High-Value H-29TM Battle Ends with 26.5B ISK Losses

A large engagement in H-29TM left both sides bloodied, but the deepest cut was the destruction of a 26.5 billion ISK target at the centre of the fight. With 217 pilots involved and 32 ships lost across the field, the battle developed into a costly exchange between Brotherhood of Spacers and xqtywiznalamywmodxfhhopawzpqyjdwrpeptuaenabjawdzku, and others on one side, and HOLD MY PROBS and Legion of xXDEATHXx, and others on the other.

THE PRIZE

The most striking loss in H-29TM was the 26.5B ISK destruction of the battle report-linked target itself, a high-value result that suggests the engagement revolved around something worth committing serious force to catch or hold. The final blow was credited to WarBeacon, while the attacker side gathered under the banner of Brotherhood of Spacers and xqtywiznalamywmodxfhhopawzpqyjdwrpeptuaenabjawdzku, and others.

THE CLASH

The fight drew in 217 participants and quickly became a broad fleet action rather than a brief skirmish. HOLD MY PROBS and Legion of xXDEATHXx, and others absorbed the larger share of the losses by value, at just over 21.8B ISK destroyed against them, while Brotherhood of Spacers and its partners also paid heavily, losing more than 4.6B ISK. That balance points to a clash where neither side escaped cleanly.

THE LOSSES

The destruction list shows the kind of ships that made this an expensive place to be. Apocalypse Navy Issue hulls were hit hardest in number, followed by Nightmares, with smaller but still meaningful losses among Purifiers, Vindicators, a Revelation, and a Vulture. The mix suggests a fight that reached into both battleships and heavier support, with enough pressure on the field to punish a range of ship types.

THE CONSEQUENCE

By the end of the nearly 15-hour window recorded for the engagement, H-29TM had become an expensive reminder of how quickly a concentrated fight can escalate. A 26.5B ISK target destroyed, 32 ships gone, and both participating coalitions taking damage in the same field suggests a battle that may have disrupted operations well beyond the immediate kill count.

Scan Stakan Killed 55 Ships and Lost 186 in the Same Fight

E-WMT7 produced 376 killmails, somewhere around 134 billion ISK of wreckage, and one battleship worth more than a force auxiliary, a Nestor and a Typhoon Fleet Issue put together. The number that stings harder is 186. That is how many ships Scan Stakan lost in the same engagement in which they killed 55 - top of the kill list and top of the loss list, in a single three-and-a-half-hour afternoon.

x Never Regret x Takes 40 Kills as Raa Burns 26 Capitals

At 17:28 UTC, a Retriever died in Raa. Retrievers die constantly, and in Devoid that is more or less the job description. This one is only worth mentioning because of what followed it: for the next hundred minutes, a system on the edge of Amarr space turned into a scrapyard, and by the time the last shot landed at 19:10, 87 ships had been destroyed and the bill had reached 157.4 billion ISK. Almost half of that was one Revelation.

Rattini Tribe and Prime Directive. Split Dal's 192 Billion ISK Bill

An Amarr Shuttle belonging to G0lden Fleet. died in Dal at 16:15 UTC. That is not normally the opening line of a 192 billion ISK story, but Dal spent the next three hours and forty-one minutes making sure nobody forgot it. By the time the last capsule in the system - belonging to x Never Regret x - came apart at 19:56, 557 pilots had produced 516 confirmed losses, fourteen capital ships had been wrecked, and the Heimatar system had eaten just over 192 billion ISK. That is not a skirmish somebody stumbled into. That is a decision, made over and over, for the better part of four hours.

Brave Newbies Topped Both Sides of the HY-RWO Ledger

The first ship to die in HY-RWO was a Rokh worth 44.7 billion ISK, and it set the tone for everything that came after. Over the following hour, 1,883 pilots fought in the Catch system, 243 ships were destroyed, and around 205 billion ISK was removed from the economy one killmail at a time. Not a single capital ship died. In a fight of that size, the most expensive losses were ordinary battleships, fitted in a way that makes the word 'ordinary' sound absurd.
