Decline in Combat on Optaqu II

Hostilites on Optaqu II have come to a decline as of 07/15/2020 at 14:58. The conflict has already claimed at least 78 lives and seen the loss of 75 units and facilities.

Battle began 07/15/2020 at 14:44 when battle elements of Agatian engaged the forces of Endstar. Skeptics feel this decline in combat may only be temporary and warn against regarding it as a downward trend.

Citizens of Optaqu II are equally skeptical as the combat has already claimed countless lives of civilians and wrecked 74 facilities on both sides of the war. The individual colonial governments are anxious to begin the rebuilding process.
