Revelation Destroyed in C2X-M5 as Goonswarm Hunt Ends in 5.5B ISK Loss

A Fraternity Auxiliary Revelation was destroyed in C2X-M5 in a sharp 5.5B ISK engagement that appears to have drawn in a sizeable mixed force before the capital finally broke. The kill credited Goonswarm Federation with the final blow, but the data suggests this was not a simple finish: unaligned attackers and other committed ships also registered heavy damage, turning the loss into a messy and expensive collapse around a stranded dreadnought.

THE CATCH

The fight in C2X-M5 was brief on the clock but costly in practice. At 07:08:49 UTC, a Revelation flown by Panzerfusiliers of Fraternity Auxiliary came apart in a clash that left only one ship lost, yet still landed at 5.5B ISK in total value. For a dreadnought, that kind of exposure is rarely accidental. The scale of the engagement, with roughly 120 participants recorded, suggests the capital did not die alone and was instead caught in the middle of a wider pile-on.

THE PRESSURE BUILDS

The final blow came from tuhu zhang in a Purifier, a reminder that even a capital ship can be finished by a strike from outside the obvious line of battle once the armour and structure have already been worn down. Goonswarm Federation appears to have had the decisive hand in the destruction, with 81 attackers tied to the loss. Yet the damage profile shows the field was crowded: an unaligned attacker in an Infesting Obstructor Xi dealt the largest recorded share of damage, while Fraternity Auxiliary's YssringLeavtruth in another Revelation also appears in the damage list, hinting at a chaotic engagement where the target was under sustained pressure from multiple directions.

THE WRECKAGE

When the Revelation finally went down, it took more than the hull with it. More than 51,000 Helium Isotopes were recovered, alongside several thousand Strontium Clathrates, while Navy Cap Booster 3200 charges were destroyed in the wreckage. The numbers suggest a ship prepared for serious work, not a casual roam, which makes the loss feel heavier still. A dreadnought fitted and stocked for a prolonged fight represents time, planning, and an expensive commitment that ended abruptly in a single moment of failure.

WHY IT MATTERS

For Fraternity Auxiliary, losing a Revelation in this way is more than a headline loss in ISK terms. Capital ships are hard to replace, harder to move safely, and impossible to ignore when they are destroyed in such a concentrated burst of fire. For Goonswarm Federation, the result reads as a successful hunt in contested space, one that ended with a high-value capital removed from the grid. Whatever led to the engagement in C2X-M5, the outcome is clear enough: a dreadnought was caught, pinned down, and burned out before it could escape.

ChuangShi Lost 70 Ships in P-ZMZV and Kept Shooting Back

The first confirmed loss in P-ZMZV wasn't a ship. It was a capsule - a pilot already out of their hull, already running, and not fast enough. Eighty-five minutes and 186 wrecks later, the last loss on the board was a capsule too. In between, more than a thousand pilots turned a structure fight in Querious into a 126 billion ISK argument that nobody walked away from cleanly.

Scan Stakan Lost 94 Ships and Still Landed 45 Kills

Thirty-five minutes in F-5WYK left 183 wrecks, four dead capitals and a bill of 163.5 billion ISK. The most striking number of the day, though, sits in the loss column: Scan Stakan lost 94 ships - and killed 45 more on the way down.

A P E X Bring 44 Pilots to Kill One The Scope Nyx

Some killmails are lists. This one is a single line, and the line costs fifty billion ISK. In the Khanid system of Irmalin, a Nyx belonging to The Scope was destroyed, and the record shows forty-four pilots credited with the work. One ship, one kill, fifty billion ISK. That is the whole event - and it is more than enough to be worth reading twice.

African Atomic. Turned Vecamia Into a 132 Billion ISK Junkyard

Somewhere in the middle of a 48-minute fight in Vecamia, the most expensive thing on the field was not a dreadnought. It was a battleship. The CONCORD Marshal that died in Genesis cost just over 50.9 billion ISK on its own - more than the Phoenix, the Revelation and the Revelation Navy Issue that also died in the same system, added together. Twelve capitals burned in Vecamia on the way to a 132 billion ISK total. Only one of the losses was a battleship, and it is the one everyone will remember.
