L A Z E R H A W K S Catch 1.4B Nestor in WMH-SO
A Nestor worth 1.4 billion ISK was brought down in WMH-SO after L A Z E R H A W K S closed in with seven attackers and finished the ship off in a brief but costly strike. The loss left Nancy Keikira of The Initiative. and ANGELGARD. with a hard hit, while the wreckage yielded only part of the value back to the field.
THE CATCH
The engagement appears to have been a fast interception rather than a drawn-out fight. In WMH-SO, L A Z E R H A W K S found Nancy Keikira’s Nestor and turned a single encounter into a 1.4 billion ISK loss. With 11 participants in the area, the action was small in scale, but the prize was anything but routine.
THE HUNTING LINE
Seven attackers were credited on the destruction, with Radakos in a Maelstrom landing the final blow. Another Maelstrom piloted by MDNJPN, along with a Raven flown by Dreydan Trovirr and a Typhoon under Forget Myface, suggests a coordinated hunting group bringing enough firepower to pin the cruiser-sized support battleship in place. Even the capsule of Tenk Blest was on the field, a reminder of how close the action got.
THE LOSSES
The Nestor did not go quietly. Among the recovered and destroyed fittings were stacks of Nanite Repair Paste, Garde II drones, and Medium Mutated Drones, while five Warrior II drones were destroyed in the exchange. The ship itself accounted for most of the value, with 1.1 billion ISK destroyed and 222.9 million ISK recovered from the wreck.
WHY IT MATTERS
For a single ship loss, the destruction carries real weight: a logistics-capable battleship-class hull removed from the field, and a reminder that expensive ships remain vulnerable when they are isolated. L A Z E R H A W K S came away with the more decisive result, and in New Eden that kind of catch can matter as much for the message it sends as for the ISK it removes.
