Obelisk Crushed in Uedama After L.E.G.I.O.N Hunt Closes the Net
A 3.2 billion ISK Obelisk was brought down in Uedama after a 27-pilot strike group from L.E.G.I.O.N. caught the hauler and overwhelmed it with destroyers and battlecruisers before the final shot landed from a Catalyst flown by zLegion 19.
THE CATCH
The loss centred on a single Obelisk, a freighter that had no margin for error once L.E.G.I.O.N got hold of it. The ship belonged to Darya From of Alea jacta est., and the scale of the prize made the hunt immediately stand out: more than 3.2 billion ISK in total value, with 3.1 billion destroyed when the hull finally gave way.
THE PRESSURE
The attacking group appears to have committed 27 pilots to the kill, with 31 participants recorded overall in the engagement. L.E.G.I.O.N leaned on a familiar mix of Catalysts and a Talos, the kind of inexpensive, hard-hitting ships that can end a target quickly once it is pinned down. The freighter’s cargo told its own story too — water, exile, carbon, and other freight spilled into the wreckage, while other loads such as frozen plant seeds and metal scraps were lost with the ship.
THE BREAK
The final blow came from zLegion 19 in a Catalyst, but the damage had already been done by the group around him. zLegion 01 in a Talos put out the heaviest recorded damage, with several other Catalysts contributing steadily as the Obelisk was worn down under concentrated fire. Once the hauler was caught in the open, the outcome appears to have been only a matter of time.
WHY IT MATTERS
For Alea jacta est., the destruction of an Obelisk in Uedama is the kind of loss that stings far beyond the hull itself. Freighters are built to move value, and when one falls in a choke point system, the damage is not just financial but logistical. For L.E.G.I.O.N, it is a clean, expensive prize taken in one of New Eden’s most dangerous transit corridors.
