Decline in Combat on Holplo VII

Hostilites on Holplo VII have come to a decline as of 08/15/2013 at 21:23. The conflict has already claimed at least 471 lives and seen the loss of 20 units and facilities.

Battle began 08/15/2013 at 21:20 when battle elements of Valen engaged the forces of Raven08. Skeptics feel this decline in combat may only be temporary and warn against regarding it as a downward trend.

Citizens of Holplo VII are equally skeptical as the combat has already claimed countless lives of civilians and wrecked 16 facilities on both sides of the war. The individual colonial governments are anxious to begin the rebuilding process.
