Decline in Combat on Mendca IX

Hostilites on Mendca IX have come to a decline as of 05/08/2016 at 15:44. The conflict has already claimed at least 25 lives and seen the loss of 25 units and facilities.

Battle began 05/08/2016 at 15:32 when battle elements of Amerlain 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 Mendca IX are equally skeptical as the combat has already claimed countless lives of civilians and wrecked 9 facilities on both sides of the war. The individual colonial governments are anxious to begin the rebuilding process.
