Cissse III Begins Rebuilding

After 35minutes, hostilities have seemingly drawn to an end on Cissse III. The turmoil of the engagement claimed 5 lives on both sides of the line.

Early estimates report units and 5 facilities were destroyed on both sides of the fighting. Debris litters the ground and smoke fills the sky from the fires across Cissse III remaining from the long battle.

The combat began 05/10/2012 at 14:54 when Light forces clashed with Valen forces. It was unclear at the start of the battle how devastating it would be on Cissse III. 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 6,285 jobs have been removed from the economy of Cissse III and 131,424 homes have been destroyed.

"The economical strain on Cissse III 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.
