Nestor Crushed in a Sudden C-XNUA Skirmish
A Fraternity. Nestor worth 3.3 billion ISK was destroyed in C-XNUA after Out of the Blue. caught the ship in a tight, fast-moving skirmish that left little room for escape. The loss came in a small fight of ten pilots, but the value at stake made it the kind of kill that lingers long after the grid goes quiet.
THE TARGET
The centerpiece of the engagement was EDXMON’s Nestor, flown for Fraternity. by KheshigFleet. The strategic cruiser was not just another casualty: it carried costly fittings, including a Centus X-Type EM Armor Hardener, a Republic Fleet Large Cap Battery, and Caldari Navy equipment that pushed the total value of the ship to 3.3 billion ISK. In a fight this small, a ship like that stands out immediately.
THE BREAK
Out of the Blue. fielded eight attackers in the clash, with huabuyu delivering the final blow in an Exequror Navy Issue. Fraternity. had several Thunderchilds on grid, and the damage output suggests the Nestor was under immediate and sustained pressure once contact was made. The exchange appears to have been brutal and short-lived, with no sign that the Nestor was able to disengage before the attack closed around it.
THE LOSSES
The Nestor did not even survive long enough to preserve all of its fittings. Some modules were recovered, but others were destroyed outright, including a Caldari Navy Large Graviton Smartbomb and an Imperial Navy Cap Recharger. That mix of drops and losses leaves the impression of a ship caught at the wrong moment, expensive enough to hurt and exposed enough to be stripped apart in the process.
WHY IT MATTERS
A single cruiser-sized loss would barely register in many parts of New Eden, but a 3.3 billion ISK Nestor in a ten-pilot engagement is a very different matter. For Fraternity., the destruction of a high-value ship in C-XNUA is a reminder that even in compact skirmishes, one mistake can turn into a costly headline. For Out of the Blue., it is a clean and memorable prize.
