Decline in Combat on Verdte X

Hostilites on Verdte X have come to a decline as of 01/20/2013 at 00:33. The conflict has already claimed at least 260 lives and seen the loss of 10 units and facilities.

Battle began 01/20/2013 at 00:13 when battle elements of Buster engaged the forces of BAMF. Skeptics feel this decline in combat may only be temporary and warn against regarding it as a downward trend.

Citizens of Verdte X are equally skeptical as the combat has already claimed countless lives of civilians and wrecked 9 facilities on both sides of the war. The individual colonial governments are anxious to begin the rebuilding process.
