Karjataimon Fight Ends in an 8.2 Billion ISK Loss for Project Potato and The Initiative.

A protracted fight in Karjataimon ended with Project Potato and The Initiative., and others taking the heaviest hit, as a 92-pilot clash across multiple groups turned into an 8.2 billion ISK wreckage field. The engagement ran for nearly two hours, with armour, missile, and brawling hulls feeding into a battle that steadily chewed through both sides before the final losses were recorded.

THE CLASH FOR KARJATAIMON

The fight in Karjataimon began at 18:03 and did not fully burn out until close to two hours later, suggesting a drawn-out engagement rather than a single sudden strike. Ninety-two pilots were involved overall, with the damage spread across three broad groupings: People's Liberation Alliance and Goonswarm Federation, and others; Project Potato and The Initiative., and others; and a smaller showing from Commando Guri. The scale of the losses points to a serious regional collision, not a brief roaming skirmish.

THE FLEETS THAT HIT HARDER

The largest share of the damage fell on Project Potato and The Initiative., and others, who appear to have absorbed the costliest end of the exchange. Their side accounts for roughly 4.7 billion ISK in losses, compared with about 3.45 billion ISK on the People's Liberation Alliance and Goonswarm Federation side. Commando Guri were present only in a limited way, with losses of just 36.9 million ISK, a footnote beside the main fleets grinding each other down.

THE SHIPS LOST TO THE FIGHT

The wreckage shows a mix of doctrine hulls and battlecruisers and battleships disappearing into the fire. Brutix Navy Issues were the most numerous individual loss, followed by Ravens, Typhoons, Punishers, Raven Navy Issues, and Drakes. That spread suggests sustained pressure on multiple ship classes rather than a clean collapse of one particular wing, with the fight likely moving through several phases as pilots tried to hold, disengage, or reinforce under fire.

THE PRICE OF THE ENGAGEMENT

The single most consequential destruction in the battle was the 8.2 billion ISK loss tied to Karjataimon itself, destroyed by the People's Liberation Alliance and Goonswarm Federation side after 92 attackers were involved in the final outcome. The result leaves Project Potato and The Initiative. paying the larger share of the bill, but the wider engagement also shows both major sides trading meaningful losses. In New Eden terms, that makes Karjataimon less a clean victory than a costly exchange that ended with one side absorbing the sharper blow.

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.
