Decline in Combat on Episer III

Hostilites on Episer III have come to a decline as of 04/06/2016 at 13:43. The conflict has already claimed at least 37 lives and seen the loss of 34 units and facilities.

Battle began 04/06/2016 at 13:31 when battle elements of Gideon and Deveroes 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 III are equally skeptical as the combat has already claimed countless lives of civilians and wrecked 32 facilities on both sides of the war. The individual colonial governments are anxious to begin the rebuilding process.
