The Capital at the Center

The Rorqual did not die quietly. Dozens of ships piled onto the industrial capital, and Jaqueline Zartz landed the final blow. The 7.5B ISK loss was the only capital destruction in the fight, and it gave the engagement a sharper edge.

A Clash of Doctrines

The Initiative brought a fast, flexible doctrine: Vedmak cruisers, Scimitar logistics, and Coercer Navy Issue destroyers. Fraternity answered with heavier metal, fielding Muninn heavy assault cruisers and Raven battleships with Vigil frigates in support. The exchange ground through both sides. Fraternity lost Muninns, a Broadsword, a Dominix, and a Flycatcher, while The Initiative saw Vedmaks and several Scimitars destroyed.

The Cost in Hulls

For every expensive loss, there were a dozen smaller ones. Fraternity's Muninns and support ships traded with The Initiative's Vedmaks and logistics wing as the engagement unfolded. The fight was short, but it produced a steady exchange of hulls.
