Praxis Worth 1.5B ISK Destroyed in Tight OKEO-X Skirmish

A heavily fitted Praxis was destroyed in OKEO-X after a brief five-pilot skirmish that left Goonswarm Federation accounting for both sides of the fight. The ship, flown by YAOJIANGKEXUE of Kun-Lun, carried expensive Domination modules and was finished off by XIAOKEXUE, with the loss reaching 1.5 billion ISK.

THE CATCH

The fight in OKEO-X appears to have been a small, close-range interception rather than a drawn-out engagement. Only five pilots are listed, but the loss centered on a single Praxis that stood out immediately for its fittings and price tag. In a system where fleeting mistakes can turn costly fast, the battleship-class hull became the clear prize.

THE PRACTICE RUN ENDED FAST

Three Praxis pilots from Goonswarm Federation did most of the damage, with XIAOKEXUE landing the final blow and the other two attackers contributing almost identical pressure. That kind of concentrated fire suggests the target was pinned down quickly and could not buy the time needed to escape. An additional unaligned Domination Dreadnought appears in the record, but the destruction was driven by the Goonswarm group.

THE LOSSES

The destroyed ship carried a mix of expensive faction hardware, including Domination shield and smartbomb modules, with one Domination Heavy Stasis Grappler among the items lost outright. The report splits the value at 799.2 million ISK destroyed and 672.4 million ISK dropped, underlining how much of the ship’s worth was tied up in the fit itself. For a Praxis, that is not a routine casualty; it is an expensive one.

WHY IT MATTERS

Even without a larger battle around it, the loss matters because it shows how quickly a single high-value ship can be stripped apart when it is caught exposed. A 1.5 billion ISK Praxis is not a trivial pickup, and the outcome reinforces how dangerous even small local clashes can become in low-population space. In EVE, a short fight can still end with a very expensive wreck.

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.
