Metenox Moon Drill Destroyed in Tirbam Strike
A Metenox Moon Drill worth 1.1 billion ISK was destroyed in Tirbam as a 59-pilot fight centered on the structure’s fall and the fight to strip it for parts. The attack appears to have been carried out by Domain Research and Mining Inst. Logistics, with Krios Deninard in a Purifier landing the final blow.
THE STRIKE
The destruction of the Metenox Moon Drill in Tirbam was the clear center of the engagement. The structure, tied to The Obsidian Consortium, was hit in a fight that lasted only a moment on paper but drew in a sizable field of 59 participants. For a single structure loss, the scale suggests a concentrated attempt to overwhelm the target before defenders could stabilize the grid.
THE ATTACKERS CLOSE IN
Domain Research and Mining Inst. Logistics accounted for the attacking side, with Nuke Waste named among the organizations involved on the final blow record. The damage profile points to a coordinated assault built around heavy cloaked firepower: Redeemers, Hounds, and a Purifier all contributed substantial damage before the drill finally went down. Krios Deninard, flying the Purifier, delivered the finishing strike after the structure had already taken massive punishment.
THE PRIZE BREAKS APART
The wreck left behind a mixed loss and drop haul, with 689.5 million ISK destroyed and 447.1 million ISK recovered. Among the items scattered in the aftermath were 86,200 units of Magmatic Gas, along with Cobalt, Atmospheric Gases, and Silicates. At the same time, 4,905 Helium Fuel Blocks were destroyed, underscoring that this was not just a ship loss but the collapse of a valuable industrial asset and everything tied to it.
WHY IT MATTERS
For The Obsidian Consortium, the loss of a Metenox Moon Drill is more than a headline shipwreck. It is a costly removal of infrastructure, and in EVE that can mean disrupted income, lost control, and a painful reminder that industrial assets are exposed when hunters come prepared. The fight in Tirbam appears to have ended as a successful strike rather than a drawn-out battle, but the result is still the same: a billion-ISK structure reduced to debris, and a clear demonstration that even industrial targets can become the prize in a focused assault.
