Decline in Combat on Verdte XIII

Hostilites on Verdte XIII have come to a decline as of 05/19/2021 at 01:25. The conflict has already claimed at least 6,370 lives and seen the loss of 60 units and facilities.

Battle began 05/19/2021 at 01:23 when battle elements of Pirates and PirateGuild engaged the forces of Amerlain. Skeptics feel this decline in combat may only be temporary and warn against regarding it as a downward trend.

Citizens of Verdte XIII are equally skeptical as the combat has already claimed countless lives of civilians and wrecked 25 facilities on both sides of the war. The individual colonial governments are anxious to begin the rebuilding process.
