Nestor and Paladin Lost in a Swift Strike Over Roua
A brief but costly clash in Roua left Fraternity. short two expensive ships, with a Nestor and a Paladin destroyed in the span of seconds. The fight involved only a handful of ships, but the price tag climbed to 4.9 billion ISK before the smoke cleared.
THE CATCH
The engagement unfolded quickly in Roua between a small group of unaligned attackers and Fraternity. pilots. With only three participants recorded across the action, the fight appears to have been more of a sharp interception than a prolonged exchange. Even so, the losses were anything but small.
THE NESTOR FALLS
The heaviest blow landed on niewii-Echo of Fraternity., whose Nestor was destroyed with a final strike from an attacker in a Yulai Crus Cerebi. The ship carried a mix of support and energy-transfer fittings, including a 'Peace' Large Remote Armor Repairer, a Republic Fleet Large Cap Battery, and a Large Remote Capacitor Transmitter II. At 2.7 billion ISK, the loss alone made the skirmish memorable.
A SECOND CAPITAL-CLASS PRIZE
The Nestor was not the only expensive hull caught in the net. A Paladin was also lost in the same brief encounter, turning what might have been a painful setback into a far more costly one. The pair of wrecks suggests the attackers found Fraternity. exposed at exactly the wrong moment, leaving little room to recover or disengage.
THE COST OF A SHORT FIGHT
For a battle that lasted less than half a minute, the consequences were severe. Two high-value hulls gone in one encounter is the sort of result that can sting long after the grid has cleared, especially when the attackers committed only a small force. In Roua, the engagement was over almost as soon as it began — but the damage was already done.
