4.5 Billion ISK Clash Breaks Out in 9CG6-H

A 4.5 billion ISK engagement in 9CG6-H left 24 wrecks behind after 39 participants converged on the system in a fight that stretched across more than half a day. OnlyFleets. took the heaviest share of the damage, but the losses were spread across several groups as Sigma Grindset and Ligma Grindset, OnlyFleets., Alea jacta est., and Wreckflix and chill all ended the day bloodied by the same collision.

THE COLLISION

The action in 9CG6-H opened as a mixed fleet fight, with Sigma Grindset and Ligma Grindset fielding the largest attacking presence at 21 pilots and OnlyFleets. committing 16. Smaller contributions from Alea jacta est. and Wreckflix and chill suggest this was not a clean duel between two neatly defined sides, but a broader engagement that pulled multiple groups into the same firespace.

THE LOSSES

The destroyed ships point to a brawl that favored heavier hulls and support ships alike. Ten Megathrons were among the wreckage, alongside five Typhoon Fleet Issues, four Hyperions, two Vindicators, two Oneiros, and two Guardians. That mix suggests the fight did not stay at long range or remain purely under control for long; once the shooting started, both damage dealers and logistics were caught in the churn.

THE PRESSURE BUILDS

OnlyFleets. absorbed the largest value of the losses at just over 3.06 billion ISK, while Sigma Grindset and Ligma Grindset lost roughly 1.36 billion ISK of their own. The numbers imply a clash where neither side escaped cleanly, and the presence of two logistics hull types among the wrecks hints that the engagement may have turned on sustained pressure rather than a single sudden strike.

THE PRICE OF THE FIGHT

The engagement closed with 4.5 billion ISK destroyed in total, making 9CG6-H the site of a costly and significant fleet exchange rather than a brief roaming skirmish. With 39 pilots committed and losses spread across multiple organizations, the battle appears to have had the kind of wide impact that leaves every participant with something to remember—and a repair bill to match.

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.
