Decline in Combat on Bean

Hostilites on Bean have come to a decline as of 08/10/2016 at 21:49. The conflict has already claimed at least 624 lives and seen the loss of 24 units and facilities.

Battle began 08/10/2016 at 21:52 when battle elements of Pirates engaged the forces of Sniv. Skeptics feel this decline in combat may only be temporary and warn against regarding it as a downward trend.

Citizens of Bean are equally skeptical as the combat has already claimed countless lives of civilians and wrecked 0 facilities on both sides of the war. The individual colonial governments are anxious to begin the rebuilding process.
