Decline in Combat on Mennke VIII

Hostilites on Mennke VIII have come to a decline as of 06/16/2016 at 07:27. The conflict has already claimed at least 2,715 lives and seen the loss of 115 units and facilities.

Battle began 06/16/2016 at 07:15 when battle elements of Pirates engaged the forces of Fragged. Skeptics feel this decline in combat may only be temporary and warn against regarding it as a downward trend.

Citizens of Mennke VIII are equally skeptical as the combat has already claimed countless lives of civilians and wrecked 2 facilities on both sides of the war. The individual colonial governments are anxious to begin the rebuilding process.
