WAR!

Hostilities escalated today at 08/16/2012 at 06:35 into a full conflict. Forces from Jesfr fighting against elements of Phoenix, has seen 11 units destroyed and over 63 facilities left in ruin on Bean. The GTC has established special sanctions for safe transport of key personnel during the conflict.

Citizens of Bean are terrified and left wondering what the future holds for the jobs, economy and well-being of Bean and its colonies. With such catastrophic death tolls that are only promising to rise as the fighting continues, there is enormous uncertainty in the air.
