Nightmare Cut Down in Auner as 38-Ship Skirmish Breaks Open
A Nightmare worth 1.4 billion ISK was destroyed in Auner after a 38-pilot clash snapped shut around the prized battleship. The loss went to Test Alliance Please Ignore’s Revanch, but the final blow came from Nyx Waring’s Drake as Abyssal Booty Hunters and their allies piled in to finish the job.
THE CATCH
The fight in Auner was small enough to look like a hunt, but crowded enough to become dangerous in a hurry. Abyssal Booty Hunters anchored the attack, with support from allied pilots including Holier Than Thou., Katolis, and Altered Cartography Enterprises. Against that pressure, Revanch’s Nightmare stood out immediately as the kind of ship that can change the temperature of a system simply by appearing on grid.
THE BREAK
The engagement appears to have tightened fast once the Nightmare was isolated. Wako Stargrazer’s Muninn and Ennild Sed Ronuken’s Drake both landed heavy damage, while Hilonlis Levin Wessette in an Osprey Navy Issue added pressure from the Abyssal Booty Hunters side. By the time the final shots were being traded, the target had already burned through a large part of its staying power, including its reserves of Navy Cap Booster 800s.
THE LAST SHOT
Nyx Waring, also flying with Abyssal Booty Hunters in a Drake, delivered the final blow and brought the Nightmare down. The battleship was valued at 1.4 billion ISK overall, with about 1.2 billion ISK destroyed and just 211.4 million ISK recovered from the wreck. Among the surviving loot were nanite repair paste and Hornet EC-300 drones, while a stack of Aurora L ammunition and additional boosters were lost with the hull.
WHY IT MATTERS
For Test Alliance Please Ignore, losing a Nightmare in a fight of this size is a sharp and very visible setback. For Abyssal Booty Hunters and their partners, it was a clean payoff from a compact but committed attack. In a system where 38 pilots were already in play, the destruction of a ship of that class suggests the target was exposed at exactly the wrong moment—and that the hunters were ready to capitalize when it mattered most.
