7.9 Billion ISK Clash Ends in UALX-3 as Brave and Fraternity Trade Heavy Losses

A 95-pilot fight in UALX-3 closed with 45 ships destroyed and roughly 7.9 billion ISK removed from the grid, as Brave Collective and Brave United tangled with Fraternity., Northern Coalition., and allies in a running engagement that left both sides bloodied. The largest loss in the fight was the UALX-3 battle report itself, a costly reminder that even in New Eden, the battle often outlasts the ships.

THE CLASH BUILDS

The engagement unfolded over more than half an hour, beginning at 13:09 and ending at 13:43 UTC. What started as a fight between roughly equal-sized groups quickly grew into a broader fleet action, with Brave Collective and Brave United on one side and Fraternity., Northern Coalition., and associated allies on the other. The numbers suggest a contest of commitment rather than a quick ambush: 95 pilots entered the fight, and 45 ships did not leave it.

HEAVY SHIPS IN THE LINE

The wreckage left behind points to a battle fought with real weight. Among the losses were Exequror Navy Issues, Vedmaks, Oneiros logistics ships, and a Malediction, a mix that suggests the fight moved beyond simple harassment and into sustained, dangerous trading on both sides. The losses were not concentrated in one hull type, which indicates the pressure spread across tackle, logistics, and damage ships as the battle developed.

THE TURNING POINT

The largest single loss was the UALX-3 battle report entry valued at 7.9 billion ISK, marked against Brave Collective and Brave United and credited to Fraternity. and Northern Coalition. as the opposing force. WarBeacon is listed on the final blow, underscoring how this engagement was tracked as a major event in its own right. With the field split across multiple organizations, the fight appears to have remained contested rather than collapsing into a one-sided rout, but the scale of the destruction shows that neither side got away cleanly.

THE COST

Brave-linked forces account for the larger share of the reported value lost, at just under 5.8 billion ISK, while Fraternity., Northern Coalition., and allies absorbed a little over 2.1 billion ISK in destruction. That imbalance suggests Brave carried the heavier bill for the exchange, even though the opposing side also paid to hold the field. In practical terms, the outcome leaves both coalitions with a reminder of how quickly a regional clash can turn expensive when fleets meet in earnest.

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.
