Decline in Engagements

Hostilites in Ipsi have come to a decline as of 07/02/2016 at 23:12. The conflict has already claimed at least 612 lives and seen the loss of 12 units and facilities.

Battle began 07/02/2016 at 23:15 when battle elements of Pirates engaged the forces of Lightforger. Skeptics feel this decline in combat may only be temporary and warn against regarding it as a downward trend.

The Galactic Trade Commission has begun taking advantage of the pause in combat to make large progress on clearing the debris left behind from the battles.
