Deluge Destroyed in EOA-ZC After Two-Ship Trap Closes Fast
A 1.9 billion ISK Deluge was caught and destroyed in EOA-ZC after a tiny hunting pair turned the tables on a Fraternity pilot who appears to have been far from safety. The loss was mostly total, with 1.8 billion ISK destroyed and only 98.1 million ISK recovered, leaving the heavy ship to burn out under pressure from a Proteus and a Flycatcher.
THE CATCH
The engagement was over almost as soon as it began. In EOA-ZC, blankbling of Fraternity. lost a Deluge worth 1.9 billion ISK to a compact attack by Twenty Thousand Leagues Out of the SEA., with assistance from Out of the Blue. The fight involved just six participants in total, but the loss was anything but small: the Deluge was reduced to wreckage in a single, decisive catch.
THE PRESSURE
The attackers fielded only two ships at the point of the kill, but the combination was enough to pin the target down. Gachi Aniki’s Flycatcher did the bulk of the damage, while Nickgenerator’s Proteus secured the final blow. That pairing suggests a fast-moving interception rather than a drawn-out exchange, with the heavier hull committed only after the target had already been forced into a losing position.
THE LOSSES
What makes the destruction sting is how little of the ship and its fittings survived. Along with the Deluge itself, cargo and equipment were heavily reduced, including Magmatic Gas, Nanite Repair Paste, and two Metenox Moon Drills. A Small Remote Armor Repairer II was among the few items that appeared to make it out, but the overall outcome leaves the impression of a ship caught with too much value exposed and too little room to escape.
WHY IT MATTERS
A Deluge is not the sort of vessel that disappears quietly. Even in a small engagement, the destruction of a ship worth nearly 2 billion ISK stands out, especially when the fight is resolved by a handful of pilots in a single system. For Fraternity., the loss is a costly reminder that even a brief lapse can end in disaster; for the attackers, it was a clean prize taken with minimal commitment.
