Decline in Engagements

Hostilites in Dominion have come to a decline as of 08/16/2012 at 07:52. The conflict has already claimed at least 2,944 lives and seen the loss of 62 units and facilities.

Battle began 08/16/2012 at 07:41 when battle elements of Phoenix engaged the forces of Jesfr. Skeptics feel this decline in combat may only be temporary and warn against regarding it as a downward trend.

The Galactic Trade Commission has begun taking advantage of the pause in combat to make large progress on clearing the debris left behind from the battles.
