Orca Falls to a Small Hunting Gang in M2-CF1
An Orca worth 1.6 billion ISK was brought down in M2-CF1 after an 8-pilot Intaki-Business Logistics Union group caught the industrial ship exposed in the system. The loss leaves another reminder that even a support vessel built for utility can become a prize when a hunting gang gets close enough to close the net.
THE CATCH
The kill came together quickly in M2-CF1, where Pyrvanen Keikira’s Orca was destroyed in a fight involving 14 pilots overall. What began as a single industrial loss became a clear hunting success for Intaki-Business Logistics Union, with the final blow delivered by Abraham Solis flying a Deimos. The ship’s value alone made the encounter notable; the Orca is not a casual catch, and this one carried the kind of price tag that invites attention wherever it appears.
THE HUNTING GANG
The attacking group appears to have brought a balanced package to the engagement. Deimos heavy assault cruisers did the hardest work, while a Lachesis, a Curse, and a Magus added pressure around the target. That mix suggests a small but purposeful roaming force, one built to pin down a valuable ship before it could slip away. Abraham Solis landed the final blow, but Mina Shirakawa’s Deimos was the top damage dealer in the attack, underlining how quickly the Orca was overwhelmed once the attackers committed.
THE LOSS
The wreck left behind only a modest amount of the Orca’s fitting and cargo. Most of the vessel’s value was destroyed outright, with just 13.3 million ISK reported as recovered. Among the goods that survived were heavy water and shield harmonizing and mining-related charges, a reminder that this was an industrial ship carrying the tools of its trade when the hunters found it. For State War Academy’s Pyrvanen Keikira, the escape window appears to have closed before the Orca could be extricated.
WHY IT MATTERS
An Orca loss of this scale is not the sort of event that disappears quietly. In M2-CF1, the destruction of a 1.6 billion ISK industrial hull shows how vulnerable expensive support ships can be when a coordinated gang gets the tackle right. For Intaki-Business Logistics Union, it was a clean prize taken from a passing target. For everyone else in the area, it is a sharp reminder that a ship built to support others can still be hunted down and broken in moments.
