The combat began 01/05/2013 at 22:21 when Amerlain forces clashed with Raven08 forces. It was unclear at the start of the battle how devastating it would be on Zoalja II. 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 2,355,355 jobs have been removed from the economy of Zoalja II and 1,734,465 homes have been destroyed.
"The economical strain on Zoalja II 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.
