Decline in Combat on Verdte VIII

Hostilites on Verdte VIII have come to a decline as of 03/16/2013 at 12:17. The conflict has already claimed at least 725 lives and seen the loss of 25 units and facilities.

Battle began 03/16/2013 at 12:08 when battle elements of Drynn, BAMF and Starviper engaged the forces of Pirates. Skeptics feel this decline in combat may only be temporary and warn against regarding it as a downward trend.

Citizens of Verdte VIII are equally skeptical as the combat has already claimed countless lives of civilians and wrecked 21 facilities on both sides of the war. The individual colonial governments are anxious to begin the rebuilding process.
