Confessor Lost in 1I5-0V After Fraternity. Catch

A Confessor flown by Red Alliance’s Legeng Hero was destroyed in 1I5-0V after Fraternity. caught the ship in a small but expensive skirmish that left little room for escape. The loss was valued at 1.5 billion ISK, with most of the ship’s value reportedly dropping into the wreckage.

THE CATCH

The engagement in 1I5-0V appears to have turned on a clean interception rather than a drawn-out fight. Fraternity. fielded at least eleven attackers against the target, with the final blow landing from Catty Pangpang in an Exequror Navy Issue. Supporting damage came from Vedmaks and other Fraternity. ships, suggesting a coordinated hunt built to pin down and overwhelm the Confessor before it could break away.

THE LOSS

For Legeng Hero of Red Alliance and Space Weed Grove, the destruction of the Confessor was a costly one. The ship’s fittings point to a combat-ready fit, with Scorch S, Conflagration S, Sisters Core Scanner Probes, Nanite Repair Paste, and Navy Cap Booster 400 among the items involved. More than 1.3 billion ISK reportedly dropped from the wreck, while 244.6 million ISK was destroyed with the hull.

THE PRESSURE

The numbers suggest the target was not alone in the wider local picture. The report lists 20 participants overall, indicating a larger field than the final damage exchange alone might imply. One Insidious. pilot, Dahuilang YY in a Retribution, also appears in the combat record, though the main story remains the Fraternity. strike and the Confessor that could not survive it.

WHY IT MATTERS

A single Confessor loss may not shift a region, but the price tag makes this one hard to ignore. In EVE, an expensive destroyer dying to a focused gang is often enough to warn other hunters and roaming pilots that a system is being watched closely. In 1I5-0V, Fraternity. at least briefly controlled the terms of the encounter, and Red Alliance paid dearly for the mistake or bad timing that put Legeng Hero in reach.

Big Vantus Paid 15 Ships Toward Pochven's 72 Billion ISK Tab

Of the 47 ships destroyed in Ignebaener, 46 were, in ISK terms, background noise. The 47th was a Paladin valued at just under 57.5 billion ISK - close to four-fifths of everything the system destroyed in one sitting. One hull, one pilot, one very bad moment, and the number that will define this fight long after the killboards stop updating.

Brave Newbies Lost 21 Ships in 4-07MU and Shot Back With Interest

Somewhere around 19:25 UTC, a Caracal Navy Issue died in 4-07MU and 912 pilots decided that was a reasonable invitation. Two hours later the system had produced 200 wrecks, 67.2 billion ISK of damage, and not one capital ship - just battleship after battleship feeding itself into a fight that refused to end. The killboards call it a gank. The killboards are only half right.

Solyaris Chtonium Killed Redux.'s Avatar as 1,166 Pilots Watched

The last thing an Avatar expects to be doing is dying in lowsec, but Amamake has been ruining plans for a very long time. Redux.'s Amarr Titan - one of the largest and most expensive warships in New Eden - came apart in the Heimatar system with roughly 1,166 pilots involved in the kill, and a price tag of 142.7 billion ISK attached to a single loss.

Warlock Industries Alliance Lost 52 Billion ISK. It Wasn't Even a Capital.

Fifty-two point nine billion ISK, gone. One killmail. Eight hundred and forty-seven pilots on the record. Amamake has swallowed fleets, capitals, and more than a few alliances' sense of direction over the years. It has rarely swallowed 52.9 billion ISK in a single ship that was not even a capital. The victim was the Sarathiel, flying under the banner of Warlock Industries Alliance. The credited killer was Minmatar Fleet Associates. And every one of those 847 names belongs to the same kill.
