THE CATCH
The loss unfolded in Tama at a moment when the target appears to have been vulnerable enough for a small group to close in. With only six participants visible in the engagement, this was not a sprawling fleet action but a tight interception with a high-value prize at the center. The victim, Daniel Tortuga Batalla of Absolute Glory, was flying a Procurer — a ship usually associated with stubborn survival rather than spectacular destruction.
THE PRIZE
What made the kill stand out was not the hull alone, but what it was carrying. Nearly 500 units of PLEX were among the items recovered, alongside large quantities of Kernite, Kernite II-Grade, Kernite III-Grade, and ammunition. The report suggests a haul worth almost as much as the ship itself was already in motion, making the Procurer a tempting target and a costly one to lose. Most of the value was dropped rather than destroyed, meaning the attackers came away with the bulk of the prize.
THE BREAK
Nourv Gate Security Commission fielded at least three attackers directly tied to the kill, with I7eveNl in an Exequror Navy Issue delivering the final blow and Jaja Colene applying the heavier share of the damage. An additional source of damage is listed as a Guristas Inferno Light Missile, suggesting the fight may have been complicated by NPC interference or nearby environmental pressure. However it unfolded, the defenders were not able to keep the Procurer alive long enough to escape.
THE LOSSES
The ship itself was no minor casualty. At 3.1 billion ISK total value, the destruction of a Procurer in Tama reads as a major haul for the attackers and a painful reversal for the victim. Only 58.3 million ISK of the value was destroyed outright, while 3 billion ISK in cargo and fittings appears to have been recoverable for the victors — a sharp reminder that even sturdy industrial ships can become liabilities when they are carrying too much and traveling at the wrong moment.
