THE CATCH
The fight in J001820 was brief, but the cost was anything but. Mozart Anneto’s Leshak was the clear prize, and once it was isolated the engagement quickly turned into a focused takedown rather than a passing skirmish. With 19 pilots involved, the encounter had enough weight to suggest a small but committed hunt rather than a casual ambush.
THE PRESSURE BUILDS
Damage came in from multiple angles before the killing blow landed. Alashalton’s Nightmare appears to have done the heaviest work, while several Cerberus hulls from both High Bear Nation. and URSA. added sustained pressure. That kind of mixed participation suggests a crowded fight around a single high-value target, where the Leshak had little room to recover once the range control slipped away.
THE BREAK
Present Derz, flying a Cerberus for High Bear Nation., secured the final blow after the target had already been worn down by 12 attackers on the kill. For a battleship-sized platform carrying heavy weaponry and ammunition, the destruction of the Leshak was not just a clean finish — it was an expensive collapse. The loss included more than 1 billion ISK destroyed and over 270 million ISK recovered from the wreck, leaving a sizeable hit even before the fittings are counted in sentiment.
THE LOSSES
The wreckage tells the story of a ship that arrived with significant combat intent and left as salvage. Mystic L, Occult L, and large stores of exotic plasma ammunition were either destroyed or scattered, underscoring that this was a properly armed vessel, not a stripped-down shell. For No Vacancies., the loss of Mozart Anneto’s Leshak in wormhole space is the sort of blow that can sting well beyond the value of the hull itself.
