Decline in Combat on Verdte XIII

Hostilites on Verdte XIII have come to a decline as of 01/20/2013 at 03:00. The conflict has already claimed at least 20 lives and seen the loss of 20 units and facilities.

Battle began 01/20/2013 at 02:43 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 XIII are equally skeptical as the combat has already claimed countless lives of civilians and wrecked 20 facilities on both sides of the war. The individual colonial governments are anxious to begin the rebuilding process.
