WAR!

Hostilities escalated today at 03/02/2013 at 13:13 into a full conflict. Forces from BAMF fighting against elements of Pirates, has seen 0 units destroyed and over 12 facilities left in ruin on Verdte XII. The GTC has established special sanctions for safe transport of key personnel during the conflict.

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