Leshak Falls in 2.8B ISK Hunt Through J001820
A Leshak worth 1.5 billion ISK was caught and destroyed in J001820 after a brief but costly hunt that drew together 25 pilots from both sides. The ship, flown by Ripfubar Sr of No Vacancies., went down under pressure from URSA. and High Bear Nation. in a fight that ended with the battleship-class hull stripped of its cargo and left to burn in the wormhole.
THE CATCH
The engagement in J001820 appears to have begun as a fast-moving interception rather than a sprawling fleet fight. On one side were URSA. and High Bear Nation., fielding a combined force of 25 pilots in pursuit of a valuable target. On the other was Ripfubar Sr of No Vacancies., whose Leshak quickly became the centre of the action.
THE BREAK
The decisive damage came from Crash-Down of URSA., flying a Cerberus and landing the final blow. The kill data suggests the Leshak was under sustained fire from multiple attackers, including Loki, Nightmare, and even capsule-level follow-through after the ship was already pinned down. For a short engagement, the damage spread was heavy enough to make the outcome feel inevitable once the target was committed.
THE LOSSES
The Leshak was valued at 1.5 billion ISK, with the broader destruction from the fight reaching 2.8 billion ISK across two losses. More than 1 billion ISK was destroyed outright, while 471 million ISK appears to have been recovered or dropped. Among the cargo caught in the wreckage were large stocks of exotic plasma charges, a reminder that this was not an empty hull but a ship prepared for real use.
THE SIGNIFICANCE
For No Vacancies., the loss of a Leshak in a short wormhole engagement is the kind of setback that hurts immediately: expensive, specialised, and difficult to replace on the spot. For URSA. and High Bear Nation., the result shows the value of coordinated pressure in J-space, where a target can be caught, collapsed, and destroyed before an escape attempt has time to form.
