Leshak Lost in a 1.5B ISK Wormhole Ambush in J001820
A No Vacancies. Leshak was destroyed in J001820 after URSA. and allies caught the battleship in a fast-moving 12-pilot engagement that stripped away more than a billion ISK in hull and fittings. The ship was finished by Crash-Down flying a Cerberus, ending a short but costly encounter in the wormhole system.
THE CATCH
The fight in J001820 appears to have been brief and decisive. On one side was No Vacancies., on the other URSA., with support from High Bear Nation. bringing the attacker side to eight pilots in the final blow record. The engagement involved 12 participants overall, enough to suggest a tightly focused hunt rather than a sprawling fleet action.
THE LESHAK
The loss centred on Ripfubar Sr’s Leshak, a hull that never leaves a field cheaply. Its total value reached 1.5B ISK, with 1B ISK destroyed and 471M ISK recovered by the attackers. The ship was carrying a substantial stock of ammunition, including Tetryon Exotic Plasma L and Occult L, while other exotic plasma charges were lost with the wreck. That loadout suggests the vessel was prepared for a prolonged fight, but instead it was caught before it could dictate the engagement.
THE BREAK
Crash-Down secured the final blow in a Cerberus, with several other pilots contributing meaningful damage before the Leshak went down. The damage profile points to concentrated pressure from multiple angles rather than a lone finishing strike, and the presence of a Loki and a Nightmare among the attackers suggests the target was facing a dangerous mix of speed, range, and firepower. However it began, the exchange ended with the heavier ship unable to escape the net closing around it.
THE PRICE
For No Vacancies., the immediate consequence is simple: a costly battleship lost and a moment of momentum handed over to URSA. The wreck left behind enough value to make the skirmish memorable even by wormhole standards. In a region where a single misstep can turn into a large bill very quickly, this was the kind of short engagement that lingers long after the guns go quiet.
