Phoenix Goes Down in a 117-Pilot Wormhole Clash
A Phoenix carrier-sized prize was broken apart in J105632 after a 117-pilot wormhole fight that dragged multiple groups into the same chaotic engagement. The 5.6 billion ISK capital loss became the defining moment of a 14.5 billion ISK battle that also claimed two Ikitursa cruisers and a capsule before the field settled.
THE CATCH
The fight in J105632 unfolded over a little more than 16 minutes, but the Phoenix at the centre of it never had much room to breathe. Elinera of Eviction-Scout Inc. lost the capital ship in an engagement that drew in Psyno Theory, CreepShow Entertainment, and Stryker Group, with the wider battle suggesting a densely packed wormhole confrontation rather than a clean, isolated hunt. With 117 pilots on grid across the fight, the ship was not simply destroyed quickly; it was worn down in the kind of contested space where exits, reinforcements, and timing can matter as much as raw firepower.
THE BREAK
The final blow came from Lilly Tsutola flying a Kikimora for Psyno Theory, but the damage trail shows the Phoenix was under sustained pressure from several directions before that moment arrived. Cha0530 in a Manticore, lordofwar168 and Davidx123 in Vedmaks, and Kings-123 in a Caracal all contributed significant damage, pointing to a coordinated collapse rather than a single lucky volley. For a capital ship in wormhole space, that kind of layered fire can be fatal once its support and mobility begin to fail.
THE LOSSES
The Phoenix accounted for the largest single loss in the fight at 5.6 billion ISK, with 4.6 billion ISK destroyed outright and just 1 billion ISK recovered. Its cargo and fittings tell the same story of a ship committed hard into the engagement: 10,000 nitrogen isotopes were destroyed, along with thousands of torpedoes including Mjolnir Rage, Mjolnir Javelin, and Caldari Navy ammunition. Around it, the wreckage also included two Ikitursa hulls and a capsule, bringing the total battle value to 14.5 billion ISK across five recorded losses.
THE WIDER SIGNAL
Eviction-Scout Inc. appears among both the attacking and victim organisations, while CreepShow Entertainment also shows up on both sides of the ledger, suggesting a muddled multi-party engagement where alliances and coalitions overlapped inside the same fight. That kind of collision is often the most dangerous kind of wormhole battle: once multiple groups are committed, a single capital can become the hinge on which the whole encounter turns. In J105632, the Phoenix was that hinge — and it snapped.
