THE CATCH
The loss came in a one-versus-one encounter on paper, though the report shows the attacker operating under the banner of Unaligned attackers. The target was Andrey1104 of Fanatic Legion., flying a Nidhoggur through 0LY-W1 when the ship was brought down by an Unknown attacker in a Gist Seraphim. The engagement lasted only a moment, but the price of that moment was severe.
THE BLOW FINDS ITS MARK
The final strike landed from the Gist Seraphim after 339,737 damage done, enough to finish a carrier that had no room to recover once caught. With 3.7 billion ISK destroyed and 916.7 million ISK recovered, the wreck shows a ship that was still carrying meaningful value when it was forced into its last stand. The Nidhoggur’s collapse also saw 94,476 units of Hydrogen Isotopes destroyed, underlining how much of its operational life went down with it.
THE LOSSES
The carrier was not empty when it died. Its bays carried Einherji II and Einherji I fighters, some of which were dropped and some lost outright, while multiple Mobile Tractor Units were split between destruction and recovery. Those details suggest a ship working in space, not merely parked and forgotten, which makes the destruction feel even less forgiving. Once a Nidhoggur is exposed, every asset it carries becomes part of the price.
WHY IT MATTERS
For Fanatic Legion. and pilot Andrey1104, this was more than a routine ship loss. A Nidhoggur is never an incidental casualty, and a 4.6 billion ISK destruction in a single engagement is the sort of event that immediately reshapes the cost of operating in the area. In 0LY-W1, the report captures a clean, decisive punishment: one carrier found vulnerable, one attacker willing to commit, and one expensive ship that never made it clear.
