Dreadnought Roulette
The capital exchange opened with a cascade of explosions. Five dreadnoughts died in quick succession: a Naglfar, two Revelations, and a Phoenix all fell to Goonswarm fire, but the centerpiece was the loss of Fauux's Zirnitra, destroyed by Control the fate of Guardians of Tranquility for 6.2 billion ISK - the single most expensive kill of the battle. Minutes later, Goonswarm suffered three more capital losses of its own: a second Zirnitra and two Apostles. In all, eight capitals were destroyed, split as six dreadnoughts and two force auxiliaries, with Goonswarm losing two Zirnitras and both Apostles.
Subcapital Grind
Beneath the capital exchange, the battle was an industrial-scale grind of HACs, battleships, and interdictors. Goonswarm's fleet leaned on Ravens, Zealots, and Deimos; Fraternity and Guardians of Tranquility answered with Cerberuses, Tengus, and Thrashers. Dozens of Zealots and Cerberuses were destroyed, along with a steady stream of Sabres, Flycatchers, and other interdictors. The final-blow tally underlined Goonswarm's aggression: 267 kills credited to their pilots, against 92 for Fraternity and 54 for Guardians of Tranquility.
Structures and Haulers
The battlefield extended beyond combat ships. Two Metenox Moon Drills belonging to Guardians of Tranquility were destroyed during the fight, and a handful of blockade runners and deep space transports from both sides were caught in the crossfire. Northern Coalition and Pandemic Legion also made appearances on the grid; Northern Coalition's pilots were credited with six final blows while Pandemic Legion recorded none.
The Ibis That Wouldn't Quit
The strangest thread belonged to Page Saraki of Fraternity Auxiliary, who lost over a dozen Ibis corvettes during the later part of the battle. Each loss was trivial on its own, but the frequency became a spectacle - a tiny, persistent silhouette against a backdrop of dreadnoughts and HACs. The losses cost next to nothing, but they added a note of absurdity to an otherwise brutal capital brawl.
