WAR!

Hostilities escalated today at 08/16/2013 at 19:50 into a full conflict. Forces from Tangenteran fighting against elements of Gideon, has seen 1 units destroyed and over 0 facilities left in ruin on Ekbu I. The GTC has established special sanctions for safe transport of key personnel during the conflict.

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