Revelation Navy Issue Falls in 24.5B ISK Clash in J122520

A short but expensive fight in J122520 ended with Brave Collective losing a Revelation Navy Issue and three other capital ships in a 24.5 billion ISK engagement. No Vacancies. appears to have carried the heavier punch, with 47 participants converging in the wormhole system before the field broke around the doomed capital.

THE CATCH

The action in J122520 unfolded fast, lasting just under four minutes from first contact to the end of the fight. What began as a capital-scale clash in a wormhole system quickly turned into a costly breakdown for Brave Collective, whose force included a Revelation Navy Issue, two Phoenixes, and a Phoenix Navy Issue among the losses recorded.

THE BREAK

The most expensive prize of the engagement was the Revelation Navy Issue flown by Ph0enix Down of Brave Collective's Incredible. corporation. It was destroyed for 9.6 billion ISK, with 7.4 billion ISK in value removed from the field and 2.2 billion ISK recovered. The final blow came from Poiuyt20 Fliba in a Zirnitra, after 37 attackers had helped grind the ship down.

THE PRESSURE

The damage spread beyond the flagship. Notable attackers included a Praedormitan Missile source listed among the fighting, suggesting the engagement drew in more than one element, while a Drifter Response Battleship and a Brave Collective Phoenix Navy Issue also appear in the combat mix. The presence of helium isotopes, strontium clathrates, nanite repair paste, and Scorch XL among the notable item losses suggests the ships were fully stocked for serious capital warfare, and some of that stock never made it out.

THE COST

By the end, Brave Collective had lost four ships in all, while No Vacancies. emerged as the listed attacker organization on the field. For a fight of this duration, the value destroyed is what stands out most: a 24.5 billion ISK engagement that stripped a capital asset from the battlefield and left behind the kind of wreckage that tends to echo well beyond a single system in wormhole space.

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.
