Ache IX Begins Rebuilding

After -2minutes, hostilities have seemingly drawn to an end on Ache IX. The turmoil of the engagement claimed 3 lives on both sides of the line.

Early estimates report units and 3 facilities were destroyed on both sides of the fighting. Debris litters the ground and smoke fills the sky from the fires across Ache IX remaining from the long battle.

The combat began 06/23/2016 at 14:18 when BeepBeep forces clashed with Pirates forces. It was unclear at the start of the battle how devastating it would be on Ache IX. Humanitarian efforts dispatched from the Galactic Senate are underway.

"The sight of the destruction is amazing. It is hard to imagine the loss of life from this encounter.", one spokesperson from the GTC reported.It is reported that 61,115 jobs have been removed from the economy of Ache IX and 44,608 homes have been destroyed.

"The economical strain on Ache IX will be huge for quite a while. The rebuilding process will take a lot of time.", the GTC spokesperson stated.

It is still unclear whether this decline in hostilities is permanent or if it is only temporary. While relations remain strained between the warring factions, everything remains uncertain.
