Nidhoggur Lost in Sudden H-W9TY Ambush
A Fraternity. Nidhoggur was destroyed in H-W9TY in a brief but costly clash that left no room for escape. The carrier-class vessel, flown by Lord Teknorc of CENTURIONES IMPERIALES, was brought down by an unaligned attacker flying a Guristas Dreadnought, turning what appears to have been a small encounter into a 4.5 billion ISK loss for the victim.
THE CATCH
The engagement in H-W9TY was over almost as soon as it began, with just two participants recorded and a single ship lost. Even so, the loss was anything but routine: a Nidhoggur is not the sort of hull that disappears quietly, and its destruction suggests the target was isolated at exactly the wrong moment.
THE KILLING BLOW
Lord Teknorc’s carrier was finished by an unknown attacker in a Guristas Dreadnought, an unusual and imposing final blow that gives the encounter an especially sharp edge. The Nidhoggur took 453,207 damage before collapsing, with 3.9 billion ISK destroyed and a further 595.8 million ISK dropping into the wreckage. Among the debris were large stores of Hydrogen Isotopes, ammunition, and Siren II drones, hinting at a ship that was not empty when it was caught.
THE LOSS
For Fraternity., the destruction of a Nidhoggur is a painful reminder of how quickly a capital ship can become vulnerable once the field turns against it. The victim’s organization, ship choice, and the scale of the loss combine to make this more than a simple skirmish; it is the kind of blow that stings because of what was committed and what was left behind.
WHY IT MATTERS
At 4.5 billion ISK, the loss stands out even in a universe where capital ships are expected to take risks. In a system like H-W9TY, a brief engagement can still carry serious consequences, and this one appears to have rewarded the attacker’s timing with a high-value prize while leaving Fraternity. with an expensive wreck and a short story they likely would rather forget.
