THE CATCH
The fight was over almost as soon as it began, but the target was substantial enough to make the moment count. In K-MGJ7, a 10-participant engagement centred on jin ko82’s Odysseus, a ship carrying an estimated 3 billion ISK in value. The loss was not routine: this was the kind of expensive hull that only appears in space when someone is willing to take real risk, or has misjudged who else is nearby.
THE ATTACKERS CLOSE IN
The destruction came from a coordinated mix of ships rather than a single predator. Death or Glory appears alongside Can i bring my Drake... in the attack, with Todaki Nolen’s Machariel delivering the deciding shot. Other vessels involved included a Vexor, a Sleipnir, a Flycatcher, and a Drekavac, suggesting the target was pinned by a small but varied force that could apply pressure from multiple angles.
THE BREAK
Once the Odysseus was trapped, the damage piled up quickly. The ship lost 2.7 billion ISK worth of fittings and hull, while only 327.1 million ISK in loot appears to have been recovered. Among the wreckage were expedition charges, datacores, auxiliary parts, and nanite repair paste — the sort of cargo that hints at a vessel built for work far from the safety of a station, and all the more painful to lose when the net closes around it.
THE COST
For BobVult, the loss of jin ko82’s Odysseus is the sort of event that lingers well beyond the wreck itself. Even without a larger battle attached to it, a 3 billion ISK ship represents a serious setback, and the involvement of multiple attackers suggests the target was found, pinned, and finished before an escape could take shape. In New Eden, that is often enough to turn a single encounter into a memorable warning.
