THE CATCH
The fight in G-0Q86 appears to have centred on a single high-value target: a Phoenix piloted by Hellrazer of Death or Glory. What began and ended at the same moment on the record still carried the weight of a major capital loss, with the ship’s value and fittings pushing the total destruction to roughly 4B ISK. In a system where every capital commitment is a risk, that kind of exposure can turn a routine operation into a disaster in an instant.
THE BREAK
Out of the Blue. emerged as the force on the winning side, with 51 attackers credited in the engagement. The decisive pressure came from a cluster of Revelations, suggesting a concentrated capital response rather than a loose roaming skirmish. SkeletonWarrior004, SkeletonWarrior009, SkeletonWarrior006, and SkeletonWarrior008 all contributed heavy damage before My Revelation Alt delivered the final strike in another Revelation, sealing the Phoenix’s fate.
THE LOSSES
The Phoenix did not go quietly. The wreck left behind points to a ship that had been prepared for action: torpedoes were loaded in quantity, while fuel and combat supplies were consumed in the destruction. The loss of more than 60,000 Nitrogen Isotopes and over a thousand units of Strontium Clathrates suggests the ship was ready for serious commitment, making the outcome more painful than the hull value alone implies. A total of 3.3B ISK was destroyed, with 733.6M ISK recovered from the wreck.
WHY IT MATTERS
Even without a longer campaign context, the destruction of a Phoenix is never a trivial event. Capital ships are expensive to field, difficult to replace, and rarely lost without someone paying for a mistake, a trap, or a badly timed move. In G-0Q86, Out of the Blue. appears to have won the trade decisively, and Death or Glory is left with the kind of loss that can shape how carefully capitals are moved through the region from here on out.
