Curse Lost in a Tight 1.4 Billion ISK Interception in System 31001113
A Curse was caught and destroyed in a fast, compact interception that drew seven pilots into the fight and ended with an expensive field clean-up. The cruiser’s loss, valued at 1.4 billion ISK, suggests a coordinated hunting force was able to pin down an independent target before escape was possible.
THE CATCH
The engagement in System 31001113 was brief, but the result was anything but minor. An independent Curse flown by Unidentified pilot 2114119256 was destroyed in a clash that appears to have been sprung on the move, with Unaligned attackers 99013513 bringing four attackers to bear against the target.
THE HUNTERS CLOSE IN
The hostile line was built around a Heretic, Loki, Flycatcher, and Sabre — a combination that suggests a deliberate attempt to control range and deny any clean exit. The final blow came from the Heretic, while the Loki and Flycatcher accounted for most of the damage. The Sabre’s presence points to the sort of tackle support that makes an escape attempt increasingly difficult once the net is already tightening.
THE CURSE BREAKS
The Curse did not go quietly. Its remains show a substantial amount of value either destroyed or recovered, with nanite repair paste among the items that dropped and a multispectrum shield hardener among the fittings lost. Even so, the engagement ended decisively in the hunters’ favor, and the cruiser was stripped of its ability to continue the fight.
WHY IT MATTERS
For a single ship loss, this was a costly one. The 1.4 billion ISK price tag makes the destruction memorable on its own, and the mix of tackle, interdiction, and damage dealers suggests a small but effective hunting group catching an exposed high-value target. In New Eden, that kind of short, efficient strike can be as telling as a larger battle: someone found the opening, closed it quickly, and left the Curse stranded when it mattered most.
