Decline in Combat on Verdte IV

Hostilites on Verdte IV have come to a decline as of 03/13/2016 at 15:57. The conflict has already claimed at least 2,233 lives and seen the loss of 68 units and facilities.

Battle began 03/13/2016 at 15:51 when battle elements of Pirates engaged the forces of Lightforger. Skeptics feel this decline in combat may only be temporary and warn against regarding it as a downward trend.

Citizens of Verdte IV are equally skeptical as the combat has already claimed countless lives of civilians and wrecked 0 facilities on both sides of the war. The individual colonial governments are anxious to begin the rebuilding process.
