4.5B ISK Fleet Clash Ends in 9CG6-H Bloodletting

A 39-pilot fight in 9CG6-H left 24 ships wrecked and about 4.5 billion ISK burned away, with OnlyFleets. taking the heavier share of the damage as Sigma Grindset and Ligma Grindset pressed the attack. The engagement sprawled across multiple hull classes, but the losses show a familiar picture: a brawl that turned costly fast, and a fleet that could not keep its line intact once the shooting started.

THE CLASH FOR 9CG6-H

The fight unfolded in 9CG6-H over the course of many hours on June 20 and June 21, drawing in 39 participants and ending only after a long exchange of ship losses. The scale suggests an organised fleet action rather than a passing skirmish, with both sides committing enough strength to turn the system into a wreck field.

THE DAMAGE SPREADS

OnlyFleets. absorbed more than 3 billion ISK in losses, far more than the damage taken by Sigma Grindset and Ligma Grindset. The wreckage was not confined to one ship class either: Megathrons, Typhoon Fleet Issues, Hyperions, Vindicators, and logistics hulls including Oneiros and Guardian ships all ended up among the destroyed vessels, pointing to a fight that hit hard across the line.

THE TURNING POINT

The heaviest single loss in the engagement is tied to the battle report itself, marked at 4.5 billion ISK and attributed to OnlyFleets. against Sigma Grindset and Ligma Grindset. The final blow is listed under WarBeacon, but the broader picture is of a fleet that kept bleeding ships as the engagement developed, suggesting the pressure never really lifted once the battle began to bite.

WHY IT MATTERS

This was not a titanic strategic exchange, but it was still a costly one. Twenty-four losses in a single extended confrontation is enough to leave a mark, and the mix of destroyed battleships and support ships suggests both sides committed real force. For OnlyFleets., the price was steep; for Sigma Grindset and Ligma Grindset, it was a hard-fought outcome that turned 9CG6-H into a memorable and expensive battlefield.

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.
