"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 99,339 jobs have been removed from the economy of Acocco IX and 90,414 homes have been destroyed.

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