7.6B-ISK Battle Report Falls in UALX-3 Clash

A 7.6 billion ISK battle report was destroyed in UALX-3 after 88 attackers from Brave Collective, Sigma Grindset, and others closed in on a force drawn from Honkai Star Rail, Beyond the Breach, and allies. The engagement ran for nearly two hours and left 69 losses behind, with the heaviest blows landing on a mix of battlecruisers, battleships, logistics, and support ships.

THE CATCH

The fight in UALX-3 stretched from 13:46 until 15:39 UTC, suggesting a sustained clash rather than a quick strike. By the time it ended, the field had shifted decisively in favour of the 88 attackers, while the opposing side absorbed the bulk of the reported 7.6 billion ISK in destruction. Brave Collective and Sigma Grindset appear to have formed the main pressure group, with Honkai Star Rail, Beyond the Breach, and others taking the heavier losses.

THE EXCHANGE

The ship losses point to a fight that mixed frontline damage with enough support presence to keep both sides in the field for a while. Hurricanes led the losses at 27, followed by 10 Megathrons, with Retributions, Oneiros logistics ships, Flycatchers, and Sentinels also destroyed. That spread suggests the engagement was not limited to a single class of target, but involved sustained trades across damage dealers, tackle, and support as the battle developed.

THE BREAK

The final blow was credited to WarBeacon, closing out the destruction of the battle report itself. The named attacker groups include Brave Collective, Sigma Grindset, Brave United, and The Initiative., which may indicate coordinated pressure from multiple wings rather than a lone hunting party. With 88 attackers involved, the force on grid appears to have had the numbers needed to wear down resistance and finish the job.

THE CONSEQUENCE

At 7.6 billion ISK, the loss is large enough to matter even by New Eden standards, especially in a fight that also removed a meaningful spread of combat hulls and support ships. The casualty list suggests both sides committed enough to make the encounter costly, but the final balance favoured the attackers. In UALX-3, the story is not just that a battle report was destroyed — it is that a long, grinding engagement ended with one side failing to hold the field and paying dearly for the attempt.

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.
