154 Billion ISK Battle Leaves Shakasi as a Field of Wrecks

A sprawling clash in Shakasi ended with 378 participants trading blows for nearly 90 minutes and 154.1 billion ISK in destruction, with the battle centered on the loss of Shakasi itself to a coalition of Shadow Cartel and Triumvirate.-linked forces.

THE COLLISION

The engagement in Shakasi unfolded as a large, prolonged fight rather than a swift strike. According to the battle data, the action stretched from 17:14 to 18:43 EVE time and drew 378 pilots into the fray, leaving 196 losses behind. What began as a contested clash between the forces grouped around "Can i bring my Drake... and Parallaxis Alliance, and others" and the opposing camp tied to Shadow Cartel and Triumvirate., and others developed into a heavy exchange with little room for either side to disengage cleanly.

SHIPS LOST IN THE PRESS

The wreckage tells the story of a fleet action that chewed through a broad range of hulls. Hurricanes accounted for the highest number of losses, followed by Nagas, Nightmares, Tempest Fleet Issues, Leshaks, and Apocalypses. That mix suggests a fight that did not spare any particular class of ship, with battlecruisers, battlecruiser-sized firepower, and heavier doctrine hulls all caught in the same widening brawl. The total value of the destruction reached 154.1 billion ISK, making this far more than a routine roaming engagement.

SHAKASI FALLS

At the center of the report is Shakasi itself, listed as the top loss and valued at 154.1 billion ISK. The ship was destroyed under pressure from the Shadow Cartel and Triumvirate.-aligned attackers, with WarBeacon recorded as the final blow. The data does not spell out the exact sequence that led to the kill, but the scale of the commitment — 378 attackers and a broad mix of supporting fleets including Ferrata Victrix, Principality of Soliara, and HOLD MY PROBS — suggests the target was boxed in by a significant and coordinated force.

THE COST OF HOLDING GROUND

The engagement appears to have ended as a costly success for the side that brought the heavier pressure to bear, but both camps paid dearly. The victim side tied to "Can i bring my Drake... and Parallaxis Alliance, and others" absorbed more than 83 billion ISK in losses, while the Shadow Cartel and Triumvirate. side also lost over 67 billion ISK in ships. In practical terms, the fight left Shakasi’s battlefield littered with wrecks from both coalitions and underlined how quickly a major clash can turn a single system into an expensive trap.

The first confirmed loss in P-ZMZV wasn't a ship. At 13:49 the opening entry on the killboard is a capsule - a pilot's escape pod, logged and destroyed. The last entry, some two and a half hours later, is an Osprey Navy Issue flown for Black Layer Syndicate. In between, the system swallowed 581 losses and roughly 1.77 trillion ISK, and when the shooting finally stopped, one side was still out there sweeping the grid for pods.

In between, Heimatar's most notorious lowsec system swallowed a Titan, a supercarrier, thirty-three capitals and somewhere in the region of 12.2 trillion ISK of everything else. The final tally: 1,705 ships destroyed, roughly 44,900 pilots credited across the killmails, and one alliance sitting proudly at the top of both the kill column and the loss column.
