Holngu IV Begins Rebuilding

After 30minutes, hostilities have seemingly drawn to an end on Holngu IV. The turmoil of the engagement claimed 95 lives on both sides of the line.

Early estimates report units and 42 facilities were destroyed on both sides of the fighting. Debris litters the ground and smoke fills the sky from the fires across Holngu IV remaining from the long battle.

The combat began 03/09/2012 at 15:09 when Sniv and Spairn forces clashed with Sansha forces. It was unclear at the start of the battle how devastating it would be on Holngu 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 922,602 jobs have been removed from the economy of Holngu IV and 724,880 homes have been destroyed.

"The economical strain on Holngu 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.
