Paladin Lost in QRH-BF as Infested Carrier Lands the Final Blow
A Paladin worth 2.4 billion ISK was destroyed in QRH-BF in a brief fight that left little room for escape. The Marauder, flown by FlyMeToTheMoon555 of HOLD MY PROBS, was brought down by an attacker in an Infested Carrier, ending the engagement almost as soon as it began.
THE CATCH
The encounter in QRH-BF involved just two participants, but the result was anything but minor. Against an unidentified hostile force listed as Unaligned attackers, the Paladin became the clear centrepiece of the fight. For a ship of that class, every moment outside support is a dangerous one, and this one appears to have ended before help could matter.
THE FINAL BLOW
The decisive damage came from an attacker in an Infested Carrier, an unusual and intimidating ship to see on the field in a small engagement. The final blow was credited to an unknown pilot operating under the Unaligned attackers label, suggesting the target was caught by opportunistic force rather than a named fleet. The Paladin itself absorbed 143,094 points of damage before being destroyed.
THE LOSSES
The ship’s destruction accounted for the full 2.4 billion ISK value of the exchange. Roughly 1.4 billion ISK was destroyed outright, while about 1 billion ISK dropped from the wreck. Among the cargo and fittings recovered or lost were Nanite Repair Paste, multiple ammunition stocks including Scorch L and Conflagration L, and Imperial Navy Multifrequency L, underscoring that this was a combat-ready Marauder rather than a stripped hull.
THE AFTERMATH
For HOLD MY PROBS and pilot FlyMeToTheMoon555, the loss of a Paladin is a sharp reminder of how quickly a high-value ship can vanish when isolated. Even a one-on-one-looking encounter can turn lethal the instant an attacker lands the right ship at the right time. In QRH-BF, that timing belonged to the Infested Carrier, and the Marauder never got the chance to answer back.
