Golem Falls in a Tight Wormhole Ambush in J115136
A 3.4 billion ISK skirmish in J115136 ended with a Golem reduced to wreckage after a small but effective hunt by 4Crabs Tavern and allied attackers. The faction battleship was pinned down and finished off in a fight that lasted only minutes, but left behind the sort of losses that linger long after the field goes quiet.
THE CATCH
The engagement in J115136 was short, sharp, and expensive. Six pilots were involved in a compact fight that resulted in two ship losses, both of them Golems, and the largest prize was a 2 billion ISK hull flown by Hara Igunen of Black Ribbit. The attack came from 4Crabs Tavern, with the final blow credited to 1 Tap Machine in a Kronos, suggesting the defenders were caught by a focused brawl rather than a drifting harassment gang.
THE BREAK
The Golem carried the kind of fit that suggests a serious wormhole workhorse or combat mission runner: cruise missiles, support tools, and enough specialised hardware to make the wreck matter even before the hull vanished. Much of that equipment was destroyed outright, including thousands of Guristas and Scourge cruise missiles, while a smaller share was recovered from the wreck. The result was a loss that went beyond the ship itself, stripping away both the vessel and the tools built around it.
THE FINISH
The killing blow came from a Kronos, a heavyweight marauder built to punish anything that cannot escape once committed. 1 Tap Machine dealt the decisive damage, while an unidentified Emergent Defender also contributed significant pressure. That mix points to a close-range, concentrated finish: a target held in place long enough for the attackers to grind through it, then collapse under the last burst of fire.
THE COST
For Black Ribbit and Four Winds Inc., the immediate consequence was simple and brutal: two Golems gone in a fight that lasted less than four minutes. In wormhole space, where every commitment carries extra risk and there is no easy reinforcements call, that kind of loss can change how a group moves through its home. J115136 saw a brief encounter, but one costly enough to be remembered.
