10.2B ISK Fleet Crashes in J133234 as Blue Loot Not Included Takes the Field

A 50-ship fight in the wormhole system J133234 ended with more than 10.2 billion ISK destroyed and Kitchen Sinkhole taking the heavier share of the losses. The clash stretched for nearly 50 minutes and left both Kitchen Sinkhole and Blue Loot Not Included bloodied, but it was Kitchen Sinkhole’s side that appears to have absorbed the costliest damage as the engagement broke apart.

THE CLASH IN J133234

The fighting in J133234 ran from 15:27 to 16:15 UTC and drew 50 participants into a battle that looks more like a coordinated fleet action than a passing skirmish. Blue Loot Not Included and Kitchen Sinkhole were both present in force, but the damage record suggests the momentum stayed with Blue Loot Not Included as the engagement wore on and the losses mounted.

THE LOSSES MOUNT

By the end of the fight, 23 ships had been lost and the wreckage painted a clear picture of the hulls committed. Nighthawks featured heavily among the destroyed ships, alongside Harbinger Navy Issues, Basilisks, and Cenotaphs. That mix suggests both sides were fielding meaningful firepower and support, with logistics ships among the dead indicating the fight did not remain one-sided for long.

THE PRICE OF THE ENGAGEMENT

Kitchen Sinkhole absorbed the larger share of the destruction, with losses valued at roughly 8.05 billion ISK compared with Blue Loot Not Included’s 2.16 billion. The most expensive single loss was the fight itself as reflected in the 10.2 billion ISK total destroyed, a figure that marks this as a serious engagement even by wormhole standards. The final blow was recorded by WarBeacon, underlining that this was a battle report decided in the chaos of fleet combat rather than a lone-gun hunt.

WHAT IT SUGGESTS

With no alliance banners attached to the report, the clash appears to have been a direct org-versus-org engagement rather than a larger coalition affair. The casualty mix and the length of the fight suggest both sides were committed enough to stay on grid, but the numbers point to a costly day for Kitchen Sinkhole. In a system like J133234, that kind of exchange can quickly reshape who can project force, who must reship, and who gets to claim the field when the smoke clears.

Scan Stakan Killed 55 Ships and Lost 186 in the Same Fight

E-WMT7 produced 376 killmails, somewhere around 134 billion ISK of wreckage, and one battleship worth more than a force auxiliary, a Nestor and a Typhoon Fleet Issue put together. The number that stings harder is 186. That is how many ships Scan Stakan lost in the same engagement in which they killed 55 - top of the kill list and top of the loss list, in a single three-and-a-half-hour afternoon.

At 17:28 UTC, a Retriever died in Raa. Retrievers die constantly, and in Devoid that is more or less the job description. This one is only worth mentioning because of what followed it: for the next hundred minutes, a system on the edge of Amarr space turned into a scrapyard, and by the time the last shot landed at 19:10, 87 ships had been destroyed and the bill had reached 157.4 billion ISK. Almost half of that was one Revelation.

Rattini Tribe and Prime Directive. Split Dal's 192 Billion ISK Bill

An Amarr Shuttle belonging to G0lden Fleet. died in Dal at 16:15 UTC. That is not normally the opening line of a 192 billion ISK story, but Dal spent the next three hours and forty-one minutes making sure nobody forgot it. By the time the last capsule in the system - belonging to x Never Regret x - came apart at 19:56, 557 pilots had produced 516 confirmed losses, fourteen capital ships had been wrecked, and the Heimatar system had eaten just over 192 billion ISK. That is not a skirmish somebody stumbled into. That is a decision, made over and over, for the better part of four hours.

Brave Newbies Topped Both Sides of the HY-RWO Ledger

The first ship to die in HY-RWO was a Rokh worth 44.7 billion ISK, and it set the tone for everything that came after. Over the following hour, 1,883 pilots fought in the Catch system, 243 ships were destroyed, and around 205 billion ISK was removed from the economy one killmail at a time. Not a single capital ship died. In a fight of that size, the most expensive losses were ordinary battleships, fitted in a way that makes the word 'ordinary' sound absurd.
