Revelation Navy Issue Cut Down in 9B ISK Ambush in XHQ-7V
A Revelation Navy Issue went down in XHQ-7V in a sudden, costly engagement that appears to have drawn a 29-pilot field into the kill zone. The ship, flown by Kahar Dex of The Curatores Veritatis Auxiliary, was destroyed for a total loss of 9B ISK after 16 attackers piled on to secure the kill.
THE TARGET
The ship at the center of the fight was no ordinary loss. A Revelation Navy Issue is an expensive and heavily committed hull, and in this case it was flown by Kahar Dex of Imperial Dreams, under The Curatores Veritatis Auxiliary. Its destruction in XHQ-7V suggests a moment of real vulnerability, with a high-value capital asset caught exposed long enough for a hostile force to close the net.
THE ATTACKERS CLOSE IN
Honorable Third Party claimed the kill, with support from other attackers including V0IDLINGS pilots who added pressure as the engagement unfolded. The heaviest damage came from Rofl- Copter in a Revelation Navy Issue, who landed the final blow, while md5oogle in a Phoenix and several Redeemers helped wear the target down. The concentration of capital and covert pressure points to a focused hunt rather than a casual brawl.
THE BREAK
The loss was not just the hull. About 6.5B ISK in assets was destroyed with another 2.5B ISK recovered, while 40,000 Helium Isotopes and large quantities of Nanite Repair Paste, Strontium Clathrates, and Navy Cap Booster 3200s were caught in the wreck. The cargo and fittings suggest the pilot was prepared for a serious deployment, but not prepared enough to survive the trap once the attackers committed.
THE CONSEQUENCE
For The Curatores Veritatis Auxiliary, the destruction of a Revelation Navy Issue is the kind of loss that is felt immediately and remembered for longer. The engagement in XHQ-7V was compact, but the value involved gives it weight far beyond a routine skirmish. In a cluster where every capital hull carries strategic and financial risk, this was a clean and expensive prize for the hunters who brought it down.
