WAR!

Hostilities escalated today at 08/28/2016 at 08:53 into a full conflict. Forces from Pirates fighting against elements of Fragged, has seen 6 units destroyed and over 0 facilities left in ruin on Mennke VIII. The GTC has established special sanctions for safe transport of key personnel during the conflict.

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