Astrahus and Raitaru Fall in a 5.2B ISK Hole-System Strike
A coordinated force of 62 pilots tore through a wormhole in J164507 and left two structures burning behind them, including an Astrahus worth 3.3 billion ISK. The fight ran for just over 16 minutes, but the attackers — flying under the CBOPA KOTOB banners — appear to have found enough momentum to break both targets before WarpToo Zero Holdings could hold the field.
THE BREAK
The engagement opened in the closed confines of J164507, where the attackers arrived with a clear numerical edge and a fleet built around Drekavacs. What followed was not a sprawling wormhole brawl, but a focused demolition job: 62 participants, 5.2 billion ISK in total losses, and two industrial assets reduced to wreckage. The scale suggests a deliberate strike rather than a passing skirmish.
THE ASTRAHUS GOES UP IN FLAMES
The larger prize was the Astrahus, destroyed for a total value of 3.3 billion ISK. According to the available data, X7G400 landed the final blow in a Drekavac, after attackers from both CBOPA KOTOB OT COBETOB B KOCMOCE and CBOPA KOTOB B KOCMOCE worked the target down. The structure had been stocked with fuel blocks and launcher ammunition, much of it either destroyed in the blast or scattered in the aftermath, turning the kill into a painful loss of assets as well as hull.
A SECOND STRUCTURE FOLLOWS
WarpToo Zero Holdings did not escape the first loss by much. A Raitaru was also destroyed in the same engagement, reinforcing the sense that the attackers were not content with a single trophy. In wormhole space, where every structure represents logistics, staging, and persistence, the collapse of both citadels likely carries consequences well beyond the ISK value attached to them.
THE COST OF THE CATCH
The attack leaves CBOPA KOTOB’s forces with a visible result and WarpToo Zero Holdings with a damaged foothold in J164507. Even without a broader strategic picture, the destruction of two structures in one short window is enough to mark the operation as a sharp and costly hit. For the defenders, the problem is not only the loss of hulls, but the loss of the space and confidence those hulls were meant to secure.
