Decline in Combat on Verdte XIII

Hostilites on Verdte XIII have come to a decline as of 06/25/2016 at 11:27. The conflict has already claimed at least 9 lives and seen the loss of 9 units and facilities.

Battle began 06/25/2016 at 11:21 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 Verdte XIII 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.
