Siseide Clash Leaves 3.6B ISK Wreckage in Its Wake

A 76-pilot engagement in Siseide ended with 31 ships destroyed and 3.6 billion ISK in losses, as Fraternity. and allied groups came out ahead in a fight that cut across several fleets and left a trail of wreckage behind.

THE ENGAGEMENT CLOSES

The fighting in Siseide stretched across a long window and ended with Fraternity. and Fraternity Auxiliary, supported by other allies, on the stronger side of the exchange. Against them stood Smile 'n' Wave, Minmatar Fleet Alliance, Aurora., Post Mortem Services, and others. The battle was not a single sharp strike so much as a sustained clash that gradually thinned both sides, with 76 participants trading blows before the field settled.

THE HEAVIEST LOSSES

The largest share of the damage fell on Smile 'n' Wave and Minmatar Fleet Alliance, and others, which absorbed nearly 2.8 billion ISK of the destruction. Fraternity. and its allies also took meaningful losses, but at a far lower total, while Aurora. lost more than 150 million ISK. The ship breakdown points to a mixed engagement: Caracals, Osprey Navy Issues, Tornados, Sleipnirs, Coercer Navy Issues, and Scythes were all among the wrecks left behind.

A FLEET FIGHT, NOT A CLEAN HUNT

The composition suggests this was more than a quick catch. With battlecruisers, destroyers, cruisers, and logistics all represented among the losses, the action appears to have been an organised fleet engagement that escalated into a broader exchange rather than a simple ambush. Fraternity. and Fraternity Auxiliary accounted for most of the attacker-side pressure, while smaller contributions from WarDogs League, Sedition., and Rogue Industries helped widen the fight.

WHY IT MATTERS

At 3.6 billion ISK, the battle was expensive enough to matter even without a single iconic capital on the field. For Smile 'n' Wave and its allies, the cost was steep; for Fraternity. and its partners, the result suggests they controlled the pace of the encounter and forced the more painful trade. In New Eden, that kind of exchange does not just leave wrecks — it leaves a warning.

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.
