Ikitursa Cracks in S-NJBB as Deepwater Hooligans Close the Net
An expensive Ikitursa was caught and destroyed in S-NJBB, ending a brief but costly engagement that drew in 11 pilots and left Fraternity. with a 1 billion ISK loss. The final blow went to Btr0n’s Khizriel after Deepwater Hooligans pressed the attack alongside a mix of supporting ships.
THE CATCH
What appears to have been a fast, local engagement in S-NJBB ended with Puuchi Syrea’s Ikitursa pinned down and dismantled before it could escape. Deepwater Hooligans were the principal attackers, while Fraternity. stood on the losing side of a fight that never had time to stretch into anything larger. The ship’s value alone made it a prize worth hunting; by the end, it had become a very expensive wreck.
THE PRESSURE BUILDS
The damage profile suggests the Ikitursa was under sustained pressure from multiple angles. Btr0n’s Khizriel claimed the final blow, but the attack also involved Kanye North in a Cynabal, Tyrell Jackson in a Vedmak, Kahvegi in a Draugur, and Cytheera in a Stiletto. The mix points to a coordinated catch rather than a lone ambush, with enough tackle and damage on field to keep the target committed long enough for the kill to land.
THE LOSSES
At roughly 1 billion ISK overall, the destruction was heavily concentrated in the Ikitursa itself, with 966.4 million ISK destroyed and only 70 million ISK recovered. That leaves a bitter result for Fraternity., especially with ammunition and consumables scattered in the wreckage, including lost Occult M, Mystic M, Navy Cap Booster 800s, and Caldari Navy Vespa drones. For the victim, the ship was not merely lost — it was stripped of value in the process.
WHY IT MATTERS
Single-ship losses can vanish quickly in the noise of New Eden, but this one stands out because of the price and the way it was taken. An Ikitursa is not something to throw away casually, and Deepwater Hooligans appear to have turned a small-scale contact into a clean and profitable catch. In a region where every exposed high-value hull invites attention, S-NJBB served as a reminder that hesitation can be fatal once the hunting fleet gets its grip.
