End of Battle for Verdte
At 03/13/2016 at 15:57 the skirmish between the forces of Pirates and the forces of Lightforger have ended as quickly as they began. The short conflict, which started on 03/13/2016 at 15:52, claimed 2,156 lives on both sides of the engagement.
The skirmish came as a surprise to the citizens of the Verdte system as the first shells hit their targets. Experts expected this conflict to draw on longer than it did. Skeptics warn that this decline should not be considered permanent and that more hostilities are probable as long as relations between the two factions remain strained.
