Decline in Combat on Holplo IV

Hostilites on Holplo IV have come to a decline as of 07/25/2013 at 20:57. The conflict has already claimed at least 1,421 lives and seen the loss of 106 units and facilities.

Battle began 07/25/2013 at 20:48 when battle elements of Alastes and Valen engaged the forces of Ghosage. Skeptics feel this decline in combat may only be temporary and warn against regarding it as a downward trend.

Citizens of Holplo IV are equally skeptical as the combat has already claimed countless lives of civilians and wrecked 100 facilities on both sides of the war. The individual colonial governments are anxious to begin the rebuilding process.
