Aquver III Begins Rebuilding

After 3hours 19minutes, hostilities have seemingly drawn to an end on Aquver III. The turmoil of the engagement claimed 4,896 lives on both sides of the line.

Early estimates report units and 30 facilities were destroyed on both sides of the fighting. Debris litters the ground and smoke fills the sky from the fires across Aquver III remaining from the long battle.

The combat began 05/11/2013 at 01:58 when Mero forces clashed with Aero- forces. It was unclear at the start of the battle how devastating it would be on Aquver III. 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 54,844 jobs have been removed from the economy of Aquver III and 40,184 homes have been destroyed.

"The economical strain on Aquver III 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.
