THE CATCH
The fight in J234557 was small, but the stakes were not. Jiemizhe’s Leshak was the clear centrepiece of the encounter, and the ship’s value alone made it an attractive target in wormhole space. The reports point to a brief, five-participant skirmish in which The Akker Navy committed two attackers to bring the battleship down.
THE BREAK
The damage came from a Proteus flown by Kuklinski, who landed the final blow after dealing the largest share of damage. A Legion flown by U93AJAX also took part in the attack, suggesting a coordinated hunt rather than a lucky solo strike. Against that pressure, the Leshak could not hold on long enough to escape or turn the fight.
THE LOSSES
The ship’s destruction removed 840.3 million ISK in fitted value outright, while another 242.2 million ISK in cargo and fittings appears to have been recovered by the attackers. Among the items lost were large stockpiles of exotic plasma ammunition and Sisters Core Scanner Probes, a reminder that the vessel was operating as a serious combat and utility platform rather than a stripped-down hull.
WHY IT MATTERS
For a single ship loss, the destruction of a Leshak is never routine, and in wormhole space every exposed battleship carries extra risk. This one ended in a clean catch for The Akker Navy and a costly setback for Science and Trade Institute, turning a short local engagement into an expensive mistake that will be felt long after the grid went quiet.
