THE CATCH
The engagement was brief but decisive. In the wormhole system of J111249, Cutting Edge Labs and TIME CRIT collided in a small fight involving six participants, and the Bhaalgorn flown by Kssye was the ship that could not break away. The scale suggests a close-range interception rather than a drawn-out fleet action, with the target exposed long enough for the attackers to commit and finish the job.
THE FINISH
The final blow came from Tryglawbalancedbtw in a Naglfar Fleet Issue, with Kiszonka Stara of Unicorns from Hell also contributing major damage in a second Naglfar Fleet Issue. That kind of pressure from capital-class firepower left little room for recovery. Once the Bhaalgorn was pinned in J111249, the fight appears to have narrowed quickly to survival or destruction, and destruction won out.
THE LOSSES
The ship itself accounted for nearly all of the 1.3 billion ISK total, with roughly 1.2 billion ISK destroyed and only 146.6 million ISK recovered. Among the items lost to the wreckage were drone flights, scanner probes, and filament charges, but the real story is the hull: a Bhaalgorn is never a casual loss, and in this case it was stripped down under the guns of heavier predators.
THE CONSEQUENCE
For TIME CRIT, the destruction of Kssye’s Bhaalgorn is the sort of setback that stings long after the field goes quiet. For Cutting Edge Labs, it was a clean hunt with an expensive prize secured. In the tight confines of wormhole space, where every encounter can turn on a moment’s misjudgment, this looks like another reminder that even a dangerous pirate battleship can become prey when the trap closes first.
