Major Clash in H-29TM Ends with 26.5B ISK in Losses

A long-running engagement in H-29TM closed with 217 pilots, 32 ships destroyed, and 26.5 billion ISK wiped from the field as two large coalitions traded losses in a fight that stretched over many hours. The heaviest blow landed on HOLD MY PROBS and Legion of xXDEATHXx, and others, who appear to have borne the larger share of the damage as Brotherhood of Spacers and xqtywiznalamywmodxfhhopawzpqyjdwrpeptuaenabjawdzku, and others pressed the attack.

THE BREAKING POINT

The engagement in H-29TM was not a brief skirmish but a drawn-out clash that began on June 1 and ran into the early hours of June 2. By the end, the field had claimed a mix of heavier hulls and support ships, suggesting both sides committed enough force to turn the system into a sustained battleground rather than a passing raid.

THE SHIPS LOST

The losses tell the story of a fight that reached across multiple ship classes. Among the destroyed hulls were Apocalypse Navy Issue battleships, Nightmare strategic battleships, a Revelation, a Vindicator, a Vulture, and Purifiers. That spread suggests the fight escalated beyond a simple roam, with expensive and specialized ships exposed as control of the field shifted back and forth.

THE PRESSURE BUILDS

Brotherhood of Spacers and xqtywiznalamywmodxfhhopawzpqyjdwrpeptuaenabjawdzku, and others are credited with the bulk of the destruction on the winning side of the exchange, while HOLD MY PROBS and Legion of xXDEATHXx, and others suffered the larger recorded losses. The top loss, valued at 26.5B ISK, stands out as the kind of destruction that can reshape a fight’s momentum even before the wider tally is counted.

WHAT IT MEANS

With 32 ships gone and the total damage spread across several capital- and battleship-grade hulls, H-29TM appears to have been a costly and consequential engagement for everyone involved. Even without a single iconic supercapital in the wreckage, the scale and duration of the fight suggest a coordinated confrontation with enough weight to leave a mark on the region's war footing.

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.
