Nidhoggur Cut Down in Maila as Hunters Close the Net

A Nidhoggur worth 4.5 billion ISK was destroyed in Maila after a 15-participant engagement that saw attackers from Best Cool Stories and DarkSide. bring down the carrier in a concentrated strike. The final blow came from Blan’s Leshak, ending the ship’s fight and leaving only wreckage, fuel, and drones behind.

THE CATCH

The Nidhoggur belonged to Therion Darkstar of Incorporeal Conglomerate Society, flying under the Operation Myriad banner when it was caught in Maila. The engagement appears to have been a tight, limited fight rather than a sprawling fleet clash, with just 15 participants involved. That small number makes the result more striking: a capital ship was exposed, engaged, and destroyed before it could force a way clear.

THE PRESSURE BUILDS

The attackers were not a single overwhelming wave, but a mix of pressure from Best Cool Stories and DarkSide. ships. The damage profile suggests a coordinated collapse onto one high-value target, with Teresa Leventis in a Machariel and Piter O'Nil in a Hyperion contributing heavily before Blan’s Leshak landed the decisive volley. The Nidhoggur took 3.9 billion ISK in damage before the rest of the hull was stripped away.

THE BREAK

Once the carrier started to fail, the fight became about speed and certainty. The final blow from Blan ended any hope of escape, and the wreck left behind a notable spread of fighter equipment and fuel. Among what was recovered were 100,000 Hydrogen Isotopes and 48 Firbolg I drones, while several other drones were destroyed with the hull, a reminder that even a capital’s hangar can vanish in moments when the trap closes properly.

WHY IT MATTERS

For Incorporeal Conglomerate Society, the loss of a Nidhoggur is expensive in any language New Eden speaks. A ship like this is never just another wreck; it is a strategic asset, a logistical anchor, and a sign that someone was willing to commit it into danger. Maila now has one more capital loss attached to it, and the hunters who secured the kill will have taken away both a major prize and a visible reminder of how quickly a carrier can be isolated and brought down.

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.

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.
