Proteus Caught and Crushed in J133157 Ambush

A Proteus worth 1.2 billion ISK was dragged down in J133157 as DISASTER Delivery Service closed in on UrinalPie’s ship, ending the escape with an Abaddon’s final blow after a brief but decisive hunt.

THE CATCH

The engagement in J133157 was a small one, but it ended with expensive consequences. UrinalPie of Kitchen Sinkhole, flying a Proteus for Dark Venture Corporation, was caught by DISASTER Delivery Service and destroyed in a fight involving just six pilots. The loss totals 1.2 billion ISK, a reminder that even a single moment of exposure in wormhole space can turn into a costly mistake.

THE HAMMER FALLS

Three attackers from DISASTER Delivery Service were credited with the destruction, led by Akava Ozran in an Abaddon, who landed the final blow. StefanMcCormack McCormack in a Megathron and Kate Shiela, also in a Megathron, helped strip the Proteus down before it broke. The damage pattern suggests a focused, coordinated strike rather than a prolonged brawl.

THE PRIZE LOST

The Proteus was carrying more than pride. Alongside the hull went a mix of ammunition and supplies, including Void M, Null M, Guardian Antimatter Charge M and Nanite Repair Paste. The wreckage shows that some cargo was recovered, but a significant share was destroyed outright, adding to the blow. For a strategic cruiser, that kind of loss is never just a ship; it is fittings, ammunition, and the cost of being pinned down at the wrong time.

WHY IT MATTERS

A single Proteus may not reshape a region, but losses like this matter because they punish hesitation and reward the side that sees the opening first. In J133157, DISASTER Delivery Service found the opening, applied enough pressure to keep it closed, and walked away with a kill that was small in scale but sharp in impact.

ChuangShi Parked 234 Ships in P-ZMZV. Can't park there m8 Noticed.

The first confirmed loss in P-ZMZV wasn't a ship. At 13:49 the opening entry on the killboard is a capsule - a pilot's escape pod, logged and destroyed. The last entry, some two and a half hours later, is an Osprey Navy Issue flown for Black Layer Syndicate. In between, the system swallowed 581 losses and roughly 1.77 trillion ISK, and when the shooting finally stopped, one side was still out there sweeping the grid for pods.

Rattini Tribe Topped Amamake's Kills and Its Losses

At 22:01 UTC the first wreck of the night was a Slasher, a frigate so cheap it barely registers as a rounding error in a system like Amamake. Nearly four hours later, at 01:59, a Hecate stopped burning and the shooting finally trailed off. In between, Heimatar's most notorious lowsec system swallowed a Titan, a supercarrier, thirty-three capitals and somewhere in the region of 12.2 trillion ISK of everything else. The final tally: 1,705 ships destroyed, roughly 44,900 pilots credited across the killmails, and one alliance sitting proudly at the top of both the kill column and the loss column.

One hull, one pilot, one very bad moment, and the number that will define this fight long after the killboards stop updating.
