Fortizar Falls in J213344 as URSA PRIMUS Claims a 22B ISK Prize

A Fortizar belonging to (Far Deploy) was destroyed in J213344 after URSA PRIMUS brought 36 pilots to bear on the structure. The loss, valued at 22B ISK, stands out as a costly end to a high-stakes encounter in wormhole space.

THE CATCH

The fight in J213344 culminated in the destruction of a Fortizar, a structure that does not fall lightly and rarely disappears quietly. URSA PRIMUS appears to have found the opening it needed, applying enough pressure to finish the citadel before any escape or rescue could change the outcome.

THE FINAL BLOW

The structure was destroyed by Satalama Iwaira flying an Absolution, with URSA PRIMUS credited on the field as the attacking force. With 36 participants involved overall, the engagement suggests a concentrated effort rather than a passing skirmish, and the scale of the attack points to a deliberate commitment to see the target through to the end.

THE LOSSES

For (Far Deploy), the destruction of the Fortizar represents a 22B ISK loss in a single blow. The drop remains unpriced in the available data, but the loss of the hull itself is enough to mark the event as a significant setback.

THE SIGNIFICANCE

In wormhole space, a Fortizar is more than a ship loss; it is a statement of presence, anchoring, and control. Its destruction in J213344 may indicate a meaningful shift in local footing, or at the very least a reminder that even heavily invested assets can be exposed when a determined force closes the net.

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.
