Redeemer Lost in B-588R as Fraternity. Closes the Net

A Redeemer was destroyed in B-588R in a sharp interception that appears to have caught the black ops battleship at close range. Fraternity. fielded the pressure, and the final blow came from j0y Chong in a Harpy, ending a fight that cost Mining Andres’s ship 1.5 billion ISK.

THE CATCH

The loss in B-588R was over quickly, but it was not small. Mining Andres of Brotherhood of Spacers lost a Redeemer, a ship that is never cheap to expose and even less forgiving when escape starts to slip away. The engagement involved 39 participants overall, suggesting a local clash that drew enough attention to turn one vulnerable ship into the center of the fight.

THE FRATERNITY PRESSURE

Fraternity. appears to have brought the weight needed to keep the target pinned down. Twenty-two attackers are tied to the loss, with Harpies and a Hecate doing much of the visible work. Detective pikapika in the Hecate dealt the largest recorded damage among the attackers, while other Fraternity. pilots added sustained fire as the Redeemer was worn down.

THE BREAK

The final strike came from j0y Chong in a Harpy, sealing the destruction after the black ops ship had already been pushed deep into trouble. The loss shows a total value of 1.5 billion ISK, with about 1.1 billion ISK destroyed and 391.6 million ISK recovered in drops. Fuel and ammunition scattered with the wreck, including large quantities of Helium Isotopes and laser crystals, a reminder that the ship had been fitted for operations rather than sacrifice.

THE COST

For Brotherhood of Spacers, the destruction of a Redeemer is the kind of loss that changes a night in space from routine to expensive in an instant. For Fraternity., it is a clean result: a high-value target caught, isolated, and finished before it could slip the net. In B-588R, that was enough to turn a local clash into a notable prize.

Big Vantus Paid 15 Ships Toward Pochven's 72 Billion ISK Tab

Of the 47 ships destroyed in Ignebaener, 46 were, in ISK terms, background noise. The 47th was a Paladin valued at just under 57.5 billion ISK - close to four-fifths of everything the system destroyed in one sitting. One hull, one pilot, one very bad moment, and the number that will define this fight long after the killboards stop updating.

Brave Newbies Lost 21 Ships in 4-07MU and Shot Back With Interest

Somewhere around 19:25 UTC, a Caracal Navy Issue died in 4-07MU and 912 pilots decided that was a reasonable invitation. Two hours later the system had produced 200 wrecks, 67.2 billion ISK of damage, and not one capital ship - just battleship after battleship feeding itself into a fight that refused to end. The killboards call it a gank. The killboards are only half right.

Solyaris Chtonium Killed Redux.'s Avatar as 1,166 Pilots Watched

The last thing an Avatar expects to be doing is dying in lowsec, but Amamake has been ruining plans for a very long time. Redux.'s Amarr Titan - one of the largest and most expensive warships in New Eden - came apart in the Heimatar system with roughly 1,166 pilots involved in the kill, and a price tag of 142.7 billion ISK attached to a single loss.

Warlock Industries Alliance Lost 52 Billion ISK. It Wasn't Even a Capital.

Fifty-two point nine billion ISK, gone. One killmail. Eight hundred and forty-seven pilots on the record. Amamake has swallowed fleets, capitals, and more than a few alliances' sense of direction over the years. It has rarely swallowed 52.9 billion ISK in a single ship that was not even a capital. The victim was the Sarathiel, flying under the banner of Warlock Industries Alliance. The credited killer was Minmatar Fleet Associates. And every one of those 847 names belongs to the same kill.
