Occator Hauling Fullerite Cache Caught and Destroyed in Josameto
A heavily laden Occator was caught and destroyed in Josameto after a brief six-pilot clash that left CreepShow Entertainment paying for a shipment it could not keep moving. The hauler went down with a mixed cargo of fullerite and Sleeper salvage, turning a routine transit into a 2.6 billion ISK loss.
THE CATCH
The fight in Josameto appears to have centered on a single, valuable industrial target: Hans I’s Occator, flying for CreepShow Entertainment and The Stellar Paradox. With six pilots involved overall and three attackers credited with the decisive damage, Novus Ordo. found the hauler exposed at exactly the wrong moment. The ship’s cargo made the prize more than just another transport kill — this was a moving stack of wormhole materials and salvage, the sort of load that invites hunters to commit quickly and hard.
THE TAKEDOWN
The final blow came from yearb in an Oracle, with wito also applying substantial damage in another Oracle and wepo contributing in a Gnosis. That mix suggests a fast, hard-hitting interception rather than a drawn-out brawl. Once the Occator was pinned down, the damage landed decisively, and the hauler was broken before it could escape with its payload intact.
THE CARGO LOST
The destruction split the total value almost evenly between what was lost with the ship and what spilled into space. About 1.4 billion ISK was destroyed, while 1.2 billion ISK dropped. Among the notable cargo were nearly 10,000 Fullerite-C32, more than 1,800 Fullerite-C50, 6,000 units of compressed Fullerite-C50 destroyed in the blast, over 1,500 Fullerite-C28 lost, and 596 Sleeper Data Libraries reduced to wreckage. For any industrial pilot, that is the kind of cargo profile that turns a single interception into a painful write-off.
THE CONSEQUENCE
For CreepShow Entertainment, the loss of an Occator in Josameto is costly not just because of the hull itself, but because of what it was carrying and the ease with which Novus Ordo. appears to have secured the kill. In EVE, a transport ship is only as safe as the moment it is caught, and this one was caught carrying a fortune. The result is a sharp reminder that even in a small engagement, a few well-positioned attackers can turn a hauler’s routine route into a headline loss.
