Leshak Crashes Out in a 1.8B ISK J133023 Skirmish
A Leshak worth 1.8 billion ISK was destroyed in J133023 as a 13-pilot engagement unfolded inside the same X - Z E S T group, with the final blow landing from Alissa Vincent’s own Leshak. What began as a compact clash in wormhole space ended with the hull broken apart and a cargo hold full of ammunition and fittings spilling into the void.
THE CATCH
The fighting in J133023 was brief but costly. By the time the exchange ended, one Leshak was gone and the encounter had already put 1.8 billion ISK on the line. The victim, DDautoexe of X-Zest Voyage, was caught in a fight that involved 13 participants and appears to have become crowded with heavier support ships very quickly.
THE PRESSURE BUILDS
The attacking side included nine pilots credited against the loss, but the participant list suggests this was never just a straight duel. Alongside another Leshak, the field included a Nestor, a Drifter Recon Battleship, and a Sleepless Keeper among the attackers recorded in the data. That mix points to a dangerous environment for any lone battleship trying to hold position once the opposition closed in.
THE BREAK
The decisive moment came when Alissa Vincent, flying a Leshak for X - Z E S T, secured the final blow. The target’s losses were split between destruction and salvageable wreckage: 1.2 billion ISK destroyed and 597.8 million ISK dropped. Among the items lost and scattered were large stocks of Mystic L, Baryon Exotic Plasma L, Meson Exotic Plasma L, Tetryon Exotic Plasma L, and Occult L, suggesting the ship was fully committed and loaded for sustained combat.
THE COST
A Leshak is never a trivial loss, and this one stands out because of both its value and the amount of force arrayed around it. The engagement leaves X - Z E S T taking a painful hit in a single moment, while the presence of multiple unusually heavy ships in the fight suggests a confrontation that could have escalated further if the ship had held on any longer. In wormhole space, even a short engagement can decide who controls the field—and here, the field clearly turned fast.
