Decline in Combat on Ache IX

Hostilites on Ache IX have come to a decline as of 12/08/2016 at 17:55. The conflict has already claimed at least 9 lives and seen the loss of 9 units and facilities.

Battle began 12/08/2016 at 17:53 when battle elements of Osiris engaged the forces of Pirates. Skeptics feel this decline in combat may only be temporary and warn against regarding it as a downward trend.

Citizens of Ache IX are equally skeptical as the combat has already claimed countless lives of civilians and wrecked 8 facilities on both sides of the war. The individual colonial governments are anxious to begin the rebuilding process.
