WAR!

Hostilities escalated today at 01/19/2013 at 23:17 into a full conflict. Forces from Buster fighting against elements of BAMF, has seen 0 units destroyed and over 1 facilities left in ruin on Verdte IX. The GTC has established special sanctions for safe transport of key personnel during the conflict.

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