Naglfar Falls in 4-HWWF as 68 Pilots Close on a 4.1B ISK Prize

A Naglfar worth 4.1 billion ISK was overwhelmed and destroyed in 4-HWWF as a 68-pilot fight closed around the capital-sized target. The dreadnought belonged to Dr Volt of Death or Glory, and its loss left only wreckage, scattered ammunition, and a modest amount of salvage behind after Apocalypse Now. and allied attackers finished the job.

THE CATCH

The engagement appears to have turned on a single exposed capital: Dr Volt’s Naglfar, flying for Death or Glory through 4-HWWF, was caught in a fight that drew in 68 participants overall. What might have been a manageable escape instead became a high-value collapse once the attackers committed enough force to hold the dreadnought down and keep it from slipping free.

THE PRESSURE BUILDS

Apocalypse Now. is the named attacker on the loss, but the damage profile suggests the strike was reinforced by heavier allies. Fraternity. pilots accounted for the bulk of the listed damage, with Dropping Dream in an Aeon and Humeng TT in a Zirnitra both contributing large portions of the punishment. That mix of ships suggests a coordinated escalation rather than a quick opportunistic hit, with capital fire helping grind the Naglfar into a losing position.

THE BREAK

The final blow went to Niko Falcon, flying a Loki for Apocalypse Now., but the kill was already all but decided by the time the cruiser landed the finishing volley. The Naglfar’s stores were torn apart in the process: Hail XL was largely destroyed, while hydrogen isotopes and Barrage XL were among the items that slipped into the wreckage. Strontium clathrates also vanished with the ship, a reminder that the dreadnought had the fittings to keep fighting if it had found a way out.

THE LOSSES

For Death or Glory and its Puerto Sombra pilot, the cost was immediate and severe. The destroyed hull alone accounted for 3.8 billion ISK of the total, with only 277.4 million ISK recovered as loot. In a fight that lasted only a moment in the record but involved a substantial amount of firepower, the Naglfar stood out as the prize—and the casualty—that defined the clash.

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.
