Conflict Breaks Out on Verdte I

Battle elements belonging to Pirates engaged in combat with the forces of Starviper on 01/23/2013 at 22:07. The conflicts were reported to take place sporadically on Verdte I.

Citizens of Verdte I are bracing for the possibility of an extended conflict. So far, both sides are reporting minor losses of 1. The death toll is expected to only increase as this conflict develops.
