THE COLLISION
What began as a large-scale confrontation in Avaux quickly became a grinding exchange between two sizeable coalitions of mixed fleets. The data points to a fight built around volume and pressure rather than a quick strike, with attackers and victims drawn from the same broad cluster of groups and both sides committing enough ships to make retreat difficult once contact was made.
THE FIRE EXCHANGE
The wreckage tells the story of a broad and varied engagement. Legion cruisers were hit hardest, with Apocalypse, Nightmare, Barghest, Machariel, and Eos losses also appearing in the aftermath. That mix suggests a battle fought at multiple ranges and against multiple layers of defence, where heavy hulls and specialised ships were both exposed as the confrontation widened.
THE TURN
With 272 participants tied to the losing side of the engagement and damage spread across several allied groups, the fight appears to have turned into a sustained attritional clash rather than a clean ambush or a simple rout. Snuffed Out and C A M E L O T, alongside Parallaxis Alliance, Project Potato, and Blank-Space, were among the names pressing the attack, and the final blow data places WarBeacon at the centre of the decisive destruction.
THE COST
By the end, the battle had produced losses on both sides worth tens of billions of ISK, with Can i bring my Drake... and The GYM, and others alone absorbing more than 23 billion ISK in damage. In practical terms, that kind of bill does more than clear ships from the grid: it removes hard-to-replace hulls, drains readiness, and leaves a visible mark on the balance of power in the system. Avaux now carries the imprint of a fight that was not brief, not cheap, and not easily forgotten.
