A 4.7 billion ISK engagement in 4-HWWF ended with Fraternity. and allied pilots taking the heavier punishment after a 92-ship fight stretched across more than half an hour. The clash saw a mixed force led by The Initiative. and Lazy Worms Not Dead apply the greater pressure, with the field littered by cruisers, interceptors, covert ops hulls, and scouts as the fight broke apart.

A 6.1 billion ISK force was wiped out in J150754 after Stay Feral caught Black Ribbit and Four Winds Inc. in a fight that left no margin for escape. The action involved 16 participants and ended with four losses, including a spread of heavy strategic cruisers and battle-ready hulls that pushed the engagement well beyond a routine skirmish.

A Redeemer was caught and destroyed in System 30001560 in a brief but costly strike that left behind 1.4 billion ISK in losses. The black ops battleship belonged to an independent pilot and appears to have been isolated by a small attacking group tied to HOLD MY PROBS before the final blow landed.

The Perrigen Falls campaign has entered its second week with a clear shift in tone: Get Off My Lawn is now regaining ground, even as broad regional pressure continues to weigh on the front. The struggle remains centred on a stable cluster of systems, suggesting this is less a burst of movement than a sustained contest for control and staying power.

A Crane hauling 2.4 billion ISK in value was caught and destroyed in Miroitem when a small Train Wreck. group of Machariels closed the net on Vaimos11 of HOLD MY PROBS. The hauler could not escape the pressure, and the loss ended with Xcima Thellere landing the final blow.

A 5.1 billion ISK clash in IGE-RI turned into a costly exchange as 217 pilots converged on the system and left 26 ships wrecked in their wake. The bulk of the damage fell on Seriously Suspicious and Pivovarna Union, and others, who absorbed the brunt of the losses while The Initiative. and 2012 Says Hi emerged with comparatively light damage from the fight.

A 4.1 billion ISK Occator was caught and destroyed in Ahbazon, ending what appears to have been a tense small-gang interception in a system that rarely leaves moving ships unchallenged. The loss removed a heavily laden deep-space hauler from the field and left only scattered wreckage and some surviving cargo behind.

A 3.2 billion ISK skirmish in 00GD-D ended with The Initiative. losing a Tengu and a heavily blinged capsule after C A M E L O T’s small intercept force closed the net. What began as a 24-pilot clash appears to have narrowed quickly into a hunt, with the decisive blow landing on Draxia Veron’s capsule after the ship itself was already gone.

An Occator worth 4.1 billion ISK was destroyed in Ahbazon after a small but determined group pinned the transport down and broke it apart under pressure. The fight ran for more than 25 minutes and left two ships lost in total, with the final blow landing from a Harbinger after a mixed set of attackers had already applied serious damage.

A 6.2 billion ISK Rorqual was caught and destroyed in Odebeinn, with COASTAL BROTHERHOOD and allied attackers overwhelming Thore Berason’s industrial capital before it could escape. The strike removed a ship that had become one of New Eden’s most exposed prizes: slow to move, costly to field, and nearly impossible to replace casually once the hunting parties arrive.

The campaign in Cobalt Edge is entering a more fluid phase, with Angry Miners Alliance now regaining ground after six days of sustained localised pressure. ETXT-F has been added to the front, while GQLB-V has fallen out of the active system set, suggesting the pressure remains focused but is shifting across the region rather than easing.

A Brave Collective capsule carrying a remarkably expensive set of implants was destroyed in TR07-S after Skuffed Out. caught the pilot in a brief, lethal exchange. The loss stripped away a pod valued at 1.8 billion ISK and turned what should have been a slim chance of escape into a clean finish for the attackers.

A lone capsule worth 1.5 billion ISK was caught and destroyed in Ahbazon, bringing a sudden end to a costly escape attempt. The final blow came from Persephone Inferno flying a Praxis, with the kill stripping out a full set of mid-grade Nomad implants and a Rogue Warp Drive Speed hardwiring.

A Redeemer was lost in System 30001560 after a short, sharp engagement that appears to have caught the covert-capable battleship on the back foot. The fight lasted only a few minutes, but it ended with the black ops hull destroyed and more than a billion ISK in value erased or stripped away.

A Metamorphosis carrying expensive covert hardware was caught and destroyed in J125227, leaving behind a 1.1 billion ISK loss in what appears to have been a very small, very decisive ambush. The ship belonged to Isiko Elaric of The Republic. and was brought down by an unidentified attacker flying a Secure Mainframe.

A 1.3 billion ISK Ikitursa was brought down in JRZ-B9 after a Fraternity. group closed in on the ship and finished the job with a Caracal Navy Issue landing the final blow. The loss stripped away more than a billion ISK in hull and fittings, turning a brief encounter into a costly reminder of how quickly an expensive cruiser can be isolated and destroyed.

A costly escape attempt in ARG-3R ended almost instantly when a lone Exequror Navy Issue caught and destroyed The Tuskers Co. pilot Tattulf Arsten’s capsule, wiping out 1.3 billion ISK in implants and leaving no room for a second chance.

A Fraternity. ship valued at 1.2 billion ISK was destroyed in System 30000857 after a brief clash that appears to have been decided by a small ambush force. The fight involved just five participants, but the outcome was lopsided enough to leave a costly wreck and a clean final blow for the attackers.

A Brave Collective Machariel worth 2.3 billion ISK was destroyed in a swift two-pilot encounter in System 30004830, ending a short-lived run before the battleship could escape the attention of an unidentified attacker.

A Fraternity. Paladin was destroyed in 4-HWWF after The Initiative. brought a 49-ship response to bear, turning what appears to have been a close-range hunter’s prize into a 1.4 billion ISK loss. The capital-size marauder could not break free once the pressure closed in, and the final blow went to Portcullus in an Omen Navy Issue.

A Fraternity. ship worth 2.9 billion ISK was destroyed in System 30000142 in a brief, sharp encounter that involved nine pilots and ended with a Proteus delivering the final blow. The loss was small in scale, but expensive enough to stand out immediately.

A capsule carrying more than 1.1 billion ISK in implants was destroyed in 02V-BK after Goonswarm Federation caught the pilot, Greasyforehead of Pator Tech School, and finished the job with a Gnosis-supported tackler pair. The loss was small in ship count but expensive enough to stand out, turning an apparently brief interception into a costly and very personal mistake.

Broad regional pressure is still hanging over Perrigen Falls, but the shape of the campaign now appears to be changing. Get Off My Lawn are no longer simply absorbing the push; the defenders are regaining ground, with ihub defence effort concentrated across multiple systems and signs that the front is beginning to tighten rather than widen.

A Fraternity. Tengu worth 2.2 billion ISK was caught and destroyed in 4-HWWF, with Lazy Worms Not Dead credited for the takedown. The loss, which left little time for any escape or response, was sealed by Tony Goalardo flying a Loki, and suggests a tight, fast-moving hunt rather than a prolonged engagement.
