End of Battle for Verdte

At 04/04/2013 at 16:31 the skirmish between the forces of Starviper and the forces of Boomington have ended as quickly as they began. The short conflict, which started on 04/04/2013 at 16:32, claimed 36 lives on both sides of the engagement.

The skirmish came as a surprise to the citizens of the Verdte system as the first shells hit their targets. Experts expected this conflict to draw on longer than it did. Skeptics warn that this decline should not be considered permanent and that more hostilities are probable as long as relations between the two factions remain strained.
