The combat began 06/24/2019 at 00:51 when Alastir forces clashed with Pirates forces. It was unclear at the start of the battle how devastating it would be on Verkgu V. Humanitarian efforts dispatched from the Galactic Senate are underway.

"The sight of the destruction is amazing. It is hard to imagine the loss of life from this encounter.", one spokesperson from the GTC reported.It is reported that 1,984,088 jobs have been removed from the economy of Verkgu V and 1,461,582 homes have been destroyed.

"The economical strain on Verkgu V will be huge for quite a while. The rebuilding process will take a lot of time.", the GTC spokesperson stated.

It is still unclear whether this decline in hostilities is permanent or if it is only temporary. While relations remain strained between the warring factions, everything remains uncertain.
