A Structure Under Fire

The fight centred on an Astrahus owned by Cybertrash. C A M E L O T fielded a battleship-heavy fleet built around Apocalypse Navy Issues and Tempest Fleet Issues, supported by Damnation command ships. LowSechnaya Sholupen, White Sky., and Snuffed Out answered with their own Apocalypse and Apocalypse Navy Issue formations. Both sides threw heavy hulls into the fight around the structure.

Battleship Doctrines Collide

C A M E L O T leaned on Apocalypse Navy Issues, while the opposing side brought a mix of standard Apocalypses and Navy Issues. The opening minutes saw a string of battleship losses, with White Sky. and LowSechnaya Sholupen losing multiple hulls in quick succession. C A M E L O T lost only a single Tempest in the early fighting, while its pilots landed kill after kill. Both sides continued to lose ships around the structure.

The Astrahus Falls

As the battleship exchange raged, the Astrahus came apart. Astropontik of C A M E L O T landed the final blow on the structure, which was valued at 1.6B ISK. Cybertrash lost not only the Astrahus but a string of warships in the same exchange. The structure kill was the most expensive individual loss of the battle, though it was far from the only casualty.
