Decline in Combat on Zoafre IX

Hostilites on Zoafre IX have come to a decline as of 04/09/2012 at 22:03. The conflict has already claimed at least 2,272 lives and seen the loss of 16 units and facilities.

Battle began 04/09/2012 at 22:04 when battle elements of Stryker engaged the forces of Malinko. Skeptics feel this decline in combat may only be temporary and warn against regarding it as a downward trend.

Citizens of Zoafre IX are equally skeptical as the combat has already claimed countless lives of civilians and wrecked 14 facilities on both sides of the war. The individual colonial governments are anxious to begin the rebuilding process.
