THE CATCH
The engagement in Alparena was a small one, but the ship at the centre of it was anything but ordinary. Jayarr Altol’s Cenotaph drew the kind of attention that follows a high-value target: a costly hull, expensive fitting choices, and enough firepower on the field to make any escape attempt precarious. The battle record suggests just six pilots were involved, with Bregandaerth on one side and Psychotic Tendencies. on the other.
THE BREAK
The damage landed quickly and decisively. Maurospanthiras, flying a Kronos for Bregandaerth, delivered the final blow after contributing the largest share of damage to the Cenotaph. The presence of Adrastos Graecus in a Gila also points to a compact but committed pursuit, one that was able to apply enough pressure to keep the target pinned long enough for the heavier ships to do their work.
THE LOSSES
By the time the smoke cleared, the Cenotaph was gone. Roughly 700.1 million ISK in value was destroyed with another 817.5 million ISK recovered or dropped from the wreck. Among the fittings and ammunition left behind were heavy stacks of Hail M, Barrage M, Republic Fleet Fusion M, Republic Fleet Titanium Sabot M, and Inferno Rage Heavy Assault Missiles, underscoring just how much combat power had been packed into the hull.
WHY IT MATTERS
For Psychotic Tendencies., the loss of a Cenotaph is a sharp and expensive setback, even in a skirmish this small. For Bregandaerth, it was a clean and profitable catch: the kind of result that shows how quickly a brief encounter in a quiet system can turn into a costly disaster for the wrong pilot at the wrong moment.
