Cease Fire On Holplo IX

At 07/27/2013 at 16:31 the skirmish between the forces of Valen and Alastes and the forces of Ghosage have ended as quickly as they began. The short conflict, which started on 07/27/2013 at 16:25, claimed 102 lives on both sides of the engagement.

The skirmish came as a surprise to the citizens of Holplo IX as the first shells hit their targets. Experts expected this conflict to draw on longer than it did. Skeptics warn that this decline should not be considered permanent and that more hostilities are probable as long as relations between the two factions remain strained.
