Machariel Crushed in C-PEWN as Siberian Squads Close the Trap
A Machariel worth 3.1 billion ISK was destroyed in C-PEWN after Siberian Squads caught Dracarys. in a sharp, costly engagement that left little room for escape. The battle drew 23 participants overall, but the centre of gravity was the loss of XiGuan’s faction-fit battleship, finished by BrightHeart Kleva in a Redeemer.
THE CATCH
What began as a single ship loss appears to have been the result of a focused hunt rather than a stray casualty. The Machariel flown by XiGuan of Dracarys. was exposed long enough for Siberian Squads to bring force to bear, with 14 attackers credited against the target. In a system where every second matters, that kind of pressure can turn a valuable battleship from threat into wreckage quickly.
THE BREAK
The damage profile suggests the ship was fitted for serious combat, not casual travel. A Centus X-Type EM Armor Hardener, Imperial Navy Large EMP Smartbombs, and a Large Micro Jump Drive all feature among the losses and drops, underscoring how much was committed to the hull. Some of that value was recovered, but not enough to change the outcome. The total destruction still reached 2.2 billion ISK, with another 897.3 million ISK recovered from the field.
THE FINISH
BrightHeart Kleva, flying a Redeemer for Siberian Squads, landed the final blow and brought the fight to its end. The presence of a black-ops battleship at the conclusion suggests the target was not simply found, but deliberately closed out once pinned. For XiGuan, the attempt to keep the Machariel alive ended with the ship gone and the pilot reduced to a capsule amid the wreckage.
THE COST
The loss is significant even by the standards of New Eden’s violent borders. A Machariel at this price is never routine, and a 3.1 billion ISK destruction in a single moment is the sort of blow that stings long after the field is clear. For Dracarys., it means one less heavyweight on the map; for Siberian Squads, it is a clean and expensive prize.
