THE STRIKE
The engagement in Sivala was brief, but it carried the weight of a far larger loss. Vendetta Mercenary Group put five attackers onto the target, backed by a total of seven participants in the wider action, and concentrated its fire on an Inconspicuous Corporation Holdings Raitaru. What might have looked like a routine structure brawl instead ended with the engineering rig coming apart under sustained battlecruiser pressure.
THE BREAK
The final blow came from Safety in a Talos, one of four Talos battlecruisers listed among the main attackers. Tadalafil, calypso per, and masty added heavy damage before the structure gave way, while a Malediction under carlosgace appears to have helped round out the tackle and control element of the attack. The fight suggests a deliberate, tightly focused strike rather than a drawn-out siege.
THE LOSSES
The Raitaru did not go quietly. Along with the hull itself, huge quantities of industrial material were either destroyed or scattered into space, including 104 million Tritanium destroyed and tens of millions more Pyerite and Mexallon affected in the wreckage. The structure was not merely removed; it was stripped apart in a way that underlines how punishing these losses can be for any corporation relying on anchored industry in space.
WHY IT MATTERS
For Inconspicuous Corporation Holdings, the destruction of a Raitaru in Sivala is a sharp reminder that infrastructure in New Eden is only as safe as the force protecting it. For Vendetta Mercenary Group, it was a clean and expensive result: a high-value structure eliminated in a short engagement, with the field left to the attackers. In a cluster where industrial footholds can be torn down as quickly as they are built, that kind of blow carries its own message.
