Phase #-
In the wake of the Vauzem bombing campaign and the Odanite counter-offensive, both sides have faced heavy casualties and entrenched themselves along various emplacements and within certain factions of the Quermian people. As the holidays approached and heavy casualties were reported on both sides of the conflict, including the loss of one Droid Manufactory, delegates from both sides of the conflict arranged to meet in a neutral location and discuss a temporary cease-fire to observe the Lifeday season.
While the O.U.S.C. Forces are wary of accepting any such agreement at face value, they've agreed to a temporary cessation of conflict and redoubled their efforts to pacify and assist civilian efforts.
A ceasefire has crossed war-torn Quermia, with both sides of the conflict agreeing to temporary terms of peaceful engagement and negotiation. The blockade surrounding the planet has temporarily eased, allowing civilian aid vessels to penetrate the Vauzem picket. Troops that have faced drawn engagements over the last several months are finally able to withdraw and find some rest and recuperation, while others refuse to give ground and remain entrenched with the ease of a night's sleep and material supplies. Photos and holocalls from the front have begun to make their way home to Kiast, showcasing these brief moments of respite. Capture one such moment and immortalize it for posterity.
