Decline in Combat on Dominion IX

Hostilites on Dominion IX have come to a decline as of 08/27/2012 at 17:44. The conflict has already claimed at least 1,710 lives and seen the loss of 150 units and facilities.

Battle began 08/27/2012 at 17:34 when battle elements of JonasML engaged the forces of Phoenix. Skeptics feel this decline in combat may only be temporary and warn against regarding it as a downward trend.

Citizens of Dominion IX are equally skeptical as the combat has already claimed countless lives of civilians and wrecked 145 facilities on both sides of the war. The individual colonial governments are anxious to begin the rebuilding process.
