Phoenix Navy Issue Crushed in 1I5-0V Coalition Fight

A Phoenix Navy Issue worth 10.1 billion ISK was destroyed in a fast-moving battle in 1I5-0V, where 79 pilots clashed over just under four minutes and the fighting left 27.8 billion ISK in wreckage behind. The capital ship, flown by Eva Hekkin of HOLD MY PROBS, was brought down after a heavy commitment from attackers tied to PUT THE FRIES IN THE BAG and Ragequit Cancel Sub.

THE CATCH

The engagement appears to have opened as a coordinated strike on a high-value target, with the Phoenix Navy Issue quickly becoming the focal point of the fight. What began as a major fleet clash in 1I5-0V ended with the dreadnought-class hull overwhelmed before it could escape the pressure closing around it.

THE HAMMER FALLS

The final blow came from De BuG in an Apocalypse Navy Issue, but the damage was piled on by much larger ships. Two Hel supercarriers from PUT THE FRIES IN THE BAG did the heaviest lifting, joined by a Nyx and additional support on grid, suggesting this was not a casual roam but a serious commitment of force against the target.

THE PRIZE

When the Phoenix Navy Issue went down, it did so with a hangar full of expensive cargo and ammunition still aboard. Nitrogen Isotopes were recovered in quantity, while thousands of torpedoes were either destroyed or left in space, underlining how much firepower and fuel had been committed to the ship’s operations before it was caught.

THE COST

The loss itself accounted for 10.1 billion ISK, with 7.4 billion destroyed and 2.8 billion dropped, but the wider fight was much larger than a single capital wreck. With three ships lost overall and 79 participants on field, the battle in 1I5-0V looks like a sharp, expensive confrontation that likely hurt HOLD MY PROBS far more than the attackers who closed the trap.

Scan Stakan Killed 55 Ships and Lost 186 in the Same Fight

E-WMT7 produced 376 killmails, somewhere around 134 billion ISK of wreckage, and one battleship worth more than a force auxiliary, a Nestor and a Typhoon Fleet Issue put together. The number that stings harder is 186. That is how many ships Scan Stakan lost in the same engagement in which they killed 55 - top of the kill list and top of the loss list, in a single three-and-a-half-hour afternoon.

x Never Regret x Takes 40 Kills as Raa Burns 26 Capitals

At 17:28 UTC, a Retriever died in Raa. Retrievers die constantly, and in Devoid that is more or less the job description. This one is only worth mentioning because of what followed it: for the next hundred minutes, a system on the edge of Amarr space turned into a scrapyard, and by the time the last shot landed at 19:10, 87 ships had been destroyed and the bill had reached 157.4 billion ISK. Almost half of that was one Revelation.

Rattini Tribe and Prime Directive. Split Dal's 192 Billion ISK Bill

An Amarr Shuttle belonging to G0lden Fleet. died in Dal at 16:15 UTC. That is not normally the opening line of a 192 billion ISK story, but Dal spent the next three hours and forty-one minutes making sure nobody forgot it. By the time the last capsule in the system - belonging to x Never Regret x - came apart at 19:56, 557 pilots had produced 516 confirmed losses, fourteen capital ships had been wrecked, and the Heimatar system had eaten just over 192 billion ISK. That is not a skirmish somebody stumbled into. That is a decision, made over and over, for the better part of four hours.

Brave Newbies Topped Both Sides of the HY-RWO Ledger

The first ship to die in HY-RWO was a Rokh worth 44.7 billion ISK, and it set the tone for everything that came after. Over the following hour, 1,883 pilots fought in the Catch system, 243 ships were destroyed, and around 205 billion ISK was removed from the economy one killmail at a time. Not a single capital ship died. In a fight of that size, the most expensive losses were ordinary battleships, fitted in a way that makes the word 'ordinary' sound absurd.
