One Shuttle, Then Everything Else
At 01:20 UTC, Holding 418 lost a Gallente Shuttle in J151838. It is the cheapest ship in the game's vocabulary - a rookie hull, a frigate's price tag, the thing you fly when there is nothing else on the hangar floor. It is also the first entry on a ledger that would eventually run to 79 wrecks and 559 billion ISK. Wormhole space explains the rest. J151838 has no stargates, no local chat to count heads, no station to dock at, and no cavalry coming over a hill. A connection in or out will only take so much mass before it collapses, and if it goes while you are on the wrong side, it does not matter what your ship cost. That is what makes capitals inside a wormhole a special kind of gamble: you commit them knowing the exit might simply stop existing. Around 438 pilots found a reason to be in J151838 anyway.
Nobody Brings a Dreadnought by Accident
The most expensive single loss of the fight was a Phoenix Navy Issue at 134 billion ISK - a faction dreadnought, one of the largest and most heavily armed hulls a pilot can reasonably expect to fly, and a number that would look respectable on a Titan killmail. It died in a wormhole, alongside three other capitals. No Titans or supercarriers appear anywhere in the record, which is one small mercy for everyone involved. The supporting cast is just as extravagant. A Nestor at 68.3 billion, a Marshal at 64.8 billion, a Leshak at 61.9 billion - faction battleships from the Sisters of EVE, CONCORD and the Triglavians, the sort of hulls that get fitted with modules worth more than the ship itself and then flown into the one part of space where nobody can see them die unless they choose to post the killmail. Across 79 losses and 559 billion ISK, the average wreck came to roughly 7 billion. That is not an average a fleet reaches by flying cheap ships. Whoever came to J151838 came dressed for an occasion.
The Ledger Refuses to Pick a Side
Now the awkward part. The record credits Diamond Dogs. with 34 kills, and it also records 34 losses for Diamond Dogs. The same organisation, the same number, sitting in both columns at once. Either that is a genuinely symmetrical brawl in which one group fought hard enough to break exactly even on its own ledger, or the fighting in J151838 was more tangled than a two-sided fleet fight usually is and the accounting has had to make sense of something messier. The evidence here does not settle the question, and it is worth not over-reading. The naming elsewhere does not help either. Outfit 418 appears on the attacking side with 14 kills. Holding 418 appears among the victims with 32 losses. Whether that is one organisation wearing two names, a holding corporation doing exactly what its name advertises, or two unrelated groups with an unfortunate coincidence, the report does not say. What it does say is that Diamond Dogs. was in the thick of it from first to last, on both ends of the guns.
Eighty-Seven Minutes and Four Capitals
The fight ran from 01:20 to 02:48 UTC - roughly 87 minutes of continuous losses, with four capitals among them. That is not the profile of a quick ambush. It is the shape of a brawl that keeps pulling new ships in: someone loses something expensive, someone else escalates, and the wormhole keeps admitting fresh hulls until the mass budget finally argues back. The last confirmed loss landed at 02:48 - a Bifrost flown by URSA PRIMUS. By then the attacking side had grown to include Shadow Legion X and Lethal Devotion alongside Outfit 418 and Diamond Dogs., while the victim list had picked up Blahajideen Freedom Fighters and Rattini Tribe. Three of the losses are credited to pilots flying under Pator Tech School, a starter corporation, which in wormhole space usually means either an alt or a genuinely brave newcomer. Either way, they were sharing a grid with billion-ISK faction battleships, and wormhole space does not check your résumé before it lets you in.
What the Hole Keeps
The report names Maya Resurrectus as the top damage dealer of the engagement. In a fight where the average wreck was worth 7 billion ISK and the largest was worth 134 billion, that is not a footnote - that is the pilot whose guns did the most to convert other people's hangars into statistics. No structures were destroyed. Nothing here was a siege or an eviction; this was ships killing ships, which is the version of wormhole warfare that comes with no objective marker and no timer. Just a connection, a decision, and 87 minutes to find out whether it was the right one. By 02:48 it was finished. J151838 holds no station, no market and no easy way out, and the wreckage stays where it fell until someone hauls it or it rots. Some 559 billion ISK is spread across 79 killmails and 438 pilots who will each remember the night slightly differently. For Diamond Dogs., the tally reads 34 and 34 - a night's work that broke dead even on paper and almost certainly did not feel that way in the hangar.
