Leshak Destroyed in 1.1B ISK Hunt Through J130330
A Leshak worth 1.1 billion ISK was caught and destroyed in J130330 as a 45-pilot field closed around the ship and stripped away any chance of escape. The final blow came from Battery-Acid’s Sleipnir, ending a brief but costly encounter for ScottJ of GOD LOVE 499.
THE CATCH
The fight in J130330 appears to have been a concentrated hunt rather than a sprawling battle, with 45 participants converging on a single valuable target. ScottJ’s Leshak stood at the centre of it, and once the engagement tightened, the ship had little room to work. The result was decisive: a capital-leaning battleship taken apart under pressure for a total loss of 1.1 billion ISK.
THE FIREPOWER
The damage came from a mixed group that included FFEW Associates, BatteryCorp, Violence is the Answer, and We Forsakened Few. Among the attackers, Battery-Acid’s Sleipnir delivered the final blow, while Nighthawks and another Sleipnir added sustained pressure. The presence of an Azbel on the field suggests the engagement may have involved committed support rather than a casual roaming scrape, though the data only confirms the force that was brought to bear, not the wider plan behind it.
THE BREAKDOWN
The loss was not just a hull for hull exchange. Around 850.6 million ISK was destroyed and 256 million ISK dropped, with ammunition and repairs supplies spilling into the wreckage alongside the ship itself. High-grade crystals and exotic plasma charges were among the items caught in the blast, underlining how heavily loaded the Leshak was when it was brought down. For ScottJ, the cost of a single mistake or moment of exposure was immediate and severe.
WHY IT MATTERS
Even without a larger battle around it, the destruction of a Leshak in hostile space is the sort of event that can shape local caution quickly. A ship of this value does not vanish quietly, and the way this one was cornered in J130330 suggests an organised force was ready to punish any slip. For the attackers, it was a clean and expensive prize; for the victim, a sharp reminder that in wormhole space, even a powerful hull can be made to disappear in seconds.
