Redeemer Caught and Crushed in 111-F1 Clash

A 1.7 billion ISK Redeemer was brought down in 111-F1 as Dracarys. overwhelmed a mixed force from Fraternity. and Siberian Squads in a short, sharp fight that cost three ships and turned into a decisive prize for the attackers.

THE CATCH

The engagement in 111-F1 opened with a high-value target already exposed and under pressure. Morgan Henrry’s Redeemer, flown for Siberian Squads, became the centrepiece of the fight and the most expensive loss in a clash that involved 36 pilots and roughly 4.5 billion ISK in total destruction. For a black ops battleship, there was no room for error once Dracarys. moved in.

THE STRIKE

The attackers brought the heavier pressure through a wall of Drake Navy Issues, with Comodo Knight landing the final blow and leading the damage total on the target. A cluster of Dracarys. pilots piled onto the Redeemer while the fight still had enough momentum to deny any clean escape. The ship’s fit suggests it had been prepared for serious work: isotopes, repair paste, cap boosters, and both Imperial Navy Multifrequency and Scorch L loaded for trouble.

THE COLLAPSE

Once the Redeemer went down, the rest of the exchange appears to have broken quickly. Only three ships were lost in the action, including the Redeemer and a capsule, which suggests the attackers kept control of the fight after the initial catch. The short duration — just over 20 seconds between start and finish — points to an interception that never had time to grow into a longer brawl.

THE PRIZE

For Dracarys., the result was less about raw numbers than about what they stopped and what they removed from the field. The destruction of a heavily committed Redeemer, backed by 19 attackers on the final kill, is the kind of loss that forces a hard pause on any operation. In a region where fast kills can matter more than prolonged trades, 111-F1 became another reminder that even a capital-grade escape plan can end in a flash.

Scan Stakan Killed 55 Ships and Lost 186 in the Same Fight

E-WMT7 produced 376 killmails, somewhere around 134 billion ISK of wreckage, and one battleship worth more than a force auxiliary, a Nestor and a Typhoon Fleet Issue put together. The number that stings harder is 186. That is how many ships Scan Stakan lost in the same engagement in which they killed 55 - top of the kill list and top of the loss list, in a single three-and-a-half-hour afternoon.

x Never Regret x Takes 40 Kills as Raa Burns 26 Capitals

At 17:28 UTC, a Retriever died in Raa. Retrievers die constantly, and in Devoid that is more or less the job description. This one is only worth mentioning because of what followed it: for the next hundred minutes, a system on the edge of Amarr space turned into a scrapyard, and by the time the last shot landed at 19:10, 87 ships had been destroyed and the bill had reached 157.4 billion ISK. Almost half of that was one Revelation.

Rattini Tribe and Prime Directive. Split Dal's 192 Billion ISK Bill

An Amarr Shuttle belonging to G0lden Fleet. died in Dal at 16:15 UTC. That is not normally the opening line of a 192 billion ISK story, but Dal spent the next three hours and forty-one minutes making sure nobody forgot it. By the time the last capsule in the system - belonging to x Never Regret x - came apart at 19:56, 557 pilots had produced 516 confirmed losses, fourteen capital ships had been wrecked, and the Heimatar system had eaten just over 192 billion ISK. That is not a skirmish somebody stumbled into. That is a decision, made over and over, for the better part of four hours.

Brave Newbies Topped Both Sides of the HY-RWO Ledger

The first ship to die in HY-RWO was a Rokh worth 44.7 billion ISK, and it set the tone for everything that came after. Over the following hour, 1,883 pilots fought in the Catch system, 243 ships were destroyed, and around 205 billion ISK was removed from the economy one killmail at a time. Not a single capital ship died. In a fight of that size, the most expensive losses were ordinary battleships, fitted in a way that makes the word 'ordinary' sound absurd.
