Marshal Cut Down in 10.3B ISK Loss at IPAY-2
A Fraternity. Marshal went down in IPAY-2 after a brief but costly fight that left the super-heavy hull shattered and more than 10 billion ISK in losses in its wake. The ship, flown by CN-asong of STARCHASER Inc, was destroyed by a small group including Republic Military School pilots, with the final blow landing from an Exequror Navy Issue flown by M2018M.
THE HUNT
The engagement in IPAY-2 appears to have been a tight interception rather than a drawn-out fleet brawl. Only nine pilots are recorded on grid, but the scale of the loss made the encounter far more consequential than the headcount suggests. At the centre of it stood a Marshal, one of the more formidable and expensive hulls in New Eden, carrying a fitting and ammunition load that pushed the total value of the ship’s destruction to 10.3 billion ISK.
THE BREAK
The target belonged to Fraternity. pilot CN-asong of STARCHASER Inc, and the damage profile suggests the ship was fought hard before it finally gave way. The Marshal’s destruction accounted for 9.9 billion ISK of that total, while only 348.6 million ISK in value was recovered. Among the scattered losses were large ammunition stores and helium isotopes, a reminder that the ship was travelling prepared for a fight — or at least expecting one.
THE FINISH
The final blow came from M2018M in an Exequror Navy Issue, an unlikely-looking ship to end a ship of this weight but one that underlines how quickly a high-value target can be pinned, bled, and finished once caught. Other Republic Military School and allied pilots were present in support, including an Osprey Navy Issue and a Cenotaph, helping to wear the Marshal down before the last volley landed. The kill was shared across a mixed group, but the destruction itself fell on the Fraternity. side alone.
WHY IT MATTERS
A Marshal is not the sort of loss that disappears into the noise of everyday roaming. For Fraternity., it is an expensive reminder that even a heavily fitted capital-grade battleship can be exposed in the wrong moment. For the hunters, the result is a clean, high-value prize taken in a short engagement, the kind of loss that can ripple well beyond a single system and linger in the minds of anyone flying a rare hull through contested space.
