THE CATCH
The engagement in FX-7EM was brief, but it was not quiet. What began as a single structure loss was backed by a sizeable local clash, with 54 participants drawn into the same moment of violence. The target was a Metenox Moon Drill belonging to Honorable Third Party, and its destruction suggests the structure had become exposed at exactly the wrong time.
THE BOMBING RUN
Most of the pressure came from covert strike craft. Arbren Esctra, Apollyon Qrr, Tauron Torres, and Gunthar X all flew stealth bombers in the assault, with Curatores Veritatis Alliance and Kinetic Diplomacy contributing the bulk of the damage. The structure was battered down through a combination of direct fire and collateral destruction, leaving little room for a clean escape or recovery once the attack was underway.
THE COLLAPSE
When the Metenox finally went up, it took more than the structure with it. The report shows large amounts of industrial material destroyed, including Evaporite Deposits, Magmatic Gas, Cobalt, Atmospheric Gases, and a partial drop of Dysprosium. That mix of destroyed and recovered resources underlines how quickly the assault closed the door on anything valuable still inside.
THE COST
The final tally places the loss at 1.4 billion ISK, with more than 701 million ISK destroyed outright and nearly 665 million ISK dropped from the wreck. For Honorable Third Party, the destruction of a Metenox Moon Drill is more than a single expensive loss: it is a reminder that even industrial infrastructure can be caught and dismantled fast when a hostile group brings the right ships to bear.
