Occator Convoy Hit Hard in Bagodan Ambush

A 3.5 billion ISK Occator was caught and destroyed in Bagodan in a sharp 10-pilot engagement, with R.E.M.N.A.N.T.S and allied ships applying the pressure before Delta4a’s Hound landed the final blow. The haul suggests the transport was carrying a valuable cargo, and the loss left little room for a clean escape.

THE CATCH

The attack unfolded in Bagodan in a fight that was small in numbers but heavy in consequence. On one side was CreepShow Entertainment’s Greasyforehead in an Occator, a ship built to move valuable cargo through dangerous space. On the other was R.E.M.N.A.N.T.S, with support from Vendetta Mercenary Group ships appearing in the damage tally. The result was one of those brief, violent encounters that can turn a transport run into a disaster in moments.

THE PRESSURE BUILDS

The final engagement involved 10 participants, but the pressure on the Occator came from a concentrated attacking group. Delta4a’s Hound dealt the finishing damage, while Ecch0’s Gnosis and Heron l’s Thrasher added sustained harm before the target went down. Even with some allied presence on the field, the defense could not hold the transport alive long enough to shake free.

THE PRIZE

What made the loss sting was what the ship was carrying. Of the 3.5 billion ISK total value tied to the destruction, 2.7 billion ISK appears to have dropped, while 783.9 million ISK was destroyed with the hull. The listed contents point to a cargo of salvage and components, with items such as Fried Interface Circuit, Charred Micro Circuit, Malfunctioning Shield Emitter, Ward Console, and Damaged Artificial Neural Network among the contents lost or recovered from the wreck.

THE CONSEQUENCE

For CreepShow Entertainment, the destruction of an Occator in Bagodan is the kind of setback that can ripple well beyond a single ship loss. For R.E.M.N.A.N.T.S, it reads like a successful hunt: a transport caught in the open, pinned down, and finished before it could escape. In New Eden, that is often enough — a brief encounter, a costly wreck, and a reminder that even a logistics hull can become the centerpiece of a very expensive mistake.

Scan Stakan Killed 55 Ships and Lost 186 in the Same Fight

E-WMT7 produced 376 killmails, somewhere around 134 billion ISK of wreckage, and one battleship worth more than a force auxiliary, a Nestor and a Typhoon Fleet Issue put together. The number that stings harder is 186. That is how many ships Scan Stakan lost in the same engagement in which they killed 55 - top of the kill list and top of the loss list, in a single three-and-a-half-hour afternoon.

x Never Regret x Takes 40 Kills as Raa Burns 26 Capitals

At 17:28 UTC, a Retriever died in Raa. Retrievers die constantly, and in Devoid that is more or less the job description. This one is only worth mentioning because of what followed it: for the next hundred minutes, a system on the edge of Amarr space turned into a scrapyard, and by the time the last shot landed at 19:10, 87 ships had been destroyed and the bill had reached 157.4 billion ISK. Almost half of that was one Revelation.

Rattini Tribe and Prime Directive. Split Dal's 192 Billion ISK Bill

An Amarr Shuttle belonging to G0lden Fleet. died in Dal at 16:15 UTC. That is not normally the opening line of a 192 billion ISK story, but Dal spent the next three hours and forty-one minutes making sure nobody forgot it. By the time the last capsule in the system - belonging to x Never Regret x - came apart at 19:56, 557 pilots had produced 516 confirmed losses, fourteen capital ships had been wrecked, and the Heimatar system had eaten just over 192 billion ISK. That is not a skirmish somebody stumbled into. That is a decision, made over and over, for the better part of four hours.

Brave Newbies Topped Both Sides of the HY-RWO Ledger

The first ship to die in HY-RWO was a Rokh worth 44.7 billion ISK, and it set the tone for everything that came after. Over the following hour, 1,883 pilots fought in the Catch system, 243 ships were destroyed, and around 205 billion ISK was removed from the economy one killmail at a time. Not a single capital ship died. In a fight of that size, the most expensive losses were ordinary battleships, fitted in a way that makes the word 'ordinary' sound absurd.
