THE LONG BURN
The battle in C2X-M5 stretched from 14:12 to 18:14 UTC, an unusually long window for a single engagement and one that hints at a clash that kept both sides committed well past the opening volleys. On one side were forces listed as Fraternity. and Synergy of Steel, and others; on the other, Invidia Gloriae Comes and LT-Corp, and others. With 42 participants recorded and losses spread across both camps, the fighting appears to have stayed contested for much of its duration.
THE HULLS LOST
The wreckage tells the story of a fleet that was never built around caution. Exequror Navy Issues, Cyclone Fleet Issues, Ferox Navy Issues, Stabber Fleet Issues, and at least two Loki strategic cruisers were among the losses, alongside capsules fitted with Genolution 'Auroral' 197-variant implants. That mix suggests the engagement reached beyond cheap screening ships and into hulls whose loss would have been felt immediately by the pilots and groups involved.
THE TURNING POINT
The single largest loss was the C2X-M5 entry itself, valued at 4.8 billion ISK and tied to Fraternity. and Synergy of Steel, and others as the victim side. The final blow is credited to WarBeacon, and the battle report indicates the opposing side assembled from multiple groups including Invidia Gloriae Comes, LT-Corp, Psyno Theory, Brotherhood of Spacers, and Dracarys. The scale of that result suggests the fight did not merely end in attrition; it appears one side was finally able to convert its pressure into a decisive prize.
THE COST
By the end, both coalitions had paid dearly, with roughly 2.86 billion ISK in losses attributed to one side and 1.93 billion ISK to the other. That kind of damage does more than dent a hangar; it disrupts the tempo of any force trying to operate in the area. In C2X-M5, the outcome reads as a warning that even prolonged resistance can unravel quickly once the balance tips.
