THE CATCH
The loss centered on Ded Zadrot of HOLD MY PROBS, whose Nightmare was destroyed in 2ID-87 during a fast-moving engagement that appears to have left little room for recovery. The ship did not simply drift out of the fight on its own terms; it was brought down in a crowded encounter where Brotherhood of Spacers emerged as the winning side.
THE KILLING BLOW
The final strike came from Kap Plaude flying an Apocalypse Navy Issue, after a burst of damage from multiple Brotherhood of Spacers ships and allied firepower. Several Apocalypse Navy Issues were involved in the attack, suggesting the Nightmare was under sustained pressure rather than a single opportunistic shot. By the time the end came, the expensive battleship had already lost most of its value in the exchange, with only a fraction of the total cost dropping back into space.
THE LOSSES
What was left behind told the story of a ship that had been prepared to stay in the fight. Nanite Repair Paste, Navy Cap Booster 800s, Hornet EC-300 drones, and Imperial Navy ammunition were all either destroyed or scattered in the wreckage. The fitted modules and cargo together underline how much was committed to keeping the Nightmare alive — and how completely that effort failed.
WHY IT MATTERS
For HOLD MY PROBS, the destruction of a Nightmare is the kind of loss that is felt immediately: expensive, visible, and hard to dismiss. For Brotherhood of Spacers, it was a clean prize taken in a dense engagement where numbers mattered and the target could not escape the pressure. In EVE, battles are often remembered less for their length than for the ship that failed to make it out, and in 2ID-87 the Nightmare became that ship.
