99.4B ISK Battle Ends in a Costly Collapse in 2ID-87

A prolonged clash in 2ID-87 ended with a 99.4 billion ISK wrecking, as 294 pilots across multiple groups were drawn into a fight that left 225 ships destroyed before the guns finally fell silent. The heaviest losses landed on HOLD MY PROBS and Legion of xXDEATHXx, whose side absorbed the bulk of the damage in a battle that spiralled well beyond a routine regional skirmish.

THE ESCALATION

What began as a fight in 2ID-87 quickly grew into a major engagement. The battle stretched across much of 19 June and into the next day, suggesting that neither side was able to secure a clean break once the shooting started. Two loose coalitions appear to have formed the core of the clash: Brotherhood of Spacers and xqtywiznalamywmodxfhhopawzpqyjdwrpeptuaenabjawdzku, alongside others, on one side, and HOLD MY PROBS with Legion of xXDEATHXx and additional support on the other.

THE FORCE COMMITTED

The ship losses hint at a mixed and fairly dangerous field. Apocalypse Navy Issue and Nightmare losses stand out as the most notable hulls destroyed, with Oneiros support ships, Typhoons, Scorpions, and even a Slasher among the wreckage. That spread suggests a fight that pulled in both heavy damage dealers and the logistics and tackle needed to keep a large engagement moving, rather than a brief exchange between small roaming gangs.

THE BREAK

By the end of the engagement, the side tied to HOLD MY PROBS and Legion of xXDEATHXx had taken the overwhelming share of the damage. Their losses totalled just over 91 billion ISK, compared with a little more than 8.3 billion ISK attributed to the opposing group. The final destruction was credited to WarBeacon, but the scale of the result points to a fight that likely turned on control of the field and the inability of one force to recover once it was pinned down.

THE LOSSES

In total, the battle removed 225 ships from the grid and erased 99.4 billion ISK in assets. That kind of damage can reshape local momentum even without a named strategic objective attached, especially when expensive hulls like the Apocalypse Navy Issue and Nightmare are among the losses. For the pilots involved, 2ID-87 will be remembered less as a brawl than as a long, grinding confrontation that ended with one side paying dearly for staying in the field too long.

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.
