Major Clash in UALX-3 Leaves 11.1B ISK Wreckage Behind

A 96-pilot fight in UALX-3 ended with 41 ships destroyed and losses totaling 11.1 billion ISK, as Brave Collective and Goonswarm Federation elements met Fraternity. and Snuffed Out alongside other allies in a battle that appears to have been decided by concentrated force rather than a quick strike.

THE CATCH

The engagement in UALX-3 stretched from late on 21 June into the early hours of 22 June, suggesting a sustained clash rather than a brief interception. By the end of the fight, both sides had committed enough ships to turn the system into a costly collision point, with Brave Collective and Goonswarm Federation on one side and Fraternity. and Snuffed Out on the other.

THE BREAKDOWN

The wreckage left behind shows a mixed and mobile fight. Gila losses led the list, followed by Vedmaks, Vagabonds, Sabres, Maledictions, and Scimitars, pointing to a battle that involved more than just raw brawling. The presence of interdictors and logistics hulls suggests control of the field mattered as much as damage output, and once ships began to fall, the fight seems to have widened quickly.

THE PRICE OF CONTROL

The headline loss was the system-level battle report itself, valued at 11.1 billion ISK and credited with a final blow from WarBeacon. That figure alone marks the engagement as more than routine contact. Brave Collective and Goonswarm Federation and their allies absorbed the larger share of the destruction, losing just over 8.9 billion ISK, while Fraternity. and Snuffed Out and their partners were responsible for a further 2.1 billion ISK in losses.

THE AFTEREFFECT

With 41 ships destroyed across 96 participants, the fight in UALX-3 looks like a decisive regional clash rather than a passing skirmish. The scale of the loss, and the spread of ship classes involved, suggests both sides were willing to contest the system seriously and pay for the privilege. Even without a single oversized capital on the field, the battle left a substantial mark on the local balance of force.

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.
