Ekbu VII Begins Rebuilding

After -2minutes, hostilities have seemingly drawn to an end on Ekbu VII. The turmoil of the engagement claimed 10 lives on both sides of the line.

Early estimates report units and 10 facilities were destroyed on both sides of the fighting. Debris litters the ground and smoke fills the sky from the fires across Ekbu VII remaining from the long battle.

The combat began 06/23/2013 at 22:30 when Tangenteran forces clashed with NeoCat and Ghosage forces. It was unclear at the start of the battle how devastating it would be on Ekbu VII. 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 10,130 jobs have been removed from the economy of Ekbu VII and 405,530 homes have been destroyed.

"The economical strain on Ekbu VII 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.
