WAR!

Hostilities escalated today at 02/23/2013 at 20:23 into a full conflict. Forces from Pirates fighting against elements of Gideon, has seen 43 units destroyed and over 0 facilities left in ruin on Cogthu XVII. The GTC has established special sanctions for safe transport of key personnel during the conflict.

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