Nightmare Cut Down in Frulegur After Short, Violent Hunt

A Nightmare worth roughly 2 billion ISK was destroyed in Frulegur after a small group pinned down and finished the ship in a fast, violent exchange. The kill went to Hiurbi CORP’s Hiurbi Bohsabsah flying a Widow, with support from other attackers including a Vindicator, Rapier, and Arazu, turning the encounter into a coordinated catch rather than a lone ambush.

THE CATCH

The loss centered on Chunky Boirelle of Z.E.D Industries, whose Nightmare was destroyed in Frulegur at 22:05 UTC. The ship was a serious prize on its own, and the engagement suggests it was caught in an exposed moment before it could break free. With ten pilots involved overall, this was not a casual scrape but a focused interception that left the battleship with nowhere safe to go.

THE PRESSURE CLOSES

Hiurbi CORP took the final blow, but the wider picture points to a mixed tackle and damage effort around the target. Hiurbi Bohsabsah’s Widow landed the finishing strike, while Wild Valenok in a Vindicator contributed the largest share of damage among the named attackers. Nasbashov Ibruin’s Rapier and Eyldur Berodald’s Arazu were also present, suggesting the Nightmare was being held in place long enough for the damage to pile up.

THE LOSSES

The destruction was significant even by the standards of high-end ship losses. About 1.5 billion ISK was destroyed with another 517.4 million ISK dropping from the wreck, and the cargo fit shows the ship was operating with serious combat stores: Navy Cap Booster 800 charges, Hornet EC-300 drones, and Imperial Navy Radio L all featured among the contents lost or recovered. For Z.E.D Industries, the wreck left behind more than a hull — it was a costly battlefield setback.

WHAT IT MEANS

For Hiurbi CORP, the Frulegur kill reads like the result of disciplined pressure rather than a lucky shot. A Nightmare is not an easy target to pin down, and the combination of a Widow, heavy support damage, and tackle ships points to a hunt that was set up well enough to deny escape. In a region where a single mistake can mean the loss of a capital-priced battleship, this was the kind of brief engagement that leaves a lasting mark.

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.

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.
