26.3B ISK Battle Breaks Out in H-29TM as Capitals and Navy Hulls Burn

A 216-ship engagement in H-29TM ended with 26.3B ISK in destruction and a battlefield littered with expensive hulls. The fight dragged on for nearly half an hour before the dust settled around a mixed force led by Brotherhood of Spacers and allies, with HOLD MY PROBS and Legion of xXDEATHXx on the losing side of the day’s biggest wreck.

THE CLASH

The engagement in H-29TM ran from 19:13 to 19:42 UTC and appears to have drawn together a broad mix of fleets rather than a single clean matchup. By the end, 216 participants had committed to the field, with losses spread across several organisations and a total of 27 ships destroyed. The scale suggests a coordinated regional clash rather than a fleeting skirmish, and the range of hulls lost points to a fight that escalated beyond light harassment quickly.

THE EXPENSIVE CENTER

The largest prize of the battle was a 26.3B ISK destruction tied to HOLD MY PROBS and Legion of xXDEATHXx, and others. The top loss landed in the middle of a heavily contested engagement and was destroyed by WarBeacon, with Brotherhood of Spacers and their allies listed as the attackers behind the kill. Whatever the exact shape of the action, the value on the field was enough to make this the kind of loss that is felt far beyond the immediate system.

THE FLEETS ENGAGED

The ship losses suggest a hard-fought exchange at close and capital scale. Apocalypse Navy Issues and Nightmares made up the largest share of the wrecks, while Purifiers, Vindicators, a Revelation, and a Vulture also fell during the fight. That mix implies pressure across multiple layers of the battle: heavy subcapitals taking punishment, a capital ship destroyed, and support elements unable to stay clear once the engagement hardened.

THE AFTERMATH

Brotherhood of Spacers and xqtywiznalamywmodxfhhopawzpqyjdwrpeptuaenabjawdzku, and others emerged as the heavier damage dealer on the attacking side, with HOLD MY PROBS and Legion of xXDEATHXx, and others absorbing the larger share of the bill. BorderZone also appears in the report with a smaller but still notable footprint, underscoring how many hands were involved once the fight opened up. In the end, H-29TM became another reminder that even a brief window of commitment can turn into a costly regional brawl when capitals, command ships, and expensive navy hulls all end up in the same grid.

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.
