WAR!

Hostilities escalated today at 12/08/2016 at 12:02 into a full conflict. Forces from Pirates fighting against elements of Fragged, has seen 2 units destroyed and over 0 facilities left in ruin on Equtgu I. The GTC has established special sanctions for safe transport of key personnel during the conflict.

Citizens of Equtgu I are terrified and left wondering what the future holds for the jobs, economy and well-being of Equtgu I and its colonies. With such catastrophic death tolls that are only promising to rise as the fighting continues, there is enormous uncertainty in the air.
