Decline in Combat on Verdte V

Hostilites on Verdte V have come to a decline as of 04/04/2013 at 06:33. The conflict has already claimed at least 361 lives and seen the loss of 11 units and facilities.

Battle began 04/04/2013 at 06:34 when battle elements of Starviper engaged the forces of Boomington. Skeptics feel this decline in combat may only be temporary and warn against regarding it as a downward trend.

Citizens of Verdte V are equally skeptical as the combat has already claimed countless lives of civilians and wrecked 9 facilities on both sides of the war. The individual colonial governments are anxious to begin the rebuilding process.
