26.5B ISK Holding Out in H-29TM Ends in a Coalition Kill

A 26.5 billion ISK ship marked as H-29TM was destroyed in a large-scale fight in H-29TM, where 217 participants traded blows over the course of a prolonged engagement. The loss landed in the hands of a mixed attacking force led by Brotherhood of Spacers and a closely named partner bloc, with HOLD MY PROBS and Legion of xXDEATHXx among the heaviest losers on the field.

THE BREAK

The fight in H-29TM developed into a major battle rather than a quick catch. By the time it ended, 32 ships had been destroyed and the total value of the engagement had climbed to 26.5 billion ISK. The scale suggests a coordinated clash in which several groups were committed long enough for the situation to harden into a costly exchange instead of a brief interception.

THE PRIZE

The headline loss was the 26.5 billion ISK H-29TM itself, destroyed after pressure from a 217-strong attacking side. WarBeacon is listed with the final blow, but the damage came from a wider effort that included Brotherhood of Spacers, xqtywiznalamywmodxfhhopawzpqyjdwrpeptuaenabjawdzku, Skuffed Out., Snuffed Out, and Abyssal Brick Rollers. That mix points to a battle where the target was worn down by sustained attention rather than a single sudden strike.

THE LOSSES

The ship mix shows just how hard the engagement bit into both sides. Among the destroyed hulls were Apocalypse Navy Issues and Nightmares, alongside Purifiers, Vindicators, a Revelation, and a Vulture. Those losses suggest a fight that escalated across multiple ship classes, with subcapital pressure colliding with heavier assets before control of the field finally tipped.

THE COST

HOLD MY PROBS and Legion of xXDEATHXx and its partners absorbed the largest share of the damage, losing more than 21 billion ISK in the engagement. Brotherhood of Spacers and its allies also took a significant hit, but the overall result still leaves H-29TM as the defining prize of the battle: an expensive destruction in a large, messy clash that ended with one side paying dearly to keep the upper hand.

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.
