End of Battle for Zoafre

At 06/01/2012 at 19:41 the skirmish between the forces of Hooch and Berndarmin and the forces of Goudron and Ghosage have ended as quickly as they began. The short conflict, which started on 06/01/2012 at 19:04, claimed 684 lives on both sides of the engagement.

The skirmish came as a surprise to the citizens of the Zoafre system as the first shells hit their targets. Experts expected this conflict to draw on longer than it did. Skeptics warn that this decline should not be considered permanent and that more hostilities are probable as long as relations between the two factions remain strained.
