Astrahus Falls to Bully Brigade Guns in Scheenins

A Bully Brigade strike group brought down an Astrahus in Scheenins in a fast, brutal exchange that left 3.1 billion ISK in wreckage. The citadel was caught facing three attackers, with the final blow delivered by a Kronos as the structure’s defenses and fittings were stripped away.

THE CATCH

The fight was over almost as soon as it began. In Scheenins, an Astrahus belonging to Arata Corp. was destroyed in an engagement that appears to have been tightly focused and sharply executed. Only five pilots are listed around the action, suggesting a small but decisive encounter rather than a sprawling brawl.

THE ASSAULT

Bully Brigade brought at least three ships to bear, led by two Kronos marauders and supported by a Talos. Follow Gunner in a Kronos secured the final blow, while Leshako Duoo’s Kronos accounted for the larger share of the damage. The composition suggests a deliberate effort to punch through the structure’s durability quickly and leave little room for a response.

THE COLLAPSE

The Astrahus did not go quietly. Its fittings and defensive systems were caught in the wreckage, including missile and weapon modules associated with the citadel’s standup armament. A quantity of Standup Cruise Missiles dropped, while other platform components were destroyed in the fall, underlining that this was not just a ship loss but the ruin of a deployed asset.

THE COST

The destruction came to 3.1 billion ISK, with 2.3 billion ISK listed as destroyed and a further 816.4 million ISK recovered from the debris. For Arata Corp., the loss of an Astrahus in such a brief engagement may signal a significant setback, while Bully Brigade can count a clean and expensive prize in one of lowsec’s quieter corners.

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.

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.
