Cogthu IV Begins Rebuilding

After 31minutes, hostilities have seemingly drawn to an end on Cogthu IV. The turmoil of the engagement claimed 5,378 lives on both sides of the line.

Early estimates report units and 31 facilities were destroyed on both sides of the fighting. Debris litters the ground and smoke fills the sky from the fires across Cogthu IV remaining from the long battle.

The combat began 02/15/2013 at 05:38 when Gideon forces clashed with Tesboom forces. It was unclear at the start of the battle how devastating it would be on Cogthu IV. 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 24,651 jobs have been removed from the economy of Cogthu IV and 10,046 homes have been destroyed.

"The economical strain on Cogthu IV 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.
