Death or Glory Kill a Game Master's 17.8B Vargur in 5E-CMA

The most expensive single loss in 5E-CMA was a Vargur worth 17.8B ISK, flown by GM Carbon of the Game Masters under the C C P Alliance banner. Kovap, of Death or Glory's Risky eXplosion, was credited with the final blow at 18:53. That wreck sat inside a 68-minute engagement in Wicked Creek whose records show 172 killmails and about 200B ISK destroyed, with one capital among the losses.

Retributions on One Side, Vargurs on the Other

The fight groups into two sides in the report. Death or Glory leads the first, with Bright Side of Death and Lunar Luminescence alongside, and their ships in the record lean on Retribution, Deacon and Crow. The second pairs C C P Alliance with ISD Alliance, whose recorded mix leans on Jaguar and Vargur. Neither list is a full roster of what flew. The totals also refuse to stay tidy: C C P Alliance is credited with 29 final blows while recording 47 losses, and ISD Alliance with 39 final blows against 33 losses, so both were giving and taking damage across the same window.

What Two Hundred Billion Actually Cost

Vargur losses alone account for 47.8B ISK in the recorded data, and GM Carbon's 17.8B was the largest of them. Two Ymirs added 21.2B between them, a Gaia 9.8B, and the only capital in the loss list, a Lif, 7.2B. Capsules, a scattering of frigates and interceptors and assorted fleet hardware made up much of the rest. Dallery Attery, of Death or Glory, stands as the top recorded damage contributor across the available killmails, the highest figure in the data rather than a claim about everything that flew in the system.

Everyone Paid for the Privilege

Death or Glory recorded 12 losses against 47 final blows, Lunar Luminescence 17 against 17, and the groups that lost the expensive hardware kept firing anyway. The timestamps run from 18:33 to 19:41, but that last killmail marks the end of the records, not a proven end to the shooting. Around 96 distinct pilot IDs appear in those killmails, a crowd that included a fair number of the people who write the game's rules, several of whom spent the hour losing ships like anyone else in local.
