Decline in Engagements

Hostilites in Menzza have come to a decline as of 04/18/2016 at 20:43. The conflict has already claimed at least 541 lives and seen the loss of 4 units and facilities.

Battle began 04/18/2016 at 20:44 when battle elements of Talarial engaged the forces of Pirates. 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.
