Europa Begins Rebuilding

After 7minutes, hostilities have seemingly drawn to an end on Europa. The turmoil of the engagement claimed 9,072 lives on both sides of the line.

Early estimates report units and 100 facilities were destroyed on both sides of the fighting. Debris litters the ground and smoke fills the sky from the fires across Europa remaining from the long battle.

The combat began 04/15/2012 at 22:39 when Light and Brian0217 forces clashed with Megatron forces. It was unclear at the start of the battle how devastating it would be on Europa. Humanitarian efforts dispatched from the Galactic Senate are underway.

"The sight of the destruction is amazing. It is hard to imagine the loss of life from this encounter.", one spokesperson from the GTC reported.It is reported that 1,285,973 jobs have been removed from the economy of Europa and 769,356 homes have been destroyed.

"The economical strain on Europa will be huge for quite a while. The rebuilding process will take a lot of time.", the GTC spokesperson stated.

It is still unclear whether this decline in hostilities is permanent or if it is only temporary. While relations remain strained between the warring factions, everything remains uncertain.
