Decline in Combat on Episer IX

Hostilites on Episer IX have come to a decline as of 04/11/2016 at 03:42. The conflict has already claimed at least 14 lives and seen the loss of 14 units and facilities.

Battle began 04/11/2016 at 03:31 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 IX are equally skeptical as the combat has already claimed countless lives of civilians and wrecked 14 facilities on both sides of the war. The individual colonial governments are anxious to begin the rebuilding process.
