Redeemer Lost in LC-1ED to a Two-Ship Hunting Pair
A Redeemer worth 1.3 billion ISK was caught and destroyed in LC-1ED as a small hunting group from Can i bring my Drake... brought down Little Focker of Stain Neurodiverse Democracy. The black ops battleship did not get away once the engagement closed, and the wreck left behind a reminder that even covert power can be exposed when two enemies are already waiting.
THE CATCH
The loss came in a fight that never grew beyond a handful of pilots, but the target made it anything but routine. Little Focker’s Redeemer, flown for Stain Neurodiverse Democracy through the Lowsexgate to STAIN corporation, was destroyed in LC-1ED with the engagement ending almost as soon as it began. The final blow came from JOilu in a Rattlesnake, with a second attacker, anavishhh in a capsule, also recorded on the field.
THE HUNT
With only six participants involved overall, the encounter appears to have been a tight local interception rather than a broad fleet clash. The attacker side came from Can i bring my Drake..., and the fight suggests the Redeemer was isolated enough for the hunters to press hard and quickly. That kind of ship is not a casual casualty: a black ops battleship carries both value and expectation, and once it is committed in a vulnerable moment, the margin for escape narrows fast.
THE BREAK
The damage profile points to a brutal and efficient takedown. Most of the ship’s value was destroyed outright, with only 258.6 million ISK in loot recovered from the wreck. Among the wreckage were 55,794 helium isotopes destroyed and another 6,096 retained, alongside nanite repair paste and ammunition. For a Redeemer, those are the kinds of details that mark a sudden, terminal collapse rather than a controlled withdrawal.
THE LOSSES
The destroyed ship alone accounted for 1 billion ISK in losses, pushing the total value of the engagement to 1.3 billion ISK. JOilu’s Rattlesnake delivered the finishing volley, underscoring how a small number of attackers can still land a costly result when the target is exposed at the wrong time. For Stain Neurodiverse Democracy, it is a sharp and expensive reminder that covert strength is only as good as the moment it chooses to stand still.
