A capsule carrying 1.4 billion ISK in implants was destroyed in the wormhole system of J214811, ending a brief but costly encounter in the hands of a lone Flycatcher pilot.

A The Initiative. Golem was destroyed in AV-VB6 in a brief 2.1 billion ISK engagement that appears to have been decided by a single unaligned attacker.
