Golem Destroyed in Quick Strike at CW9-1Y
A 2.5 billion ISK Golem was caught and destroyed in CW9-1Y as a small strike group closed in on Dracarys. pilot yuanran. The battleship went down to a Phantasm flown by Hunter Hughes, ending the brief engagement with a decisive loss for its owner and a modest haul for the attackers.
THE CATCH
The fight in CW9-1Y appears to have been short and sharp rather than a drawn-out brawl. Eleven pilots were present in the engagement, but the decisive moment came when yuanran’s Golem, flown for Dracarys. through WAAAGH THE HELLLL, was isolated and brought under fire by a compact attacking group operating under Totally Not Alts.
THE KILL
Hunter Hughes in a Phantasm landed the final blow, accounting for the battleship’s destruction after dealing the overwhelming share of the damage. A Loki from 000 Russian Concern 000 also contributed, while the broader field suggests several other pilots were present but did not meaningfully affect the outcome. The Golem’s defensive and offensive systems did not save it once the attackers had the target pinned down.
THE LOSSES
The cost was substantial. The destroyed Golem represented 2.5 billion ISK in value, with 2.2 billion ISK lost outright and only 284.5 million ISK recovered in drops. Among the wreckage were cruise missiles and a Dread Guristas Cruise Missile Launcher, a reminder that even a single capital-grade marauder can carry a heavy inventory when it falls.
WHY IT MATTERS
For Dracarys., the loss removes a high-value marauder from the field in a fight that ended before it could become a larger contest. For the attackers, it was a clean and profitable interception: a high-end ship caught, destroyed, and stripped before it could escape. In New Eden, that is often all the significance a hunt needs.
