Pacifier Lost in a Brief Border Ambush in V1V-6F

A 1.5 billion ISK Pacifier was destroyed in V1V-6F in a sharply brief encounter that left little time for escape. The black-ops frigate of Ferrata Victrix pilot Fellessa Felo was caught and broken in a fight involving just three participants, with True Power taking credit for the kill.

THE CATCH

The loss came almost as soon as the engagement began. In V1V-6F, Fellessa Felo’s Pacifier was destroyed in a fight that appears to have been decided before it could turn into anything larger. With only three participants on the field, the encounter was small, fast, and unforgiving.

THE PRIZE

The ship itself made the event notable. A Pacifier is not the sort of hull pilots throw away casually, and this one carried a total value of 1.5 billion ISK. The wreck left behind shows how much of that value was either destroyed or recovered in the aftermath: 865.2 million ISK lost with the hull, and 587.6 million ISK dropped as spoil for the victor.

THE BREAK

The final blow was delivered by an unknown attacker flying a Sansha’s Dark Lord under the True Power banner. The damage was concentrated enough to finish the target decisively, suggesting the Pacifier was isolated at the critical moment rather than able to disengage. Among the items lost were Warpath Operational Intel and Warpath Strategic Data, while Sisters Core Scanner Probes were split between what dropped and what was destroyed.

WHY IT MATTERS

For Ferrata Victrix, the destruction of a costly specialist frigate is a sharp reminder that even nimble, high-end ships can be caught out when the moment turns bad. For True Power, it was a clean and expensive kill that turned a brief local clash into a meaningful loss for the other side.

Big Vantus Paid 15 Ships Toward Pochven's 72 Billion ISK Tab

Of the 47 ships destroyed in Ignebaener, 46 were, in ISK terms, background noise. The 47th was a Paladin valued at just under 57.5 billion ISK - close to four-fifths of everything the system destroyed in one sitting. One hull, one pilot, one very bad moment, and the number that will define this fight long after the killboards stop updating.

Brave Newbies Lost 21 Ships in 4-07MU and Shot Back With Interest

Somewhere around 19:25 UTC, a Caracal Navy Issue died in 4-07MU and 912 pilots decided that was a reasonable invitation. Two hours later the system had produced 200 wrecks, 67.2 billion ISK of damage, and not one capital ship - just battleship after battleship feeding itself into a fight that refused to end. The killboards call it a gank. The killboards are only half right.

The last thing an Avatar expects to be doing is dying in lowsec, but Amamake has been ruining plans for a very long time. Redux.'s Amarr Titan - one of the largest and most expensive warships in New Eden - came apart in the Heimatar system with roughly 1,166 pilots involved in the kill, and a price tag of 142.7 billion ISK attached to a single loss.
