90.5 Billion ISK Battle Ends in a Brutal Uemon Clash

A major fight in Uemon ended with 90.5 billion ISK in destruction after 453 pilots clashed over nearly an hour, leaving both Fraternity. and Goonswarm Federation with heavy losses. The engagement unfolded as a sprawling fleet action rather than a quick strike, with the wreckage spreading across a broad mix of battleships, marauders, and support hulls before the field finally went quiet.

THE OPENING SALVO

The fight began at 01:43 and ran until 02:41, a long and costly exchange that suggests neither side could disengage cleanly once contact was made. Fraternity. and Fraternity Auxiliary faced off against Goonswarm Federation and Deepwater Hooligans in a clash large enough to absorb hundreds of pilots on both sides, with the battle steadily accumulating losses instead of ending in a quick rout.

THE HEAVY HULLS FALL

The ship losses point to a fight built around expensive, hard-hitting hulls. Apocalypse Navy Issue battleships, Barghests, Ravens, Raven Navy Issues, and a Bifrost all appear among the notable wrecks, indicating that both fleets committed valuable ships and support alongside them. That mix suggests the engagement was not just about numbers, but about which side could keep its most capable ships alive under pressure.

THE BREAK

Goonswarm Federation and Deepwater Hooligans absorbed the larger share of the destruction, with losses totalling 47.4 billion ISK compared with 43 billion ISK for Fraternity. and Fraternity Auxiliary. The overall price tag of 90.5 billion ISK underscores how fiercely the two coalitions traded fire, and how little room there was for error once the fight settled into a sustained slugging match.

THE COST OF STAYING TOO LONG

The scale of the engagement and the spread of ship types suggest a confrontation that became too expensive to escape once it was underway. With 171 ships destroyed across 453 participants, Uemon now stands as a reminder that even a single major clash can burn through a regional reserve of hulls in under an hour. For both sides, the result is not just a ledger of losses, but a sharp reminder of how quickly a large fleet can turn into wreckage when the fighting closes in.

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.
