THE CATCH
The engagement in 5-IZGE was over almost as soon as it began. Against a backdrop of only two participants, the Dracarys. Alligator flown by Inkinen Tun Mabata was isolated and destroyed in a brief strike that suggests a tightly focused hunt rather than a wider fleet clash.
THE KILLING BLOW
The final blow came from an unknown attacker flying an Angel Dreadnought, a fittingly brutal end for a ship that clearly drew heavy fire. Damage records indicate the attacker did more than 112,000 points of damage, enough to close the trap decisively and leave the Alligator with nowhere to go.
THE LOSSES
The ship itself accounted for 1.4 billion ISK of the destruction, with only 35.2 million ISK in loot escaping the wreck. The remaining value was consumed in the kill, including large quantities of cruise missiles and ammunition that were either destroyed or scattered from the hold.
WHY IT MATTERS
For Dracarys., the loss of an Alligator is more than a routine ship loss. It is the destruction of a costly and specialised hull in a system where even a small ambush can become an expensive mistake, and the use of a dreadnought-class hull to deliver the final blow underlines how quickly a quiet encounter can turn lethal in New Eden.
