Heretic Crew Catches 2.4B Pod in 1ZF-PJ
A capsule worth 2.4 billion ISK was destroyed in 1ZF-PJ after Deepwater Hooligans caught Tenaciel Koudilli’s escape attempt and closed the net before the pod could get clear. The loss ended with Heretic pilot Cassius Callistus landing the final blow, while the destruction of high-grade crystal implants turned a quick catch into a costly one for Goonswarm Federation.
THE CATCH
The engagement in 1ZF-PJ was brief, but the consequences were anything but. Deepwater Hooligans, with three attackers directly credited on the loss, caught Tenaciel Koudilli’s capsule and ended the escape before it could turn into a clean extraction. What vanished in seconds was not a ship hull but a highly fitted pod, the kind of target that carries its value in implants rather than armor.
THE PRIZE
The capsule’s destruction wiped out a set of expensive implants, including High-grade Crystal Alpha, Gamma and Delta, along with a Zainou 'Gnome' Weapon Upgrades WU-1005 and an Eifyr and Co. 'Gunslinger' Motion Prediction MR-705. Those losses account for the 2.4 billion ISK price tag, and make this look less like a routine podding than the removal of a carefully prepared clone. For Goonswarm Federation pilot Tenaciel Koudilli, there was no margin for error once the ship was gone.
THE FINISH
Cassius Callistus in a Heretic secured the final blow, with support from MyHearTw1llgoOn in an Exequror Navy Issue and Luasense in a Gnosis. The mix suggests a small but coordinated hunt rather than a lone opportunist’s snap judgment. Even with only eight participants involved in the wider encounter, the target was isolated decisively enough that the pod never escaped pressure long enough to matter.
THE LOSSES
The immediate loss is simple: one capsule, but a very expensive one. For the victim, that means the destruction of a high-value clone and its fitted implants; for the attackers, it is a clean and efficient catch that turned a fleeting opening into a major payout. In New Eden, that kind of kill sends its own message: if a costly pod lingers even briefly in the wrong place, somebody is ready to punish the mistake.
