Decline in Combat on Mennke VIII

Hostilites on Mennke VIII have come to a decline as of 06/24/2016 at 10:13. The conflict has already claimed at least 2,761 lives and seen the loss of 11 units and facilities.

Battle began 06/24/2016 at 10:15 when battle elements of Fragged 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 Mennke VIII are equally skeptical as the combat has already claimed countless lives of civilians and wrecked 11 facilities on both sides of the war. The individual colonial governments are anxious to begin the rebuilding process.
