Decline in Engagements

Hostilites in Holplo have come to a decline as of 09/05/2014 at 17:47. The conflict has already claimed at least 379 lives and seen the loss of 19 units and facilities.

Battle began 09/05/2014 at 17:49 when battle elements of Pirates engaged the forces of Gideon. 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.
