Naglfar Caught and Broken in 1I5-0V Fight

A 4.7 billion ISK Naglfar was brought down in 1I5-0V after a brief but costly fight that drew 57 pilots into the grid and ended with six ships lost. The capital was the prize the attackers wanted, and once it was committed, Fraternity. and Insidious. appear to have pressed the advantage until the dreadnought was left without a way out.

THE CATCH

The engagement unfolded in 1I5-0V between 14:18 and 14:23 UTC, with Fraternity. and Insidious. on the attacking side and pilots from Big Green Fly and Lunar Luminescence in the crosshairs. What began as a short clash quickly turned into a concentrated hunt, with the attackers fielding enough force to keep pressure on the target until the heavier ship could no longer hold the field.

THE NAGLFAR

The most striking loss was WEIyunzhao’s Naglfar of Lunar Luminescence, flown by DED Battle Sisters Convent Sanctorum. Worth 4.7 billion ISK, the dreadnought was the clear centerpiece of the fight. It carried a substantial loadout, with ammunition and isotope reserves split between what was recovered and what was burned away in the wreckage, suggesting the ship had been fully committed rather than lightly fitted for a quick pass through dangerous space.

THE BREAK

The final blow came from pangudashen Togenada in a Sacrilege, with support from a Fraternity. group that included heavy damage from a Cenotaph, Exequror Navy Issue, and Vedmaks. That mix suggests the defenders were worn down under sustained pressure rather than overwhelmed in a single strike. Alongside the dreadnought, four Paladins and a capsule were also destroyed, turning the engagement into a significant material loss rather than a lone capital slip.

THE COST

In total, the fight erased 17.7 billion ISK in ships and modules, and the casualty list points to a sharp, focused exchange rather than a sprawling fleet war. For Lunar Luminescence and Big Green Fly, losing a Naglfar in so short a window is the kind of setback that is hard to hide. For Fraternity. and Insidious., it was a clean demonstration that an exposed capital in 1I5-0V could be isolated, punished, and finished before the defenders could reset the field.

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.
