231.6B ISK Ravarin Battle Ends in a Heavy Exchange of Capitals and Battleships

A long fight in Ravarin ended with a 231.6 billion ISK total loss on the field, as a 306-ship engagement between Deepwater Hooligans and Sedition. and allies, Minmatar Fleet Alliance and Test Alliance Please Ignore, and allies, and Snuffed Out tore through capitals, marauders, and battleships over the course of more than ten hours. The scale of the destruction suggests a major fleet action rather than a brief strike, with the Ravarin battle itself standing out as the headline loss of the day.

THE OPENING CLASH

The engagement in Ravarin began in the early hours and did not resolve until well into the following day, stretching from 01:45 UTC to 11:56 UTC. By the time the fighting had run its course, 306 pilots had been drawn into the same violent contest and 102 ships had been destroyed. Deepwater Hooligans and Sedition. appeared on one side of the fight, while Minmatar Fleet Alliance and Test Alliance Please Ignore formed another major bloc, with Snuffed Out also taking part in the broader clash.

CAPITALS UNDER PRESSURE

The ship losses point to a battle that escalated well beyond a roaming skirmish. Machariels were the most common losses recorded, followed by Typhoons, Revelation Navy Issues, Phoenixes, and Redeemers. That mix suggests a collision between hard-hitting subcapital forces and a serious capital presence, the kind of fight where a single mistake can cascade into expensive wreckage. With 231.6 billion ISK destroyed overall, the engagement carried the weight of a major regional confrontation.

THE BREAK POINT

The single biggest loss of the fight was the Ravarin itself, destroyed for 231.6 billion ISK and credited to the Deepwater Hooligans and Sedition. side. The final blow was tied to WarBeacon, and the loss appears to have been the defining moment of the engagement. A target of that value does not fall by accident; it usually marks the point where control of the grid has already been lost and the field has turned against the victim.

WHAT IT COST

Minmatar Fleet Alliance and Test Alliance Please Ignore, and allies, absorbed the larger share of the destruction at more than 118.5 billion ISK, while Deepwater Hooligans and Sedition. and allies lost just over 106.6 billion ISK. Snuffed Out’s losses were much lighter by comparison, but the battle still left every side bloodied. For Ravarin, the result is clear enough: a long, grinding engagement that ended with a signature ship gone, fleets chewed apart, and a large-scale fight that will likely be remembered for the sheer cost of holding the field.

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.

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.

Rattini Tribe Topped Amamake's Kills and Its Losses

At 22:01 UTC the first wreck of the night was a Slasher, a frigate so cheap it barely registers as a rounding error in a system like Amamake. Nearly four hours later, at 01:59, a Hecate stopped burning and the shooting finally trailed off. 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.

Of the 47 ships destroyed in Ignebaener, 46 were, in ISK terms, background noise.

One hull, one pilot, one very bad moment, and the number that will define this fight long after the killboards stop updating.
