Capsule Worth 1.2 Billion ISK Cut Down in Frerstorn
A capsule carrying 1.2 billion ISK in implants was caught and destroyed in Frerstorn, ending what appears to have been a very short and very expensive escape. The pilot, Phanuel of The Ravens' Nest and Andromeda., lost a body fitted with rare augmentations as PLAGA. closed in with a three-ship strike and delivered the finishing blow.
THE CATCH
The fight in Frerstorn was over almost as soon as it began, but the price of that brief encounter was enormous. Phanuel's capsule was destroyed in-system for a total loss of 1.2 billion ISK, with no indication that any meaningful escape was possible once PLAGA. made contact.
THE HUNT
Only six participants appear in the broader engagement, suggesting a small and deliberate interception rather than a standing battle. PLAGA. accounted for the attacking side, while The Ravens' Nest represented the loss. On the field, Mark Mistery in a Wolf delivered the final blow, with Reinor Alaine's Thrasher Fleet Issue and assasain's Sabre part of the attacking group that closed the net.
THE PRICE OF THE BODY
What made the destruction stand out was not the hull — there was none left to save — but the implants inside it. Zor's Custom Navigation Hyper-Link, Genolution Core Augmentation CA-3 and CA-4, and Eifyr and Co. 'Rogue' Navigation and Evasive Maneuvering enhancements were all destroyed with the pod, turning a routine capsule loss into a far costlier one.
THE CONSEQUENCE
A pod is only a sliver of a ship on paper, but in New Eden it can carry the value of an entire raid's worth of loot. In Frerstorn, PLAGA.'s small gang appears to have turned a fleeting opening into a major payoff, and the result leaves The Ravens' Nest with an expensive reminder of how quickly a confident travel fit can become a wreck marker.
