THE HUNT
The target was a Praxis flown by Gara Evingod of Dark Wormhole Industry, and it did not escape once the hunters committed. Seven pilots were involved in the engagement, but the damage list makes clear where the pressure came from: a pack of Purifiers working in concert against a single, expensive hull. In a fight measured in moments, the cruiser's heavier cousin was exposed long enough to become a prize.
THE CATCH
The final blow came from Emil Rastakillah in a Purifier, but the rest of the covert group had already done the hard work of pinning down the ship and driving damage into it. The attackers included pilots from Demon Chicken's Revenge and several allied outfits, suggesting a coordinated strike rather than a lone opportunist. When the trap closed, the Praxis was not only outnumbered but outgunned by a wave of missile fire and bomber attention.
THE COLLAPSE
The destruction was split between what was lost and what could be salvaged: 543.4 million ISK worth of the ship and fittings was destroyed, while 786.8 million ISK dropped into space. The cargo read like a missile stockpile, with thousands of Caldari Navy heavy missiles among the notable items, reinforcing the sense that this was a well-prepared combat platform caught at the wrong time. Once the bombers got their opportunity, there was no clean exit.
WHY IT MATTERS
For Dark Wormhole Industry, the loss of a 1.3 billion ISK Praxis is expensive enough on its own. For the attackers, it is the kind of small-gang victory that lingers: a high-value hull removed in a short, sharp engagement, and a reminder that even a sturdy battleship can be erased when a covert group finds the right opening in Inaya.
