Gila Caught in AD036 Hunt, 1.5 Billion ISK in Risk Lost

A Gila worth 1.5 billion ISK was caught and destroyed in AD036 after a five-ship hunt closed around DZEgor’s cruiser, leaving behind a cargo hold heavy with missiles, Triglavian material and the wreckage of an expensive escape attempt.

THE CATCH

The fight in AD036 appears to have been a compact hunt rather than a sprawling fleet clash, but the result was anything but routine. DZEgor of Really Power Blob. Alliance lost a Gila worth 1.5 billion ISK after Vigilant Tyrannos and attached allies converged on the target with five attackers applying the pressure that finally brought the ship down.

THE PRESSURE BUILDS

The attackers did not rely on a single finishing strike. Damage was spread across a small but varied group that included a Drifter Nullwarp Cruiser, a Drifter Assault Battleship, a Ghosting Damavik and other unidentified support. That mix suggests a coordinated intercept, with the Gila pinned long enough for the hunting group to keep carving away at it until escape was no longer an option.

THE LAST SHOTS

Scylla Tyrannos, flying a Drifter Nullwarp Cruiser, landed the final blow. The wreck tells the rest of the story: hundreds of Inferno Fury Heavy Missiles, Caldari Navy Inferno Heavy Missiles and Zero-Point Condensate were recovered, while more than a hundred Triglavian Survey Databases were destroyed in the explosion and nearly another hundred dropped into space. It was the sort of cargo that makes a target stand out before the fight even begins.

THE COST

For Really Power Blob. Alliance, the loss was not just a dead cruiser but a costly one, with 968.3 million ISK destroyed and 562.5 million ISK dropped from the hull. In a system like AD036, that kind of result marks a successful catch for Vigilant Tyrannos and a reminder that even a single ship can carry enough value to make a brief encounter feel like a major loss.

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.
