Epinne IX Begins Rebuilding

After 2minutes, hostilities have seemingly drawn to an end on Epinne IX. The turmoil of the engagement claimed 2,536 lives on both sides of the line.

Early estimates report units and 11 facilities were destroyed on both sides of the fighting. Debris litters the ground and smoke fills the sky from the fires across Epinne IX remaining from the long battle.

The combat began 03/28/2013 at 10:53 when Stipess and Ryan2k92k8 forces clashed with Pirates forces. It was unclear at the start of the battle how devastating it would be on Epinne IX. Humanitarian efforts dispatched from the Galactic Senate are underway.

"The sight of the destruction is amazing. It is hard to imagine the loss of life from this encounter.", one spokesperson from the GTC reported.It is reported that 38,166 jobs have been removed from the economy of Epinne IX and 20,092 homes have been destroyed.

"The economical strain on Epinne IX will be huge for quite a while. The rebuilding process will take a lot of time.", the GTC spokesperson stated.

It is still unclear whether this decline in hostilities is permanent or if it is only temporary. While relations remain strained between the warring factions, everything remains uncertain.
