WAR!

Hostilities escalated today at 03/13/2016 at 10:52 into a full conflict. Forces from Amerlain and Gideon fighting against elements of Pirates, has seen 5 units destroyed and over 1 facilities left in ruin on Episer VIII. The GTC has established special sanctions for safe transport of key personnel during the conflict.

Citizens of Episer VIII are terrified and left wondering what the future holds for the jobs, economy and well-being of Episer VIII and its colonies. With such catastrophic death tolls that are only promising to rise as the fighting continues, there is enormous uncertainty in the air.
