Decline in Engagements

Hostilites in Ekbu have come to a decline as of 08/10/2013 at 08:14. The conflict has already claimed at least 8,511 lives and seen the loss of 65 units and facilities.

Battle began 08/10/2013 at 07:35 when battle elements of Gideon engaged the forces of HaidenCuro. Skeptics feel this decline in combat may only be temporary and warn against regarding it as a downward trend.

The Galactic Trade Commission has begun taking advantage of the pause in combat to make large progress on clearing the debris left behind from the battles.
