Phoenix Destroyed in 5.2B ISK Ambush in Korridi

A Phoenix supercarrier was caught and destroyed in Korridi in a swift 5.2 billion ISK strike that brought Pandemic Legion and allied heavy hulls down on Solitarius Forti’s capital ship. The fight was brief on the clock, but the scale was anything but: 25 pilots were involved, and the Phoenix, flown by PhoenixHeart, did not escape the net once it closed.

THE CATCH

The engagement in Korridi appears to have ended as quickly as it began, with Pandemic Legion anchoring the attack and 14 credited attackers contributing to the destruction of the Phoenix. The target stood out immediately as the sort of ship that changes the tone of any encounter — expensive, heavily committed, and hard to lose cleanly once it is under pressure.

THE HEAVY GUNS

The attackers brought serious weight to bear. Final damage came from Revoluti0nx in a Revelation Navy Issue, while Zirnitra hulls from Pandemic Legion, Thievery Corp, and Warping The Pattern added sustained pressure. That combination suggests the target was not merely picked off, but broken under concentrated capital-grade fire before any meaningful escape could take shape.

THE BREAK

The PhoenixHeart loss was far from empty hull value alone. The ship carried large stores of ammunition and fuel, including tens of thousands of Nitrogen Isotopes and multiple torpedo stocks, some of which were destroyed in the wreck. The report indicates 4.2 billion ISK was destroyed with 926.1 million ISK recovered, underscoring how much of the ship and its fittings was lost to the grid rather than salvaged from it.

WHY IT MATTERS

For Solitarius Forti, the loss of a Phoenix is the kind of blow that lingers well beyond the wreck itself. For Pandemic Legion, it is a clean and expensive result: a capital target removed, the field controlled, and another reminder that in Korridi, even a single ship can become the centre of a very short and very costly fight.

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.

Solyaris Chtonium Killed Redux.'s Avatar as 1,166 Pilots Watched

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.

Warlock Industries Alliance Lost 52 Billion ISK. It Wasn't Even a Capital.

Fifty-two point nine billion ISK, gone. One killmail. Eight hundred and forty-seven pilots on the record. Amamake has swallowed fleets, capitals, and more than a few alliances' sense of direction over the years. It has rarely swallowed 52.9 billion ISK in a single ship that was not even a capital. The victim was the Sarathiel, flying under the banner of Warlock Industries Alliance. The credited killer was Minmatar Fleet Associates. And every one of those 847 names belongs to the same kill.
