Decline in Combat on Optaqu VII

Hostilites on Optaqu VII have come to a decline as of 07/15/2020 at 20:07. The conflict has already claimed at least 5 lives and seen the loss of 2 units and facilities.

Battle began 07/15/2020 at 19:53 when battle elements of Gedeon 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 VII are equally skeptical as the combat has already claimed countless lives of civilians and wrecked 1 facilities on both sides of the war. The individual colonial governments are anxious to begin the rebuilding process.
