Amamake Becomes the Stage for a 223-Pilot Bloodbath

Amamake saw a prolonged and costly clash that left 203 ships destroyed and 27.5 billion ISK in wreckage scattered across the field. The fight drew 223 pilots and split into a violent exchange between Slide On Contact and Minmatar Fleet Alliance, and others, and OnlyFleets. and Sedition., and others, with smaller contributions from S.N.O.T. and Kinetic Diplomacy. When the smoke cleared, the larger share of the damage had landed on Slide On Contact and Minmatar Fleet Alliance, and others, but both sides paid heavily for control of the system.

THE LONG FIGHT

The engagement in Amamake stretched from 2026-05-29T20:01:44.000Z into the early hours of the following day, suggesting a fight that built, broke, and renewed itself over several hours rather than ending in a single strike. With 223 participants on the field, this was large enough to turn the system into a grinding contest of pressure and survival. The scale of the losses points to a battle where neither side gave ground cheaply.

THE MAIN EXCHANGE

Slide On Contact and Minmatar Fleet Alliance, and others accounted for the largest share of destruction, losing ships and assets worth just over 19.2 billion ISK. OnlyFleets. and Sedition., and others were not far behind at a little more than 8.0 billion ISK, making this a costly confrontation for both camps. Even the smaller groups involved felt the impact: S.N.O.T. lost nearly 184 million ISK, while Kinetic Diplomacy took a comparatively lighter hit of about 20 million ISK.

THE SHIPS LOST

The wreckage tells the story of a fleet fight that reached into familiar frontline hulls. Typhoons led the listed losses, followed by Abaddons and Apocalypses, with Exequror Navy Issues, Guardians, and Punishers also among the destroyed ships. That mix suggests a battle that touched both heavy combat ships and the logistics backbone needed to keep them alive, a sign that the fight was not just about damage but about breaking the ability to hold together under fire.

WHAT AMAMAKE MEANS

For a system already known to attract conflict, a battle of this size in Amamake reinforces its reputation as a place where fleets can be pulled into expensive, dragging engagements. The final blow is credited in the report to WarBeacon, with the data recording the event as a complete destruction of 27.5 billion ISK in assets. However the fight began, it ended as a decisive and expensive reminder that in Amamake, even a long evening can turn into a very costly one.

Big Vantus Paid 15 Ships Toward Pochven's 72 Billion ISK Tab

Of the 47 ships destroyed in Ignebaener, 46 were, in ISK terms, background noise. The 47th was a Paladin valued at just under 57.5 billion ISK - close to four-fifths of everything the system destroyed in one sitting. One hull, one pilot, one very bad moment, and the number that will define this fight long after the killboards stop updating.

Brave Newbies Lost 21 Ships in 4-07MU and Shot Back With Interest

Somewhere around 19:25 UTC, a Caracal Navy Issue died in 4-07MU and 912 pilots decided that was a reasonable invitation. Two hours later the system had produced 200 wrecks, 67.2 billion ISK of damage, and not one capital ship - just battleship after battleship feeding itself into a fight that refused to end. The killboards call it a gank. The killboards are only half right.

The last thing an Avatar expects to be doing is dying in lowsec, but Amamake has been ruining plans for a very long time. Redux.'s Amarr Titan - one of the largest and most expensive warships in New Eden - came apart in the Heimatar system with roughly 1,166 pilots involved in the kill, and a price tag of 142.7 billion ISK attached to a single loss.

Warlock Industries Alliance Lost 52 Billion ISK. It Wasn't Even a Capital.

Fifty-two point nine billion ISK, gone. One killmail. Eight hundred and forty-seven pilots on the record. Amamake has swallowed fleets, capitals, and more than a few alliances' sense of direction over the years. It has rarely swallowed 52.9 billion ISK in a single ship that was not even a capital. The victim was the Sarathiel, flying under the banner of Warlock Industries Alliance. The credited killer was Minmatar Fleet Associates. And every one of those 847 names belongs to the same kill.
