Decline in Combat on Ekbu I

Hostilites on Ekbu I have come to a decline as of 05/15/2017 at 10:30. The conflict has already claimed at least 212 lives and seen the loss of 109 units and facilities.

Battle began 05/15/2017 at 10:19 when battle elements of Sunxerxes 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 Ekbu I are equally skeptical as the combat has already claimed countless lives of civilians and wrecked 108 facilities on both sides of the war. The individual colonial governments are anxious to begin the rebuilding process.
