Deepwater Hooligans Turn X1W-AL Into a Typhoon Graveyard

The battle in X1W-AL saw a fleet built around Typhoon Fleet Issues run headlong into a Deepwater Hooligans force fielding Machariels, Leshaks, and Moros Navy Issue dreadnoughts. The exchange was brutally one-sided: 114 losses were suffered at a combined value of 55B ISK, and many of the wrecks were Typhoon hulls, with losses from Brotherhood of Spacers and UA Fleets Holding among them.

The Fleets Take Shape

Brotherhood of Spacers and UA Fleets Holding fielded dozens of Typhoon Fleet Issues, supported by Typhoons and Heretic interdictors. Across from them, Deepwater Hooligans brought Machariels, Leshaks, and Moros Navy Issue dreadnoughts. Early losses were modest interceptors and battleships, but as the engagement developed, the system turned into a shooting gallery for Deepwater gunners.

The Typhoons Fall in Waves

Once the main clash began, Typhoon Fleet Issues died in quick succession. Losses stacked heavily on Brotherhood of Spacers and UA Fleets Holding, whose Typhoon Fleet Issues were destroyed one after another. Deepwater Hooligans suffered only seven losses in the exchange.

More Than Ships

The destruction was not limited to hulls. UA Fleets Holding also lost a Tenebrex Cyno Jammer and a pair of Standup modules as the fighting tore through the system's infrastructure. Mobile Cynosural Inhibitors were also among the wrecks, marking the engagement as one that reached beyond simple ship-to-ship combat.

The Expensive Exception

For all the damage done by Deepwater Hooligans, the single most expensive loss of the battle belonged to them. Dani Lizardov's Vindicator, a 2.8B ISK battleship, was destroyed by xHAPK0MAHx of UA Fleets Holding. That kill stood out among the cheaper Typhoon wrecks and gave the side that absorbed the most punishment one bright spot.

The Malpais Front Widens Without Moving a Point

Across three observations spanning roughly 187 hours, the contested footprint in Malpais grew from one system to two, while the contest score stayed frozen at 40 for the attackers and 60 for the defenders. The systems 9F-ERQ, W-XY4J, and N6NK-J have appeared over the course of the campaign; the most recent board shows N6NK-J and W-XY4J. Itty Bitty Asteroid Committee and UA Fleets Holding are the two defending groups, and neither has lost a system.

A Stalemate in Malpais: Itty Bitty Asteroid Committee Holds the Line at 40–60

In the low-intensity backwater of Malpais, the Itty Bitty Asteroid Committee has spent 131 hours defending a single system, and the contest has all the urgency of a station docking queue. As of the latest observation, the contested tag is W-XY4J, with the attacker pinned at 40 and the defender at 60. Across roughly 124 hours of tracking, the contested footprint held steady at one system, and the score and sovereignty status have not changed. If this is a war, it is being fought at the speed of bureaucracy.
