Gila Cut Down in a 2.8B ISK Hunt in AD084
A Gila worth 2.8 billion ISK was caught and destroyed in AD084 after a small group of attackers closed in on Kul Werewolf of Casualty Collecting Points. The loss was decisive: most of the ship and its fittings were destroyed, with only a portion recovered from the wreck.
THE CATCH
The fight in AD084 appears to have been a tight, small-scale hunt rather than a broad fleet clash. Five participants were involved, with DED named among the attackers and Vigilant Tyrannos also contributing to the pressure. Against that backdrop, Kul Werewolf’s Gila became the clear prize.
THE BREAK
The decisive damage came from an unknown attacker flying an Inferno Rocket for DED, who landed the final blow after the target had already been worn down by a Lucid Sentinel and a Drifter Nullwarp Cruiser. The combined pressure suggests the Gila was pinned long enough for the attackers to finish the job before any escape could be made. The final tally shows 2.2 billion ISK destroyed and 589.9 million ISK recovered from the wreck.
THE LOSSES
The wreck itself tells part of the story. Among the destroyed cargo were thousands of Caldari Navy Scourge Light Missiles, Triglavian Survey Databases, Zero-Point Condensate, and Crystalline Isogen-10, hinting that the Gila was carrying a substantial amount of operational stock or loot when it was caught. Even with some items dropping, a large share of the value vanished with the ship.
WHY IT MATTERS
For a single loss, this was an expensive one. The destruction of a faction cruiser in a small engagement is the kind of event that can sting far beyond the system where it happened, especially when the target falls to a compact, coordinated attack. AD084 now records one more reminder that even well-known ships can disappear quickly when the hunters get the timing right.
