WAR!

Hostilities escalated today at 01/05/2013 at 22:35 into a full conflict. Forces from Valen and Amerlain fighting against elements of Raven08, has seen 15 units destroyed and over 67 facilities left in ruin on Holplo VIII. The GTC has established special sanctions for safe transport of key personnel during the conflict.

Citizens of Holplo VIII are terrified and left wondering what the future holds for the jobs, economy and well-being of Holplo VIII 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.
