26.5B ISK Fight Ends in a Loss for the Hold My Probs Coalition in H-29TM

A sprawling fight in H-29TM ended with 32 ships destroyed and 26.5 billion ISK in losses, as Brotherhood of Spacers and associated fleets came away with the heavier share of the damage. The engagement drew 217 participants over several hours, with the final blow landing on the most expensive prize of the day: a 26.5B ISK battle report entry tied to HOLD MY PROBS and Legion of xXDEATHXx and others.

THE CLASH BUILDS

What began as a large-scale engagement in H-29TM stretched from 19:13 UTC until well after 03:28 UTC, suggesting a prolonged and stubborn contest rather than a brief hit-and-run. The field filled with a mix of battleships, capitals, and support hulls, the sort of composition that signals both commitment and the expectation of losses. With 217 pilots involved, this was never going to be a clean exchange.

THE HARDER HITS

The damage spread across several prominent ship classes, with Apocalypse Navy Issues and Nightmares taking the brunt of the losses. Those hulls were joined by Purifiers, Vindicators, a Revelation, and a Vulture among the destroyed ships, underscoring that this was not a single-target event but a broader collapse of ships caught in the fighting. The presence of a Revelation among the wreckage points to a battle where capital assets were committed and then exposed to danger.

THE BREAK

The heaviest cost appears to have fallen on HOLD MY PROBS and Legion of xXDEATHXx and others, whose losses accounted for the largest share of the battle’s value. Brotherhood of Spacers and xqtywiznalamywmodxfhhopawzpqyjdwrpeptuaenabjawdzku and others also took losses, but at a much lower total, while BorderZone’s share remained comparatively small. The final blow was credited to WarBeacon, bringing the engagement’s signature target down after a drawn-out struggle.

WHY IT MATTERS

A 26.5 billion ISK destruction tally is costly even by the standards of New Eden’s larger fights, and a 32-ship loss count suggests the battle had teeth despite not becoming a full system-wide slaughter. For the groups involved, the result leaves behind more than wreckage: it marks a sharp expense, a visible exchange of force, and a reminder that in a long fight, the side that stays committed longest may still be the one that pays most dearly.

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.
