Barghest Cut Down in C-J6MT as Fraternity. Gang Lands the Catch
A 1.2 billion-ISK Barghest was brought down in C-J6MT after a 35-pilot fight tilted against Goonswarm Federation, with Fraternity. claiming the prize and finishing the job with a cruiser-sized tackle web around the target.
THE CATCH
The loss of Jeff Kali’s Barghest stands out immediately: a heavyweight missile platform, fitted and stocked for serious work, erased in a fight that appears to have developed into a focused hunt rather than a broad fleet exchange. The ship was destroyed in C-J6MT with little time to escape once the engagement closed in around it.
THE PRESSURE
Fraternity. accounted for the bulk of the damage, fielding multiple Exequror Navy Issues alongside a Confessor, while Northern Coalition. also appears among the attackers on the field. The final blow came from pingtouge666 in an Exequror Navy Issue, a reminder that even a battleship can be pinned down once lighter ships keep it under pressure long enough.
THE LOSSES
The Barghest itself represented almost the entire value of the engagement, with about 1.1 billion ISK destroyed and only 39.5 million ISK recovered. Its cargo tells the same story: hundreds and hundreds of faction heavy missiles and a substantial stock of nanite repair paste were lost with it, suggesting the ship was ready for extended operations when the trap closed.
WHY IT MATTERS
For Goonswarm Federation, losing a Barghest of this value is an expensive setback even in a localized clash. For Fraternity., the kill is the sort that rewards patience and coordination: a high-value target caught in a small but committed fight, stripped of options and finished before it could break away.
