26.5B ISK Battle in H-29TM Ends in Multi-Group Scrap

A 26.5 billion ISK engagement in H-29TM drew 217 participants into a long-running clash that ended with a heavy spread of losses, led by an expensive destruction tied to HOLD MY PROBS and Legion of xXDEATHXx, and others. The fight, which stretched across many hours, suggests a sustained contest rather than a brief strike, with Brotherhood of Spacers and xqtywiznalamywmodxfhhopawzpqyjdwrpeptuaenabjawdzku, and others appearing as the main opposing force.

THE COSTLY CENTERPIECE

At the heart of the fight was a 26.5 billion ISK loss tied to HOLD MY PROBS and Legion of xXDEATHXx, and others, destroyed in H-29TM after pressure from a 217-pilot battle. The scale alone marks the event as more than a routine brawl: this was the kind of loss that turns an engagement into a remembered disaster, especially when the final blow is credited to WarBeacon and the wreckage leaves nothing priced in return.

THE FLEETS COLLIDE

The combat data points to Brotherhood of Spacers and xqtywiznalamywmodxfhhopawzpqyjdwrpeptuaenabjawdzku, and others on one side, with HOLD MY PROBS and Legion of xXDEATHXx, and others on the other, though the presence of multiple group names on each side suggests a wider coalition scrap rather than a clean two-corporation duel. Damage appears to have been distributed across several fleets, with Brotherhood of Spacers contributing the largest share among the attackers listed, followed by xqtywiznalamywmodxfhhopawzpqyjdwrpeptuaenabjawdzku and smaller contributions from Skuffed Out., Snuffed Out, and Abyssal Brick Rollers.

HEAVY SHIPS LEFT BURNING

The losses show the fight was not confined to light tackle or roaming cruisers. An Apocalypse Navy Issue and a Nightmare were both among the most common wrecks, joined by Purifiers, Vindicators, a Revelation, and a Vulture. That mix suggests a battle that escalated into the sort of costly exchange where battleships, capitals, and specialist support all found themselves exposed to the same closing net.

WHY IT MATTERS

A 32-ship loss count may not make this the largest confrontation in New Eden by raw numbers, but the value concentrated in H-29TM gives it weight. When a fight produces a 26.5 billion ISK centerpiece and leaves behind a spread of high-end hulls, it points to a clash where both sides committed meaningful assets and accepted real risk. For the groups involved, the consequence is simple: H-29TM became an expensive marker of pressure, coordination, and a battle that did not end quietly.

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.
