Decline in Engagements

Hostilites in Ipsi have come to a decline as of 04/18/2016 at 00:29. The conflict has already claimed at least 613 lives and seen the loss of 13 units and facilities.

Battle began 04/18/2016 at 00:30 when battle elements of Pirates engaged the forces of Lightforger. Skeptics feel this decline in combat may only be temporary and warn against regarding it as a downward trend.

The Galactic Trade Commission has begun taking advantage of the pause in combat to make large progress on clearing the debris left behind from the battles.
