Barghest Lost in a Swift 2-6TGQ Ambush
A lone Barghest worth 1.3 billion ISK was caught and destroyed in 2-6TGQ, ending what appears to have been a very brief engagement with an expensive result. The battleship, flown by Yalla-Habibi of Forgot to repair, fell to a single attacker identified only as an unknown pilot in a Seven Assassin, leaving behind a wreck heavy with torpedoes and a costly reminder of how quickly a powerful ship can be isolated.
THE CATCH
The fight in 2-6TGQ was over almost as soon as it began. Only two pilots were recorded in the encounter, suggesting a tight interception rather than a fleet clash, and the outcome was decisive: a Barghest was destroyed while the opposing side suffered no loss. For the pilot of a ship built to project force, the mistake was simply being caught in the wrong moment by the wrong eyes.
THE PRIZE
The destroyed Barghest carried the kind of inventory that underlines how prepared it was for trouble. Caldari Navy, Rage, and Javelin torpedoes were all aboard in large numbers, with some ammunition destroyed outright and other stocks spilling into space. The mix points to a battleship ready for serious work, not a casual patrol, which only deepens the sting of losing both the hull and its loaded weapons in one blow.
THE BREAK
The final blow was credited to an unknown attacker flying a Seven Assassin, who dealt the damage needed to finish the ship. With 56,236 damage recorded on the decisive strike, the assault appears to have been compact and efficient rather than drawn out. That brevity is part of the story here: a heavy ship, valuable ammunition, and a lone hunter or interceptor presence were enough to turn a costly vessel into debris before help could matter.
THE COST
At 1.3 billion ISK, the loss is significant on its own, and the split between destroyed and dropped value suggests much of the fittings and cargo vanished with the wreck. For Forgot to repair, the incident is memorable less for its scale than for its precision — a single ship, one attacker, and no room for recovery. In New Eden, that is often all it takes for a bad moment to become an expensive headline.
