Decline in Engagements

Hostilites in Cogthu have come to a decline as of 06/18/2016 at 09:14. The conflict has already claimed at least 9 lives and seen the loss of 1 units and facilities.

Battle began 06/18/2016 at 09:15 when battle elements of Gideon engaged the forces of Pirates. 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.
