Decline in Combat on Verdte XI

Hostilites on Verdte XI have come to a decline as of 04/05/2013 at 19:23. The conflict has already claimed at least 1,307 lives and seen the loss of 57 units and facilities.

Battle began 04/05/2013 at 19:22 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 XI are equally skeptical as the combat has already claimed countless lives of civilians and wrecked 54 facilities on both sides of the war. The individual colonial governments are anxious to begin the rebuilding process.
