Decline in Combat on Verdte IV

Hostilites on Verdte IV have come to a decline as of 04/04/2013 at 06:53. The conflict has already claimed at least 372 lives and seen the loss of 22 units and facilities.

Battle began 04/04/2013 at 06:53 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 IV are equally skeptical as the combat has already claimed countless lives of civilians and wrecked 20 facilities on both sides of the war. The individual colonial governments are anxious to begin the rebuilding process.
