Raitaru Destroyed in Jufvitte as Bully Brigade Breaks Structure Defences

A Raitaru in Jufvitte was wrecked in a brief but costly strike, leaving Hidden Snowflake to absorb a 2.3 billion ISK loss as Bully Brigade and SCREECHING GRASS brought the structure down in a fight that lasted only moments.

THE STRIKE

The engagement in Jufvitte was over almost as soon as it began, but the result was anything but routine. A Hidden Snowflake Raitaru was destroyed under pressure from Bully Brigade, with the final blow landing from Sudainais Farmeris in a Paladin. The structure’s loss alone accounted for the bulk of the damage, and the fight closed with 2.3 billion ISK erased in a single encounter.

THE ATTACKERS CLOSE IN

Bully Brigade committed at least three attackers to the operation, with the Paladin of Sudainais Farmeris doing the heaviest lifting. Sadams in a Hurricane Fleet Issue and ROCKET SANDWICHT added to the damage, suggesting a compact but deliberate assault rather than a sprawling fleet action. With six participants recorded overall, the scene points to a small engagement where the attackers had the numbers and the firepower needed to finish the job.

WHAT THE RAITARU LOST

The destruction was not limited to the structure’s hull. A Raitaru Upwell Quantum Core was recovered, but several industrial fittings were wiped out in the blast, including manufacturing efficiency and ammunition production modules. Those losses underline the impact of the strike: this was not simply a hull kill, but the removal of a working industrial asset and the equipment that made it useful.

WHY IT MATTERS

For Hidden Snowflake, the loss means more than the price tag attached to the wreck. A Raitaru is a foundation piece for industrial operations, and its destruction disrupts both production and presence in system. For Bully Brigade, the attack shows that even a modest-sized strike can produce a significant result when the target is exposed and the damage dealers are in place at the right moment.

Big Vantus Paid 15 Ships Toward Pochven's 72 Billion ISK Tab

Of the 47 ships destroyed in Ignebaener, 46 were, in ISK terms, background noise. The 47th was a Paladin valued at just under 57.5 billion ISK - close to four-fifths of everything the system destroyed in one sitting. One hull, one pilot, one very bad moment, and the number that will define this fight long after the killboards stop updating.

Brave Newbies Lost 21 Ships in 4-07MU and Shot Back With Interest

Somewhere around 19:25 UTC, a Caracal Navy Issue died in 4-07MU and 912 pilots decided that was a reasonable invitation. Two hours later the system had produced 200 wrecks, 67.2 billion ISK of damage, and not one capital ship - just battleship after battleship feeding itself into a fight that refused to end. The killboards call it a gank. The killboards are only half right.

The last thing an Avatar expects to be doing is dying in lowsec, but Amamake has been ruining plans for a very long time. Redux.'s Amarr Titan - one of the largest and most expensive warships in New Eden - came apart in the Heimatar system with roughly 1,166 pilots involved in the kill, and a price tag of 142.7 billion ISK attached to a single loss.

Warlock Industries Alliance Lost 52 Billion ISK. It Wasn't Even a Capital.

Fifty-two point nine billion ISK, gone. One killmail. Eight hundred and forty-seven pilots on the record. Amamake has swallowed fleets, capitals, and more than a few alliances' sense of direction over the years. It has rarely swallowed 52.9 billion ISK in a single ship that was not even a capital. The victim was the Sarathiel, flying under the banner of Warlock Industries Alliance. The credited killer was Minmatar Fleet Associates. And every one of those 847 names belongs to the same kill.
