THE CATCH
The action in 2PG-KN was over almost as quickly as it began. In a fight that lasted only from 09:39:35 to 09:39:50 UTC, a Praxis flown by Miniers of Brave Collective was destroyed after taking concentrated fire from a small group that included three Brave pilots in identical Praxis hulls. The final blow came from Deefour Three, who closed the matter on a ship that had already been battered by sustained damage.
THE PRICE OF THE HULL
The destroyed Praxis carried the kind of fittings that make any loss sting. Among the wreckage were Republic Fleet Valkyrie drones, a Domination Large Proton Smartbomb, a Republic Fleet Large Cap Battery, and a Capacitor Power Relay II — the sort of upgrades that push a battlecruiser well beyond ordinary combat value. Of the 1.6 billion ISK tied up in the ship, 961.8 million ISK was destroyed and 630.9 million ISK dropped into space.
THE SHIP’S OWN SIDE
What makes the loss stand out is the composition around it. All named combatants tied to the engagement were from Brave Collective, with the attacker and victim records both pointing back to the same alliance and even the same corporation, Brave Newbies Inc. That suggests this was not a conventional border ambush, but a tightly contained incident inside the alliance’s own ranks, where the line between ally and target appears to have vanished in an instant.
THE DAMAGE DONE
Five participants were recorded in the encounter, and four of the attackers were fielding Praxes of their own, with an additional Gist Seraphim contributing a smaller amount of damage. The result was a 3.2 billion ISK total event centered on two Praxis losses, but it is the first destruction that tells the story: a valuable, heavily fitted ship caught in a brief and decisive exchange, with no time for a careful withdrawal once the fight turned against it.
