Fortizar Falls in Heavy Wormhole Assault

A Fortizar worth 21.7 billion ISK was destroyed in J105632 after a 163-strong force from always blob closed in on the structure and finished the job with a Legion on the final blow. In wormhole space, where every asset has to be committed without guarantee of relief, the loss of a citadel of that size is a sharp reminder of how exposed even major installations can be when the hunters arrive in force.

THE CATCH

The engagement in J105632 appears to have centred on a single, high-value target: a Fortizar belonging to (Ofcksgiven). With 163 participants involved, this was no small raid or opportunistic tackle, but a large and deliberate assault that left the structure with nowhere easy to run and nowhere obvious to hide.

THE ASSAULT

always blob carried the attack, and the numbers suggest the Fortizar was under sustained pressure rather than a brief strike. The final blow came from a Legion flown by a pilot identified as aIlIllIllIIways blob, bringing the structure down after the attackers had already committed enough force to make escape or relief unlikely.

THE COST

The destroyed asset alone accounts for 21.7 billion ISK in losses, a figure that makes the wreckage more than routine structure damage. A Fortizar is not something a group places casually, and losing one in a single fight can mean a serious setback in logistics, staging, or local presence, especially in wormhole space where replacement is never just a matter of moving pieces on a map.

THE SIGNIFICANCE

For always blob, the kill is a clear demonstration of force; for (Ofcksgiven), it is an expensive reminder that static infrastructure can become a liability when the wrong fleet finds it. The fight in J105632 stands as a decisive, high-cost structure loss rather than a drawn-out campaign, but the price tag alone ensures it will be remembered.

Big Vantus Paid 15 Ships Toward Pochven's 72 Billion ISK Tab

Of the 47 ships destroyed in Ignebaener, 46 were, in ISK terms, background noise. The 47th was a Paladin valued at just under 57.5 billion ISK - close to four-fifths of everything the system destroyed in one sitting. One hull, one pilot, one very bad moment, and the number that will define this fight long after the killboards stop updating.

Brave Newbies Lost 21 Ships in 4-07MU and Shot Back With Interest

Somewhere around 19:25 UTC, a Caracal Navy Issue died in 4-07MU and 912 pilots decided that was a reasonable invitation. Two hours later the system had produced 200 wrecks, 67.2 billion ISK of damage, and not one capital ship - just battleship after battleship feeding itself into a fight that refused to end. The killboards call it a gank. The killboards are only half right.

Solyaris Chtonium Killed Redux.'s Avatar as 1,166 Pilots Watched

The last thing an Avatar expects to be doing is dying in lowsec, but Amamake has been ruining plans for a very long time. Redux.'s Amarr Titan - one of the largest and most expensive warships in New Eden - came apart in the Heimatar system with roughly 1,166 pilots involved in the kill, and a price tag of 142.7 billion ISK attached to a single loss.

Warlock Industries Alliance Lost 52 Billion ISK. It Wasn't Even a Capital.

Fifty-two point nine billion ISK, gone. One killmail. Eight hundred and forty-seven pilots on the record. Amamake has swallowed fleets, capitals, and more than a few alliances' sense of direction over the years. It has rarely swallowed 52.9 billion ISK in a single ship that was not even a capital. The victim was the Sarathiel, flying under the banner of Warlock Industries Alliance. The credited killer was Minmatar Fleet Associates. And every one of those 847 names belongs to the same kill.
