Redeemer Lost in Naguton as Hunting Gang Closes In

A Redeemer worth 1.7 billion ISK was caught and destroyed in Naguton, ending a brief but costly encounter that drew pilots from several groups into the same fight. The black ops battleship, flown by Col Ming Arcaeus of Brotherhood of Spacers, went down under pressure from Coffin Carrying Pallbearers and their allies, with moon Luuuky’s Golem landing the final blow.

THE CATCH

The fight in Naguton appears to have centered on a single valuable target: a Redeemer operating amid a small, nine-pilot engagement. What might have begun as a limited skirmish quickly turned into a focused hunt once the black ops battleship was identified and pinned down. In New Eden, ships of that class rarely die cheaply, and this one did not escape the attention of those looking for an opportunity.

THE PRESSURE CLOSES

Coffin Carrying Pallbearers were credited on the attacker side, with support also coming from pilots in YUZUSOFT. and Truthsayer's Dome. The damage spread across a handful of ships suggests a concentrated tackle and damage application rather than a broad fleet brawl. Scroll Keyboard’s Dominix and Cosmic DJ Lee109’s Praxis both added meaningful pressure before the field narrowed around the Redeemer.

THE BREAK

The decisive moment came when moon Luuuky, flying a Golem, secured the final blow. By that point the Redeemer had already lost a large portion of its value, with 1.4 billion ISK destroyed and 281.9 million ISK recovered as drops. The wreck left behind Helium Isotopes, Nanite Repair Paste, and ammunition, while Scorch L was among the items destroyed in the fire.

THE COST

For Brotherhood of Spacers and Col Ming Arcaeus, the loss of a Redeemer is a painful one: expensive, specialized, and hard to replace without notice. For the attackers, it is the kind of result that justifies the risk of a close-range engagement — a high-value ship caught in the open and stripped apart before it could turn the situation around. In Naguton, the short fight ended with the prize in wreckage and the hunters walking away with a striking trophy.

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.
