Naglfar Destroyed in a 4.8 Billion ISK Strike in T22-QI

A Naglfar belonging to The Ancients. was caught and destroyed in T22-QI, ending a brief but costly engagement that drew 33 pilots into the system and left 4.8 billion ISK in wreckage. The dreadnought was brought down by Cynosural Field Theory., with the final blow credited to Jubb Lees in a Moros Navy Issue.

THE CATCH

The engagement in T22-QI lasted no time at all on the clock, but it was long enough to turn a single capital ship into a major loss. Obsidian Scar of The Ancients., flying under Dies Irae, lost a Naglfar after Cynosural Field Theory. closed in with 25 attackers recorded on the field. For a ship of that class, there is no room for hesitation once it is pinned down.

THE PRESSURE CLOSES

The attacking side brought its own capital weight to bear, with Moros Navy Issue hulls doing much of the work. Damagebladee, Zemion Nardieu, Rylver Charante, Archie175, and Jubb Lees all contributed to the destruction, suggesting the target was under sustained fire rather than caught by a single sudden volley. The Naglfar’s cargo and fittings tell the same story: hydrogen isotopes were recovered, while large quantities of XL ammunition were lost with the ship.

THE FINAL BLOW

Jubb Lees delivered the final shot from a Moros Navy Issue, sealing the fate of the dreadnought and ending any chance of escape. At 4.8 billion ISK, the loss is significant on its own; the destruction of 3.4 billion ISK in hull and fittings, with only 1.3 billion ISK recovered, makes the result even starker. This was not a routine tackle gone wrong, but the loss of a capital asset under concentrated pressure.

THE AFTERMATH

For The Ancients., the destruction of a Naglfar in T22-QI represents more than a single expensive ship lost to the grid. It removes a powerful asset from play and hands Cynosural Field Theory. a clear victory in a short, sharp fight. In New Eden, these are the moments that matter: a brief opening, a capital exposed, and a hunter’s fleet ready when it counted.

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.
