Metenox Moon Drill Lost in 1.2B ISK Strike in INQ-WR
A Metenox Moon Drill was destroyed in INQ-WR after a large, mixed force closed in on the structure and ground it down. The 1.2 billion ISK loss ended with Kinetic Diplomacy’s Tauron Torres landing the final blow in an Eos, while the wreck left a heavy split between what was destroyed and what was recovered.
THE CATCH
The fight in INQ-WR centred on a Metenox Moon Drill that became the day’s prize. With 93 participants recorded around the engagement, the structure was never dealing with a small roaming gang. Kinetic Diplomacy is listed among the attackers, while Honorable Third Party held the loss on the other side, making the exchange look less like a quick hit and more like a coordinated removal.
THE BREAK
Damage came in from multiple directions. Tauron Torres of Kinetic Diplomacy secured the final blow in an Eos, but the pressure before that was substantial: Arbren Esctra in a Talos, alongside several Kikimora pilots tied to Curatores Veritatis organisations, all appear in the damage list. The composition suggests the drill was not simply isolated and sniped, but steadily overwhelmed by a force willing to commit enough ships to make the target stay pinned.
THE LOSSES
The destruction of the Metenox Moon Drill accounted for 620.4 million ISK in destroyed value, with another 543.3 million ISK recovered as drops. The remaining material loss still makes the event feel expensive, especially for a structure carrying ore and gas stores. Magmatic Gas, Chromium, and Platinum were among the materials that survived the blast, while Silicates and Cobalt were listed among the assets lost with the hull.
WHY IT MATTERS
For Honorable Third Party and the Anoikis Equilibrium pilot listed as the victim, the loss of a Metenox Moon Drill is more than a single structure disappearing from the grid. It removes a piece of industrial infrastructure and leaves behind a costly wreck in a system where a sizeable force was already willing to commit. For Kinetic Diplomacy, the result reads as a successful hunt: a high-value structure caught, pressured, and ultimately destroyed before help or escape could change the outcome.
