WAR!

Hostilities escalated today at 07/05/2013 at 00:13 into a full conflict. Forces from Starwind, Kylekoekemoer and NeoCat fighting against elements of Pirates, has seen 5 units destroyed and over 24 facilities left in ruin on Ekbu IV. The GTC has established special sanctions for safe transport of key personnel during the conflict.

Citizens of Ekbu IV are terrified and left wondering what the future holds for the jobs, economy and well-being of Ekbu IV and its colonies. With such catastrophic death tolls that are only promising to rise as the fighting continues, there is enormous uncertainty in the air.
