Decline in Combat on Cognta IX

Hostilites on Cognta IX have come to a decline as of 12/07/2016 at 15:27. The conflict has already claimed at least 1,893 lives and seen the loss of 93 units and facilities.

Battle began 12/07/2016 at 15:15 when battle elements of Pirates engaged the forces of Trpp. Skeptics feel this decline in combat may only be temporary and warn against regarding it as a downward trend.

Citizens of Cognta IX 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.
