Sahtogas IV Begins Rebuilding

After 18minutes, hostilities have seemingly drawn to an end on Sahtogas IV. The turmoil of the engagement claimed 11,535 lives on both sides of the line.

Early estimates report units and 78 facilities were destroyed on both sides of the fighting. Debris litters the ground and smoke fills the sky from the fires across Sahtogas IV remaining from the long battle.

The combat began 06/02/2012 at 15:00 when Gideon forces clashed with Vaporific forces. It was unclear at the start of the battle how devastating it would be on Sahtogas IV. 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 162,413 jobs have been removed from the economy of Sahtogas IV and 130,598 homes have been destroyed.

"The economical strain on Sahtogas IV 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.
