End of Battle for Quicma

At 03/02/2013 at 13:00 the skirmish between the forces of Goudron and the forces of Desertfox have ended as quickly as they began. The short conflict, which started on 03/02/2013 at 13:01, claimed 168 lives on both sides of the engagement.

The skirmish came as a surprise to the citizens of the Quicma system as the first shells hit their targets. Experts expected this conflict to draw on longer than it did. Skeptics warn that this decline should not be considered permanent and that more hostilities are probable as long as relations between the two factions remain strained.
