2.2B ISK Fight Ends with the Loss of a Local Battle Report in 9-980U

A 30-pilot fight in 9-980U ended with a 2.2 billion ISK loss and a trail of wreckage spread across multiple groups, as Brave Collective and Brave United emerged credited with the final blow on a battle report that drew in Sedition., Post Mortem Services, and others, alongside Goonswarm Federation elements.

THE CATCH

The engagement in 9-980U ran from 15:43 to 18:14 UTC and appears to have built into a prolonged clash rather than a brief skirmish. Thirty pilots were involved across the field, and the destruction total reached 2.2 billion ISK by the time the shooting stopped. Brave Collective and Brave United were the largest named attacker presence in the report, with Sedition., Post Mortem Services, and others carrying the heaviest share of the losses.

THE EXCHANGE

The ship losses suggest a mixed fight rather than a cleanly one-sided wipe. Retribution interceptors or assault hulls, Deacon logistics, Vedmak cruisers, Dominixes, and Vexors all appear among the wrecks, along with three pod losses carrying Genolution 'Auroral' 197-variant implants. That spread points to a brawl that moved beyond a single hard target and into broader attrition, where lighter ships and support hulls alike were caught in the churn.

THE TURNING POINT

The named final blow went to WarBeacon, credited here through the battle report itself, with Brave Collective and Brave United listed as the notable attacking organizations. The record suggests the fight was still contested enough to produce multiple categories of losses rather than a single decisive strike, but the outcome settled on the attackers' side once the field broke enough for the report to close around a major destruction total.

THE LOSSES

Sedition. and Post Mortem Services, and others account for more than a billion ISK in losses, while Brave Collective and Brave United also absorbed substantial damage of their own, alongside a smaller contribution from Goonswarm Federation. That makes the encounter look less like a clean demolition and more like a costly regional engagement where both sides paid to stay in the fight. Even without a clearly identified flagship, the destruction of a 2.2 billion ISK battle report in one system is enough to mark the day for everyone involved.

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.

x Never Regret x Takes 40 Kills as Raa Burns 26 Capitals

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.
