WAR!

Hostilities escalated today at 07/11/2013 at 08:10 into a full conflict. Forces from Pirates fighting against elements of Valen, has seen 3 units destroyed and over 0 facilities left in ruin on Holplo IV. The GTC has established special sanctions for safe transport of key personnel during the conflict.

Citizens of Holplo IV are terrified and left wondering what the future holds for the jobs, economy and well-being of Holplo 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.
