Raitaru Falls to a Two-Ship Strike in Hakshma
A Raitaru in Hakshma was destroyed in a sharp, costly strike that appears to have been delivered by just two attackers from Bully Brigade. The structure’s loss, valued at 2 billion ISK, included research infrastructure and its quantum core, turning a brief local engagement into a painful setback for STVEP Holdings.
THE CATCH
The attack in Hakshma was over as quickly as it began, but the damage was substantial. A Raitaru belonging to STVEP Holdings was caught and destroyed at 04:36 EVE time in what looks like a small, local engagement. With only four participants tied to the fight, the structure appears to have been isolated rather than defended in any serious depth.
THE BREAK
Bully Brigade brought only two attackers to bear, but the damage they delivered was decisive. Supreme PL in a Kronos applied the heavier share of the pressure, while FUC-ING CHUCKY landed the final blow in a Babaroga. That combination suggests a deliberate, high-value hit rather than a passing opportunistic skirmish, with the attackers able to overwhelm the target before any meaningful escape or recovery could unfold.
THE LOSSES
The Raitaru’s destruction erased more than a hull. Along with the structure itself, the strike destroyed Standup M-Set TE Research Accelerator I and Standup M-Set Blueprint Copy Accelerator I, while a Standup Hyasyoda Research Lab and a Standup Invention Lab I dropped from the wreckage. The Raitaru Upwell Quantum Core also came out in the aftermath, underscoring how quickly a refinery or industrial foothold can be stripped apart once the shield of safety is gone.
THE SIGNIFICANCE
For STVEP Holdings, the loss appears to be a serious industrial setback rather than just another wreck on the board. A structure meant to support long-term production and research was removed in a single strike, and the value of the destroyed and dropped assets makes the raid sting all the more. In Hakshma, Bully Brigade did not need a fleet to make a point — only enough firepower to turn a standing facility into debris.
