Fraternity Thunderchilds Erase 2.3B Nestor in C8VC-S
A Fraternity. Nestor worth 2.3 billion ISK was caught and destroyed in C8VC-S, with four Thunderchilds doing the bulk of the work in a fast, punishing engagement. The ship belonged to Michael Landing of Fraternity.’s Special law enforcement department, and its wreck left behind a mixed haul of loot and losses after the exchange ended almost as quickly as it began.
THE CATCH
The loss in C8VC-S was brief but expensive. In a fight recorded at 20:42 UTC, a Nestor flown by Michael Landing was overwhelmed by a small group of Fraternity. attackers. The confrontation involved six participants in total and ended with the cruiser-sized battleship destroyed before it could escape the pressure.
THE HAMMER FALLS
The damage came from a concentrated Thunderchild strike. John Arkonor delivered the final blow in a Thunderchild named Thunderchild, but he was only one part of the wrecking crew. Jean-Cloak McStabber, Mandrakex, and Peter Veldspar also fired from Thunderchilds, suggesting the Nestor was boxed in and methodically broken apart rather than simply clipped by a lucky shot. An unaligned Pith Usurper appears in the record as a minor participant, but the destruction was overwhelmingly Fraternity. work against one of their own.
THE PRICE OF THE ESCAPE
The Nestor’s destruction accounted for 2.3 billion ISK in total value, with 1.5 billion ISK destroyed and 757.7 million ISK recovered in drops. Among the wreckage were Guristas charges and torpedoes, some destroyed and some scattered into space. For a ship built to be durable and hard to pin down, the loss is still a sharp one, made worse by the fact that the victim and the attackers were both listed under Fraternity.
WHY IT MATTERS
Even without a sprawling fleet battle, the engagement stands out for the scale of the loss and the unusual shape of the fight. A single Nestor does not vanish cheaply, and this one appears to have been caught by a disciplined burst of capital-grade firepower from within the same alliance. In New Eden, that kind of sudden internal disaster can be as memorable as any border skirmish.
