Decline in Engagements

Hostilites in Dominion have come to a decline as of 08/17/2012 at 04:51. The conflict has already claimed at least 8 lives and seen the loss of 1 units and facilities.

Battle began 08/17/2012 at 04:53 when battle elements of Jesfr engaged the forces of Phoenix. 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.
