Fortizar Falls in H-29TM as Star Frontiers Close the Net

A Fortizar in H-29TM was destroyed in a sharp, costly strike that drew 79 pilots into the fight and ended with Star Frontiers claiming an 18.7 billion ISK prize. The structure, owned by (Greenskin Holding), was finished off by Tim Alland flying an Apocalypse Navy Issue, turning a single loss into the clear centrepiece of the engagement.

THE TARGET

The destroyed Fortizar stood out immediately for its scale and value. In New Eden, structures of that class are never casual losses, and this one appears to have become the focus of a concentrated attack rather than a passing skirmish. With 79 participants involved, the engagement suggests a determined effort to bring the target down before support could change the balance.

THE CLOSING MOMENT

Star Frontiers are listed as the attacking organization, and the final blow came from Tim Alland in an Apocalypse Navy Issue. That detail suggests the fight had already been reduced to its decisive endgame by the time the structure finally broke. Once a Fortizar is exposed, every volley matters, and this one ended with no room left for recovery.

THE LOSS

What was destroyed was not a disposable asset but an 18.7 billion ISK anchor point, and the price alone makes the outcome hard to ignore. Even without a full breakdown of the surrounding ships and support, the scale of the fight points to a serious commitment of force. For (Greenskin Holding), the loss of a Fortizar is more than a wreck on the field; it is the loss of a significant foothold.

WHY IT MATTERS

The destruction of a Fortizar in H-29TM marks a meaningful shift in control, or at least in pressure, around the system. Even when the broader strategic picture remains unclear, a kill of this size signals that someone was willing to escalate and stay on grid until the structure fell. In practical terms, that makes the wreckage as important as the fight itself.

Scan Stakan Killed 55 Ships and Lost 186 in the Same Fight

E-WMT7 produced 376 killmails, somewhere around 134 billion ISK of wreckage, and one battleship worth more than a force auxiliary, a Nestor and a Typhoon Fleet Issue put together. The number that stings harder is 186. That is how many ships Scan Stakan lost in the same engagement in which they killed 55 - top of the kill list and top of the loss list, in a single three-and-a-half-hour afternoon.

x Never Regret x Takes 40 Kills as Raa Burns 26 Capitals

At 17:28 UTC, a Retriever died in Raa. Retrievers die constantly, and in Devoid that is more or less the job description. This one is only worth mentioning because of what followed it: for the next hundred minutes, a system on the edge of Amarr space turned into a scrapyard, and by the time the last shot landed at 19:10, 87 ships had been destroyed and the bill had reached 157.4 billion ISK. Almost half of that was one Revelation.

Rattini Tribe and Prime Directive. Split Dal's 192 Billion ISK Bill

An Amarr Shuttle belonging to G0lden Fleet. died in Dal at 16:15 UTC. That is not normally the opening line of a 192 billion ISK story, but Dal spent the next three hours and forty-one minutes making sure nobody forgot it. By the time the last capsule in the system - belonging to x Never Regret x - came apart at 19:56, 557 pilots had produced 516 confirmed losses, fourteen capital ships had been wrecked, and the Heimatar system had eaten just over 192 billion ISK. That is not a skirmish somebody stumbled into. That is a decision, made over and over, for the better part of four hours.

Brave Newbies Topped Both Sides of the HY-RWO Ledger

The first ship to die in HY-RWO was a Rokh worth 44.7 billion ISK, and it set the tone for everything that came after. Over the following hour, 1,883 pilots fought in the Catch system, 243 ships were destroyed, and around 205 billion ISK was removed from the economy one killmail at a time. Not a single capital ship died. In a fight of that size, the most expensive losses were ordinary battleships, fitted in a way that makes the word 'ordinary' sound absurd.
