Curse Cut Down in Wormhole Ambush by Tornado Trio
A 1.1 billion ISK Curse was brought down in J154726 when a small New House of Flanders strike team caught the cruiser and finished it under Tornado fire. The loss left little room for escape, with the target destroyed in a fast, concentrated engagement that turned a 457.5 million ISK wreck into a sharp reminder of how quickly a valuable ship can disappear in wormhole space.
THE CATCH
The fight in J154726 was brief and decisive. According to the available data, three pilots from New House of Flanders applied the pressure that ended with the destruction of UTILIZER-cap’s Curse, a heavy assault cruiser flown for Estamos Solos Alliance. In a system where movement is always uncertain and support can be limited, the ship appears to have been isolated quickly enough for the attackers to dictate the terms of the encounter.
THE TORNADO VOLLEY
The final blow came from KorolevDed in a Tornado, with HE BOUGHT DUMPIT and Reys Bayron also contributing damage in matching battlecruisers. That kind of synchronized artillery strike suggests a deliberate catch rather than a messy brawl: enough firepower to break a prized cruiser before it could drag the fight out or find a route clear. The Curse did not survive long enough to turn its electronics and mobility into an answer.
THE LOSSES
The ship’s wreckage tells the rest of the story. Of the 1.1 billion ISK total value tied to the destruction, 457.5 million ISK was eliminated outright and 596 million ISK dropped into space. Among the destroyed fittings were drones, nanite repair paste, and a missile range disruption script, reinforcing the sense of a combat-ready vessel caught in the wrong place at the wrong time. With only six participants recorded around the engagement, this was a compact but very expensive exchange.
WHY IT MATTERS
For New House of Flanders, the kill represents a clean and costly prize claimed with a small team. For the victim, it is the kind of loss that lingers: a fitted Curse removed in an instant, with the engagement hinging on timing, exposure, and the ability of attackers to land decisive damage before the target could slip away. In wormhole space, that margin is often all that stands between a successful run and a wreck left behind in silence.
