Raven Destroyed in Sivala as Hunters Close in on 1.4 Billion ISK Prize
A Raven worth 1.4 billion ISK was caught and destroyed in Sivala as a small attack group from Something Really Pretentious closed the net on Lucius grumble of The Rejected. The engagement was brief, but the result was decisive: a battleship-sized prize lost, a cargo hold partially stripped, and a clean final blow landed by an Exequror Navy Issue.
THE CATCH
The fight in Sivala appears to have been a sharp, local engagement rather than a prolonged battle. Twelve pilots were involved in the area, with six attackers directly credited against the Raven before it went down. That is enough to suggest a coordinated hunt rather than a random skirmish, and the outcome points to the target being isolated at the wrong moment.
THE FALL
Lucius grumble’s Raven, flown for The Rejected. and backed by 7th Dead Company, was the ship that paid the price. The final blow came from Eron Overlord in an Exequror Navy Issue, an unusual end for a battleship loss and one that underlines how quickly the engagement tightened around the target. The Raven did not escape the pressure long enough to recover, and the ship was removed before it could break free.
THE LOSSES
The destruction totaled 1.4 billion ISK, with 590 million ISK destroyed and 786.7 million ISK dropped. The cargo included large quantities of Scourge Rage Torpedoes, some lost with the hull and some recovered by the attackers, which suggests the Raven was carrying enough ammunition for a serious outing. That is the kind of loss that stings twice: first in the ship itself, and again in what failed to get out with it.
WHY IT MATTERS
For Something Really Pretentious, the kill reads as a successful small-group hunt: a heavier target caught, pinned, and finished before it could turn the fight around. For The Rejected., it is a reminder that even a single battleship can become an expensive liability when it is exposed in hostile space. In a place like Sivala, a moment’s hesitation can be all it takes for a profitable escape to become a very costly wreck.
