97.8B ISK Clash in J113701 Ends in Heavy Capital-Grade Losses
A prolonged fight in J113701 has ended with 94 ships destroyed and 97.8 billion ISK wiped from the field, leaving Mercenaires Sans Frontieres. and 7.62, and others with the far larger bill. The engagement stretched across many hours and appears to have drawn in 129 pilots, with both sides trading serious losses as the battle developed into a large-scale clash rather than a quick strike.
THE LONG FIGHT
What began in J113701 turned into a drawn-out confrontation that did not resolve quickly. The battle opened at 21:00 and ran until well into the next day, suggesting a contest of patience as much as firepower. By the time the smoke cleared, the field had been littered with a wide mix of hulls, from battlecruisers and cruisers to heavier support ships.
THE HEAVIEST LOSSES
The most expensive destruction fell on Mercenaires Sans Frontieres. and 7.62, and others, who appear to have absorbed the overwhelming share of the damage bill at 92.9 billion ISK. Among the wreckage were two Absolution command ships, a Tempest Fleet Issue, a Sabre, a Pilgrim, and a Nestor, a composition that suggests the fight reached beyond simple skirmishing and into the realm of committed fleet assets.
THE PRESSURE BUILDS
L A Z E R H A W K S and Rainbow Knights, and others were also bloodied, but their losses were much lighter by comparison at just under 5 billion ISK. Their presence, alongside support from Singularity Syndicate, Express Trade Inc., and Mass Terran Industries, points to a coordinated group effort that helped keep the pressure on while the opposing side paid the higher price in ships and fittings.
THE COST OF HOLDING THE FIELD
With 129 participants and nearly 100 billion ISK removed from the grid, the engagement in J113701 stands out as a major regional fight rather than a routine roam. Even without a single obvious centerpiece beyond the scale of the losses, the battle clearly carried consequence: command ships and heavier hulls were committed, and the outcome left one side far more damaged than the other.
