Major Battle in C-J6MT Ends in 5.8B ISK in Losses

A five-and-a-half-hour fight in C-J6MT left 116 pilots on the field and 5.8 billion ISK in wreckage, with Fraternity. and Invidia Gloriae Comes facing off against Goonswarm Federation, SONS of BANE, and others in a battle that ground through dozens of ship losses before the field finally settled.

THE GRIND

The engagement in C-J6MT stretched from 04:00 UTC to well past 09:30, a long and punishing collision rather than a brief strike. By the end, 76 ships had been lost and the system was littered with the remains of a fight that appears to have evolved into a sustained fleet action. The scale alone suggests both sides committed enough force to keep the confrontation going long after the first exchanges.

SHIPS THAT BLED

The loss mix tells the story of a battle fought in layers. Svipuls made up the largest share of the wreckage, followed by Moas and Flycatchers, with Exequror Navy Issues and even a handful of Vargurs and Stabber Fleet Issues also destroyed. That spread suggests the fight was not confined to one narrow ship class or one clean volley, but instead moved through tackle, support, and heavier hulls as the battle deepened.

THE TURNING POINT

Fraternity. and Invidia Gloriae Comes were credited with the top loss in the report, though the actual destroyable value is listed against the C-J6MT battle record itself rather than a single named hull. WarBeacon records the final blow and the engagement as a whole, underlining just how central this clash was to the system’s activity. With 116 pilots involved, the fight appears to have been decided by persistence and reinforcement rather than by a single decisive strike.

THE COST

Goonswarm Federation, SONS of BANE, and their allies accounted for the larger share of the total value lost, roughly 3.4 billion ISK, while Fraternity. and Invidia Gloriae Comes suffered about 2.4 billion ISK in destruction. That imbalance suggests the battle was costly on both sides, but heavier on the Goonswarm-led force. In practical terms, the long exchange in C-J6MT likely weakened both coalitions’ local strength and left a significant bill behind for whoever intended to keep operating there.

Scan Stakan Killed 55 Ships and Lost 186 in the Same Fight

E-WMT7 produced 376 killmails, somewhere around 134 billion ISK of wreckage, and one battleship worth more than a force auxiliary, a Nestor and a Typhoon Fleet Issue put together. The number that stings harder is 186. That is how many ships Scan Stakan lost in the same engagement in which they killed 55 - top of the kill list and top of the loss list, in a single three-and-a-half-hour afternoon.

x Never Regret x Takes 40 Kills as Raa Burns 26 Capitals

At 17:28 UTC, a Retriever died in Raa. Retrievers die constantly, and in Devoid that is more or less the job description. This one is only worth mentioning because of what followed it: for the next hundred minutes, a system on the edge of Amarr space turned into a scrapyard, and by the time the last shot landed at 19:10, 87 ships had been destroyed and the bill had reached 157.4 billion ISK. Almost half of that was one Revelation.

Rattini Tribe and Prime Directive. Split Dal's 192 Billion ISK Bill

An Amarr Shuttle belonging to G0lden Fleet. died in Dal at 16:15 UTC. That is not normally the opening line of a 192 billion ISK story, but Dal spent the next three hours and forty-one minutes making sure nobody forgot it. By the time the last capsule in the system - belonging to x Never Regret x - came apart at 19:56, 557 pilots had produced 516 confirmed losses, fourteen capital ships had been wrecked, and the Heimatar system had eaten just over 192 billion ISK. That is not a skirmish somebody stumbled into. That is a decision, made over and over, for the better part of four hours.

Brave Newbies Topped Both Sides of the HY-RWO Ledger

The first ship to die in HY-RWO was a Rokh worth 44.7 billion ISK, and it set the tone for everything that came after. Over the following hour, 1,883 pilots fought in the Catch system, 243 ships were destroyed, and around 205 billion ISK was removed from the economy one killmail at a time. Not a single capital ship died. In a fight of that size, the most expensive losses were ordinary battleships, fitted in a way that makes the word 'ordinary' sound absurd.
