THE CATCH
The encounter in B3QP-K was a small one on paper, but the price tag gave it real weight. Four participants were involved, and the only loss recorded was Nina Edward’s Impel of Synergy of Steel, a ship valued at 3.4 billion ISK. For a transport hull built around hauling and endurance, that kind of loss is never routine.
THE BREAKDOWN
The damage split suggests the attackers were able to put the ship under enough pressure to force a rapid collapse. Of the Impel’s value, 2 billion ISK was destroyed and 1.4 billion ISK dropped from the wreck. Among the recovered and destroyed ammunition, the mix of long-range charges and heavy missile supplies points to a vessel prepared for extended travel or security, but not enough to survive the attention it drew.
THE FINAL BLOW
Guardians of Tranquility claimed the destruction, with GoodBread of Temple of Tuvan Orth flying a Gnosis and landing the decisive shot. The attack was concentrated rather than sprawling: one attacker is recorded as delivering 13,768 points of damage, enough to finish the ship once the fight had gone against it. In a brief engagement, that is all it takes for a heavily fitted transport to become wreckage.
THE COST
For Synergy of Steel, the loss of an Impel is more than a single ship gone missing. It removes a valuable logistics asset and leaves behind an expensive reminder that even robust hulls can be pinned down in the wrong place at the wrong time. For Guardians of Tranquility, it is a clean interception and a neatly collected prize in a system where every exposed high-value ship can become an opportunity.
