Nidhoggur Breaks in C-J6MT as Fraternity. Lands 4.2B ISK Catch

A Goonswarm Federation Nidhoggur was caught and destroyed in C-J6MT in a fast, concentrated engagement that left the carrier-class logistics hull exposed to Fraternity. pressure. The loss, worth 4.2 billion ISK, ended with a Vedmak landing the final blow while a larger cluster of pilots closed in around the target.

THE CATCH

The fight in C-J6MT appears to have come down to a single expensive target held in place long enough for Fraternity. to finish the job. Against 46 participants in the wider clash, the Nidhoggur became the centre of attention, drawing damage from multiple attackers as the window to save it narrowed. What might have been a brief escape instead turned into a decisive catch.

THE BREAK

The pressure on the carrier was sustained and varied. Among the attackers listed were Vedmaks and a Cenotaph, with Fraternity. pilots doing much of the damage before Symphony Black of Fraternity. secured the final blow in a Vedmak. The spread of fire suggests the target was being pinned down rather than simply traded against, with the attackers maintaining enough presence to stop a clean withdrawal.

THE LOSSES

Taiji QI of Goonswarm Federation, flying for Core Industry., lost the Nidhoggur along with a mix of cargo and fittings that underline how heavily the ship had been prepared for the field. Hydrogen Isotopes, Cap Booster 3200 charges, Gram I and Dragonfly I drones were among the items caught up in the destruction or the aftermath. The ship itself accounted for 3.3 billion ISK of the loss, while another 908 million ISK in assets was recovered or survived the wreck.

WHY IT MATTERS

A carrier loss is never just another wreck, and the Nidhoggur stands out as a costly prize even in a busy border system. For Fraternity., the kill shows the value of committing enough pilots to hold a target in place and finish it quickly; for Goonswarm Federation, it is a reminder of how quickly an expensive hull can be isolated and erased once the trap closes. In C-J6MT, the fight resolved in the most New Eden way possible: fast, expensive, and unforgiving.

Big Vantus Paid 15 Ships Toward Pochven's 72 Billion ISK Tab

Of the 47 ships destroyed in Ignebaener, 46 were, in ISK terms, background noise. The 47th was a Paladin valued at just under 57.5 billion ISK - close to four-fifths of everything the system destroyed in one sitting. One hull, one pilot, one very bad moment, and the number that will define this fight long after the killboards stop updating.

Brave Newbies Lost 21 Ships in 4-07MU and Shot Back With Interest

Somewhere around 19:25 UTC, a Caracal Navy Issue died in 4-07MU and 912 pilots decided that was a reasonable invitation. Two hours later the system had produced 200 wrecks, 67.2 billion ISK of damage, and not one capital ship - just battleship after battleship feeding itself into a fight that refused to end. The killboards call it a gank. The killboards are only half right.

Solyaris Chtonium Killed Redux.'s Avatar as 1,166 Pilots Watched

The last thing an Avatar expects to be doing is dying in lowsec, but Amamake has been ruining plans for a very long time. Redux.'s Amarr Titan - one of the largest and most expensive warships in New Eden - came apart in the Heimatar system with roughly 1,166 pilots involved in the kill, and a price tag of 142.7 billion ISK attached to a single loss.

Warlock Industries Alliance Lost 52 Billion ISK. It Wasn't Even a Capital.

Fifty-two point nine billion ISK, gone. One killmail. Eight hundred and forty-seven pilots on the record. Amamake has swallowed fleets, capitals, and more than a few alliances' sense of direction over the years. It has rarely swallowed 52.9 billion ISK in a single ship that was not even a capital. The victim was the Sarathiel, flying under the banner of Warlock Industries Alliance. The credited killer was Minmatar Fleet Associates. And every one of those 847 names belongs to the same kill.
