Decline in Combat on Episer VIII

Hostilites on Episer VIII have come to a decline as of 03/25/2016 at 11:36. The conflict has already claimed at least 26 lives and seen the loss of 26 units and facilities.

Battle began 03/25/2016 at 11:31 when battle elements of Gideon engaged the forces of Pirates. Skeptics feel this decline in combat may only be temporary and warn against regarding it as a downward trend.

Citizens of Episer VIII are equally skeptical as the combat has already claimed countless lives of civilians and wrecked 26 facilities on both sides of the war. The individual colonial governments are anxious to begin the rebuilding process.
