Decline in Engagements

Hostilites in Verkgu have come to a decline as of 04/22/2017 at 16:10. The conflict has already claimed at least 746 lives and seen the loss of 26 units and facilities.

Battle began 04/22/2017 at 16:00 when battle elements of Pirates engaged the forces of ASSASSINA. 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.
