WAR!

Hostilities escalated today at 03/02/2013 at 13:16 into a full conflict. Forces from BAMF fighting against elements of Pirates, has seen 0 units destroyed and over 1 facilities left in ruin on Verdte V. The GTC has established special sanctions for safe transport of key personnel during the conflict.

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