THE CATCH
The loss happened almost instantly in Frulegur, suggesting this was less a drawn-out siege than a sharp interception. Jelo Pan Airu’s Orca, flown for Cosmos Origins through Cosmos Phoenix Reborn, was the clear prize: a costly industrial command ship carrying a hold full enough to make the kill sting well beyond the hull itself.
THE HUNT CLOSES
Seven attackers are recorded against the Orca, with Snuffed Out credited alongside support from a mixed field that included Leshaks, a Loki, an Arazu, and a Gnosis among the wider attackers involved. Cucumber ares, flying a Leshak, delivered the final blow after Wild Valenok’s own Leshak had already done nearly as much damage. The pressure was clearly enough to prevent any meaningful escape.
THE LOSSES
The Orca did not go quietly. Among the wreckage were compressed Blue Ice, a Sabre, a Huginn, and fitted modules that suggest the ship was carrying both value and the tools to keep itself alive a little longer. The destruction of 1.5 billion ISK in fittings and hull, with only 289.3 million ISK recovered, makes this a painful loss even before the time and effort wrapped up in the ship are counted.
WHAT IT SIGNALS
For Snuffed Out, the kill is a reminder that expensive industrial ships remain vulnerable when they are caught away from safety. For Cosmos Origins, it is the kind of setback that lingers: one ship destroyed, a valuable cargo erased, and a clean lesson in how quickly an Orca can turn from asset to liability when a hunting force commits. In Frulegur, the hunters got their prize and the target was left with nothing but the cost.
