Loki Destroyed in Tight Wormhole Ambush by Blue Loot Not Included
A Loki worth 1.4 billion ISK was caught and destroyed in J133234 as Blue Loot Not Included put together a 14-ship response and closed on the target before it could escape. The fight was over almost as soon as it began, but the loss leaves little doubt about how dangerous a quiet wormhole can become once a high-value hull is exposed.
THE CATCH
The engagement in J133234 appears to have been a fast, concentrated hunt rather than a prolonged fleet clash. Blue Loot Not Included, backed here by Outfit 418 pilots, landed on a Loki flown by Yoshi Tadaruwa of Kitchen Sinkhole and turned the moment into a costly loss. With 14 participants in the field and 11 attackers credited on the final blow record, the target was not simply unlucky — it was outmatched and pinned in a place where mistakes are rarely forgiven.
THE AMBUSH CLOSES
The Loki’s fit suggests it was prepared for hard fighting, carrying Republic Fleet ammunition, Barrage and Hail rounds, and a stock of nanite repair paste. None of it was enough to keep the ship in the fight. The attackers brought pressure from multiple heavy hulls, including an Eos flown by Random Factoid, supported by Prophecy Navy Issue and Harbinger Navy Issue battlecruisers. That mix points to a group that was ready to apply immediate damage and finish the job before the Loki could buy distance or time.
THE BREAK
Final damage was credited to Random Factoid in an Eos, but the work had clearly already been done by the rest of the attacking group. The Loki was reduced to wreckage, with 1.3 billion ISK destroyed and only 145.9 million ISK recovered from the remains. In practical terms, that means the ship was stripped of much of its value in place, leaving Kitchen Sinkhole with a serious and immediate loss rather than a recoverable setback.
THE COST
For Yoshi Tadaruwa and Dark Venture Corporation, the destruction of a Loki is more than a lost hull: it is a reminder that expensive ships in wormhole space travel under constant threat. For Blue Loot Not Included, the kill is a clean result that demonstrates control and readiness in a compact engagement. The action in J133234 was brief, but the price tag ensures it will be noticed.
