Apocalypse Navy Issue Cut Down in a Brief B-S347 Skirmish
A costly 1.9 billion ISK Apocalypse Navy Issue was destroyed in B-S347 during a very short exchange that left only a small body count but a heavy bill. The ship, flown by MrPofigist of Goonswarm Federation’s SovNarKom. corporation, was finished off by GhosT T, who also flew an Apocalypse Navy Issue, in a fight that appears to have turned quickly and decisively.
THE CATCH
The engagement in B-S347 lasted less than a minute, but the result was severe enough to register well beyond the system. Four participants were involved in the clash, with both sides drawn from Goonswarm Federation, suggesting a fight that may have been internal, accidental, or at least very tightly contained. Whatever the circumstances, the target was exposed long enough for the trap to close.
THE LOSS
MrPofigist’s Apocalypse Navy Issue was not a lightly fitted ship. Among the wreckage were four Berserker II drones, a Capacitor Power Relay II, a Large Capacitor Control Circuit I, and a Republic Fleet Large Proton Smartbomb, all pointing to a battleship built for real combat rather than convenience. Roughly 1.1 billion ISK was destroyed outright, while 852.9 million ISK in fittings and cargo appears to have been recovered from the wreckage.
THE FINAL BLOW
GhosT T landed the final blow in another Apocalypse Navy Issue, giving the kill a grim symmetry. An additional attacker in a Gist Seraphim also appears to have contributed damage, suggesting the target was not merely isolated but pressured from more than one angle before it went down. The attacking side put up 29,114 damage on the victim, enough to break whatever defenses remained before the ship could escape.
WHY IT MATTERS
Even in a small engagement, a 3.8 billion ISK outcome is the sort of loss that lingers. Ships of this class are not meant to disappear in moments, especially not in a fight involving only four pilots. In B-S347, a single battleship loss turned a brief skirmish into an expensive reminder that in New Eden, even familiar hulls can become trophies when the timing is wrong.
