Nyx Lost in AFJ-NB After Zirnitra Lands the Final Blow
A Nyx-class supercarrier worth 52.4 billion ISK was destroyed in AFJ-NB after a 12-ship force from Alibaba Federation of Logistics and Purchasing brought down the capital vessel piloted by nine Jack of AWAKE LIONS. The final blow came from Vevelonel en Welle in a Zirnitra, ending the supercarrier’s escape or resistance in a brief but costly encounter.
THE CATCH
The engagement in AFJ-NB was short, but the result was severe. One Nyx supercarrier was destroyed, turning what appears to have been a tightly focused hunt into a major capital loss. With 12 attackers involved and only a single victim recorded, the fight suggests the supercarrier was isolated and caught before it could slip free.
THE KILL
Alibaba Federation of Logistics and Purchasing is listed as the attacking organization, while the destroyed Nyx belonged to nine Jack of AWAKE LIONS. The final blow was delivered by Vevelonel en Welle flying a Zirnitra, a detail that underlines just how much firepower was committed to finish the ship once it had been pinned down. For a hull of that size and cost, there is nothing routine about the moment it goes up in flames.
THE COST
The loss is measured at 52.4 billion ISK, making this one of the more punishing single-ship destructions to come out of the system. A Nyx is not a disposable asset; losing one means the pilot’s side has not just lost a ship, but a capital presence that is expensive to replace and difficult to commit casually again.
WHY IT MATTERS
With only 12 participants recorded and no wider fleet battle attached to the event, this reads as a sharp, decisive strike rather than a sprawling engagement. That makes the destruction of the Nyx stand out even more: a single lapse in safety, timing, or support was enough to produce a loss that will be felt well beyond the grid in AFJ-NB.
