Cissse IV Begins Rebuilding

After 2minutes, hostilities have seemingly drawn to an end on Cissse IV. The turmoil of the engagement claimed 2,073 lives on both sides of the line.

Early estimates report units and 22 facilities were destroyed on both sides of the fighting. Debris litters the ground and smoke fills the sky from the fires across Cissse IV remaining from the long battle.

The combat began 08/19/2016 at 19:53 when Ocean forces clashed with Pirates forces. It was unclear at the start of the battle how devastating it would be on Cissse IV. 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 96,815 jobs have been removed from the economy of Cissse IV and 50,230 homes have been destroyed.

"The economical strain on Cissse IV 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.
