4.5B ISK Fleet Clash Breaks Out in 9CG6-H

A 4.5 billion ISK engagement in 9CG6-H ended with 39 pilots trading blows over the course of a long, grinding fight that left 24 ships wrecked and OnlyFleets. taking the heaviest share of the damage. The battle saw Sigma Grindset and Ligma Grindset and OnlyFleets. on opposite sides of the field, with smaller contributions from Alea jacta est. and Wreckflix and chill adding to the chaos as the fight unfolded.

THE OPENING EXCHANGE

The action in 9CG6-H developed into a coordinated fleet clash rather than a brief skirmish. On one side stood Sigma Grindset and Ligma Grindset, joined in the fighting by OnlyFleets. as the two groups drove the engagement to a combined scale of 39 participants. The loss table suggests a broad mixed engagement, with battleships and support ships both committed as the fight escalated.

THE SHIPS LOST

The destruction focused heavily on battleship hulls, with Megathrons accounting for ten of the reported losses. Typhoon Fleet Issues, Hyperions, and Vindicators were also caught in the wreckage, while Oneiros and Guardian logistics ships were not spared. That spread points to a fight that was not decided by a single strike, but by sustained pressure as fleets tried to hold formation under fire.

THE TURNING POINT

OnlyFleets. appears to have borne the brunt of the losses, with more than 3 billion ISK destroyed on its side alone. Sigma Grindset and Ligma Grindset also suffered significant losses, but the balance of damage suggests the engagement favoured one side long enough to inflict serious attrition. The final blow attribution to WarBeacon closes out a fight that had already done its work by the time the field was cleared.

WHY IT MATTERS

This was not an isolated ship loss but a multi-billion ISK fleet action that left both sides paying for the attempt. In a system like 9CG6-H, a fight of this size can be felt well beyond the wreckage left behind, draining ships, logistics, and momentum in equal measure. The result is a reminder that even a relatively compact battle can become expensive fast when heavy hulls and support ships are committed to the same grid.

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.
