Cease Fire On Episer IX

At 03/23/2016 at 19:43 the skirmish between the forces of Gideon and the forces of Pirates have ended as quickly as they began. The short conflict, which started on 03/23/2016 at 19:31, claimed 776 lives on both sides of the engagement.

The skirmish came as a surprise to the citizens of Episer IX 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.
