26.5B ISK H-29TM Clash Ends in Heavy Capital and Navy Ship Losses

A 26.5 billion ISK engagement in H-29TM turned into a grinding, mixed-arms exchange as 217 pilots traded losses across a long-running fight that left capitals, command ships, and faction hulls wrecked in its wake. The battle appears to have centered on forces tied to Brotherhood of Spacers and HOLD MY PROBS with Legion of xXDEATHXx, with BorderZone also present in the wreckage of a clash that stretched over much of 1 June and into the following morning.

THE COLLISION

What began in H-29TM as a large-scale engagement quickly became a costly contest of endurance. The reporting shows 217 participants and 32 losses, suggesting a fight that did not resolve in a single pass but instead unfolded as fleets committed, broke apart, and re-engaged over many hours. Brotherhood of Spacers and related forces were on one side of the destruction, while HOLD MY PROBS and Legion of xXDEATHXx, and others, absorbed the largest share of the damage.

THE HEAVY HULLS

The ship losses give the engagement its weight. Apocalypse Navy Issues and Nightmares were lost in significant numbers, backed by smaller but still telling losses including Vindicators, Purifiers, Vultures, and even a Revelation. That mix suggests the fight reached well beyond a simple subcapital brawl, with capitals and faction hulls both exposed to the pressure of the exchange. When those ships start to go down, the battlefield is no longer about probing and posturing; it is about who can keep their line intact long enough to survive.

THE BREAK

The top loss was the H-29TM report itself, valued at 26.5 billion ISK and attributed to HOLD MY PROBS and Legion of xXDEATHXx, and others, with Brotherhood of Spacers and related pilots credited on the attacking side. WarBeacon is listed with the final blow, marking the battle report as the decisive end-point of the engagement. The presence of multiple fleets contributing damage, including Skuffed Out., Snuffed Out, and Abyssal Brick Rollers in smaller amounts, suggests a crowded field where control may have shifted repeatedly before the decisive collapse.

THE COST

By the time the smoke cleared, the engagement had produced 26.5 billion ISK in total value destroyed. HOLD MY PROBS and Legion of xXDEATHXx, and others, absorbed the largest loss share by far, while Brotherhood of Spacers and related forces also took meaningful damage and BorderZone was not untouched. It is the kind of fight that leaves a region remembering not just who won the field, but how much was burned to claim it. In New Eden, a battle like this matters because it shows that even large and apparently durable fleets can be dragged into an expensive, attritional fight where the wreckage outlasts the victory.

Big Vantus Paid 15 Ships Toward Pochven's 72 Billion ISK Tab

Of the 47 ships destroyed in Ignebaener, 46 were, in ISK terms, background noise. The 47th was a Paladin valued at just under 57.5 billion ISK - close to four-fifths of everything the system destroyed in one sitting. One hull, one pilot, one very bad moment, and the number that will define this fight long after the killboards stop updating.

Brave Newbies Lost 21 Ships in 4-07MU and Shot Back With Interest

Somewhere around 19:25 UTC, a Caracal Navy Issue died in 4-07MU and 912 pilots decided that was a reasonable invitation. Two hours later the system had produced 200 wrecks, 67.2 billion ISK of damage, and not one capital ship - just battleship after battleship feeding itself into a fight that refused to end. The killboards call it a gank. The killboards are only half right.

The last thing an Avatar expects to be doing is dying in lowsec, but Amamake has been ruining plans for a very long time. Redux.'s Amarr Titan - one of the largest and most expensive warships in New Eden - came apart in the Heimatar system with roughly 1,166 pilots involved in the kill, and a price tag of 142.7 billion ISK attached to a single loss.

Warlock Industries Alliance Lost 52 Billion ISK. It Wasn't Even a Capital.

Fifty-two point nine billion ISK, gone. One killmail. Eight hundred and forty-seven pilots on the record. Amamake has swallowed fleets, capitals, and more than a few alliances' sense of direction over the years. It has rarely swallowed 52.9 billion ISK in a single ship that was not even a capital. The victim was the Sarathiel, flying under the banner of Warlock Industries Alliance. The credited killer was Minmatar Fleet Associates. And every one of those 847 names belongs to the same kill.
