Rattlesnake and Redeemer Lost in a Fast LC-1ED Skirmish
A brief fight in LC-1ED ended with two ships down and nearly 3 billion ISK gone from the field, as a Rattlesnake and a Redeemer were caught in a tight, close-range engagement that left little room for escape.
THE CATCH
The engagement in LC-1ED unfolded quickly, lasting just under a minute from start to finish. What began as a small clash of seven pilots appears to have turned on the sudden exposure of a Rattlesnake worth 1.7 billion ISK, which became the centerpiece of the fight and the largest loss of the action.
THE BREAK
The decisive blow came from El Cobradero flying a Widow for Stain Neurodiverse Democracy. The Rattlesnake’s owner, JOilu of Can i bring my Drake... and Formica Corp., was finished by a focused attack that left 1.6 billion ISK destroyed and only 101 million ISK recovered. The volume of Inferno Auto-Targeting Heavy Missile I ammunition destroyed and dropped suggests the ship was not simply passing through, but prepared for a fight that turned against it.
THE LOSSES
The battle did not stop with the Rattlesnake. A Redeemer was also lost in the same exchange, reinforcing the sense that this was a sharp, violent interception rather than a single isolated kill. With both Stain Neurodiverse Democracy and Can i bring my Drake... appearing on both sides of the report, the engagement suggests a tangled local clash rather than a clean engagement between distant enemies.
THE PRICE
For the pilots involved, the cost was immediate: 2.9 billion ISK in losses and two ships removed from the field. In a small fight like this, a single capital-grade mistake or moment of vulnerability can decide the outcome. LC-1ED now has one more short, expensive reminder that even a brief skirmish can produce a very expensive result.
