9.1B ISK Carrier-Scale Loss Ends in J100724 Wormhole Clash

A 9.1 billion ISK ship was destroyed in J100724 after a 21-pilot engagement that stretched across more than nine hours and left a trail of losses behind it. The heaviest blow landed on a pilot from Forgot to repair, whose ship became the defining wreck of the fight, while smaller ships and specialist hulls were caught in the broader chaos around it.

THE TARGET

The central loss in J100724 was the kind that anchors an entire battle report. A ship worth 9.1 billion ISK was destroyed under pressure from a 21-strong attacking force, with Aunt Edna's Old Fashioned Fullerite Emporium credited on the final blow. The victim, flying for Forgot to repair, appears to have been caught in a fight that had already built into something far larger than a routine skirmish.

THE FIGHT UNFOLDS

The engagement stretched from 06:12 until 15:50 UTC, suggesting a drawn-out contest rather than a single sharp strike. Over that span, the battle produced 11 ship losses and 9.1 billion ISK in total value destroyed, with both sides trading damage through a mix of heavy hulls and support craft. The composition of the wreckage points to a clash that moved beyond one prized target and into a wider exchange of force.

THE LOSSES

The destroyed ships tell their own story: five Flycatchers, three Leshaks, two Curses, a Drifter Recon Battleship, a Buzzard, and a Paladin. That mix suggests the fight was not limited to tackle or light support, but involved meaningful escalation and the loss of expensive or strategically useful hulls. The presence of a Paladin and a Drifter Recon Battleship alongside cruisers and interceptors indicates a battle where both caution and ambition failed in equal measure.

WHY IT MATTERS

For Forgot to repair, the loss of the event's biggest prize is likely to be the headline outcome, but the wider cost was spread across several classes of ship and more than one organization. Zoo Landers and Vigilant Tyrannos, and others, also appear among the participants and losses, while Aunt Edna's Old Fashioned Fullerite Emporium emerges as the group linked to the finishing blow. In a wormhole system where every commitment is exposed by limited space and limited exit routes, a fight like this can quickly turn from control to catastrophe.

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.
