Machariel Lost in Fraternity-on-Fraternity Skirmish in P-UCRP
A Fraternity. Machariel was destroyed in P-UCRP in a brief but expensive exchange that left the same alliance on both sides of the field. The 2.6 billion ISK loss came after five Fraternity. pilots, all flying Machariels, piled damage onto the ship before the final blow landed, with an unidentified Guristas Dreadnought also recorded among the attackers.
THE CATCH
The fight in P-UCRP appears to have been over almost as soon as it began. What is known points to a compact engagement involving just six participants, but one that was costly enough to matter: a Fraternity. Machariel piloted by IMWeight was destroyed in the exchange, turning a momentary clash into a 2.6 billion ISK loss.
THE PRESSURE BUILDS
The attacking side was made up almost entirely of Fraternity. Machariels, with IMWeightW delivering the final blow and three other pilots—IMWeightH, IMWeightN, and IMWeightG—adding sustained damage. An unidentified Guristas Dreadnought also appears in the attacker list, suggesting the target was under heavy pressure from the outset rather than picked off cleanly by a lone interceptor or roaming gang.
THE PRICE OF EXPOSURE
The destroyed Machariel was not an empty shell. Around 800.4 million ISK in fittings was recovered, while 1.8 billion ISK was destroyed with the hull, including multiple Caldari Navy Large Graviton Smartbombs, a Large Micro Jump Drive, and a Large Cap Battery II. That loadout suggests a ship built to project force and survive contact, which makes its loss all the more expensive when the engagement turned against it.
A FIGHT WITHIN THE RANKS
The most unusual detail is that both attacker and victim are listed as Fraternity., with the same corporation, Chaos arbiter, attached to both sides as well. That makes the destruction of IMWeight’s Machariel look less like a routine external hunt and more like an internal or closely connected confrontation. Whatever the circumstances, the result was a sharp reminder that even familiar space can produce very expensive mistakes.
