THE CATCH
The fight in Auga was over almost as soon as it began, but the outcome was costly. A Ghostbirds Draugur flown by Nosduh Adidas was caught and destroyed in a six-pilot engagement that suggests a brief, close-range interception rather than a drawn-out brawl. For a ship of that class, the loss is a sharp reminder that even highly mobile hulls can become vulnerable when a hunt closes cleanly.
THE BREAK
Three attackers from Loot Kings of Assah were involved in the destruction, with additional damage coming from an unaligned pilot in a Keeper Hurricane and cursedlion of The Tuskers Co. in an Exequror Navy Issue. The final blow came from NON-STOP AGRESSION’s Praxis, which sealed the kill after the target had already been worn down. The damage pattern suggests the Draugur was pressured from multiple angles before it could escape the net.
THE LOSSES
The ship itself accounted for the bulk of the damage, with 1.1 billion ISK destroyed and a further 594.7 million ISK dropped. Among the cargo and fittings were large stores of ammo and combat charges, including Mystic S, Meson Exotic Plasma S, Tetryon Exotic Plasma S, Occult S, and Evasive Maneuvers Charge. That mix points to a heavily committed combat fit, and its loss will have landed hard on Ghostbirds and Mercury Arms Inc.
WHY IT MATTERS
Single-ship losses of this size rarely vanish into the background in New Eden. The Draugur’s destruction in Auga adds another expensive entry to the ledger and shows how quickly a roaming group can turn a moment of exposure into a significant prize. For Loot Kings of Assah, it was a clean and valuable catch; for the victim, it was an abrupt and expensive end to a ship that appears to have been carrying enough firepower to make its loss memorable.
