1,534 Wrecks, 148 Billion ISK and a Dead Fortizar: Seven Hours in 0FG-KS

The first ship to die in 0FG-KS was a Sabre, at 12:08 UTC. The last was a Tengu, at 19:38. In between, 1,534 ships came apart in a single system in Perrigen Falls, split between roughly 665 pilots, and the killmails added up to a little over 148 billion ISK. Seven capitals were lost. Five structures were lost. A Fortizar worth more than 41 billion ISK led the bill. And more than half of all that wreckage belonged to one alliance.

1,834 Wrecks in Twenty-Four Hours: UALX-3's 222 Billion ISK Grind

The first confirmed loss in UALX-3 was a Manticore at 00:04. The last was a Maulus at 23:56. In the twenty-three hours and fifty-two minutes between those two killmails, another 1,832 ships died in the same system in Tenerifis, and somewhere in the middle of it somebody fed a twenty-billion-ISK dreadnought into the pile. This was not a battle with a beginning, a middle and an end. It was a shift change.

Twelve Dead Capitals and a 101 Billion ISK Marshal in 48 Minutes of Vecamia

Twelve Dead Capitals and a 101 Billion ISK Marshal in 48 Minutes of Vecamia

Vecamia's killboard opens with a Standup Templar I at 18:36 and closes with an Atron at 19:24 - structure-grade hardware at one end, a T1 frigate at the other, and 124 more losses packed into the forty-eight minutes between them. That alone would make for an odd night. What turns it into a story is the entry near the top of the list: a Marshal, fitted value 101.8 billion ISK, a single line on the killboard worth more than the next three hulls beneath it combined. Six hundred and thirty-six pilots, twelve dead capitals, and 264.5 billion ISK gone in under an hour.

A Faction Dreadnought With Nowhere to Jump: 335 Billion ISK Dies in J151838

A Faction Dreadnought With Nowhere to Jump: 335 Billion ISK Dies in J151838

The Phoenix Navy Issue is a faction dreadnought - one of the most expensive hulls in New Eden - and in wormhole space it has exactly one route home: the hole it arrived through. In the small hours of the morning in J151838, that route stopped being an option. When the dreadnought came apart it took 53.6 billion ISK with it, the single largest loss of a night that ended with 335.5 billion ISK of wreckage spread across the system. Seventy-nine killmails. Two hundred and sixty-two pilots. Eighty-seven minutes. And not a single stargate to run to.

A Ship Died Every Six Seconds in 4-HWWF. Then the Keepstar Went Too.

A Ship Died Every Six Seconds in 4-HWWF. Then the Keepstar Went Too.

A ship died roughly every six seconds in 4-HWWF for twelve hours straight. By the time the shooting finally stopped, 6,783 wrecks were scattered across the system, 8,464 pilots had been pulled into the mess, and 515.8 billion ISK had been converted into salvage, loot and expanding clouds of debris. And at the top of that ledger sits one line item: a Keepstar, destroyed at a cost of 180.5 billion ISK. That is more than a third of the entire day's bill, and nearly four times the value of every stealth bomber lost around it - plural, because the bomber total is not one ship either.

3,320 Wrecks, No Capitals: Pochven's 608 Billion ISK Grinder Ran for Four Hours

At 21:04 UTC a Buzzard died in Kuharah. On the ledger of what came next, that covert ops frigate barely registers - it is simply the first line of a very long list. Three hours and fifty-five minutes later, at 00:59, a Dramiel carrying the name Advanced Tear Harvesting V exploded, and the shooting finally stopped. Somewhere in between, 3,320 ships were destroyed in a single Pochven system and roughly 608 billion ISK went up with them. Not one of those ships was a capital. Not one was a structure.

Rattini Tribe and Prime Directive. Burn Through 700 Billion ISK in Two Hours Forty of Dal

At 17:17 UTC, The Empyrean Order lost a Punisher in Dal. On its own that is not a headline - a T1 frigate is about the cheapest thing anyone can bring to a fight, and frigate losses are not normally worth reading about. Two hours and thirty-nine minutes later, at 19:56, the last confirmed loss of the evening was a capsule belonging to x Never Regret x. Between those two bookends, Dal absorbed 515 wrecks, roughly 2,080 pilots and just over 700 billion ISK.
