Otanuomi Fight Ends in 13.8 Billion ISK Loss for Project Oasis and Allies

A prolonged clash in Otanuomi left a 13.8 billion ISK wreck behind and scattered losses across both sides, with Project Oasis and Observatory Great Bear and allies taking the larger hit as Fraternity., Northern Coalition., and other partners pressed the fight over nearly three hours.

THE ENGAGEMENT UNFOLDS

The fight in Otanuomi ran from 14:23 UTC until 17:20 UTC, suggesting a drawn-out engagement rather than a brief interception. A total of 54 pilots appear to have been involved, with the battle report pointing to forces from Fraternity. and Northern Coalition., alongside others, opposed a mixed group including Project Oasis and Observatory Great Bear, and allies.

THE HEAVY LOSS

The largest destruction of the day was the 13.8 billion ISK loss tied to Otanuomi itself. Project Oasis and Observatory Great Bear, and others absorbed the bulk of the financial damage, with the report showing more than 12.2 billion ISK in losses on their side versus roughly 1.48 billion ISK for the opposing coalition. That gap suggests one side came away from the fight far worse off, even if both formations bled ships in the exchange.

SHIPS LEFT BEHIND

The wreckage was not limited to a single high-value loss. Muninns accounted for the largest share of ship losses, followed by Proteus strategic cruisers, with smaller numbers of Crows, Sabres, a Claymore, and a Heron also destroyed. The composition points to a fight that reached well beyond a single target and into the supporting ships that keep an engagement moving.

THE TURNING POINT

The damage distribution suggests Fraternity. and Northern Coalition., with support from Test Alliance Please Ignore, Solyaris Chtonium, and Apocalypse Now., held enough control to grind down the opposing force over time. The battle did not end cleanly or quickly; instead, it appears to have ended with one side unable to preserve its more valuable assets, turning a contested clash into an expensive setback.

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.
