Cogrce IV Begins Rebuilding

After 10minutes, hostilities have seemingly drawn to an end on Cogrce IV. The turmoil of the engagement claimed 13 lives on both sides of the line.

Early estimates report units and 13 facilities were destroyed on both sides of the fighting. Debris litters the ground and smoke fills the sky from the fires across Cogrce IV remaining from the long battle.

The combat began 09/08/2016 at 18:06 when Amerlain forces clashed with Pirates forces. It was unclear at the start of the battle how devastating it would be on Cogrce 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 365,199 jobs have been removed from the economy of Cogrce IV and 406,080 homes have been destroyed.

"The economical strain on Cogrce 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.
