Stay Feral Breaks a 6.1B ISK Force in J150754

A 16-ship force from Stay Feral caught a Black Ribbit and Four Winds Inc. contingent in J150754 and left behind 6.1 billion ISK in wreckage after nearly an hour of fighting. The engagement, which ran from 01:35 to 02:32 EVE time, ended with four ships destroyed and a costly result for the smaller side.

THE CATCH

What began in the wormhole system of J150754 turned into a prolonged hunt, with Stay Feral applying sustained pressure against a Black Ribbit and Four Winds Inc. force that never appears to have escaped the net. The battle report points to a 16-pilot attacking group against 2 defenders on one side of the exchange, though the fight itself clearly stretched beyond a simple numbers game. By the time the engagement ended, the field had been stripped of ships worth billions.

THE LOSSES

The wreckage was led by a Loki, with additional losses including Tengus, Sabres, a Rattlesnake, and a Cynabal. That mix suggests the destroyed force had both heavy offensive and support elements on the field, and that the fight became expensive quickly once ships started to drop. The total destruction came to 6.1 billion ISK, with almost all of it attributed to Black Ribbit and Four Winds Inc.

THE PRESSURE

Stay Feral’s presence dominated the exchange, and the report credits the group with 14 points of damage contribution against the target side. While the source does not spell out the exact sequence of the engagement, the duration of the fight suggests a sustained pursuit or series of exchanges rather than a brief strike. In wormhole space, that kind of extended contact often leaves little room for a clean withdrawal once the first ship goes down.

THE CONSEQUENCE

For Black Ribbit and Four Winds Inc., the fight ended in a sharp and measurable loss of field presence, with multiple cruisers and heavier hulls removed from the system. For Stay Feral, it was a decisive result: a high-value engagement won in hostile, uncertain space, and a reminder that even a small force can pay dearly when caught out. In J150754, the trap appears to have closed hard enough to make the cost impossible to ignore.

Rattini Tribe Topped Amamake's Kills and Its Losses

At 22:01 UTC the first wreck of the night was a Slasher, a frigate so cheap it barely registers as a rounding error in a system like Amamake. Nearly four hours later, at 01:59, a Hecate stopped burning and the shooting finally trailed off. In between, Heimatar's most notorious lowsec system swallowed a Titan, a supercarrier, thirty-three capitals and somewhere in the region of 12.2 trillion ISK of everything else. The final tally: 1,705 ships destroyed, roughly 44,900 pilots credited across the killmails, and one alliance sitting proudly at the top of both the kill column and the loss column.

At 02:06 UTC a Hurricane exploded in V2-GZS. Fourteen minutes later the last loss on the board was a capsule belonging to a Hounds of War. pilot, and the Kalevala Expanse had eight fewer capitals in it than it did a quarter of an hour earlier.

Big Vantus Paid 15 Ships Toward Pochven's 72 Billion ISK Tab

Of the 47 ships destroyed in Ignebaener, 46 were, in ISK terms, background noise. The 47th was a Paladin valued at just under 57.5 billion ISK - close to four-fifths of everything the system destroyed in one sitting. One hull, one pilot, one very bad moment, and the number that will define this fight long after the killboards stop updating.

Brave Newbies Lost 21 Ships in 4-07MU and Shot Back With Interest

Somewhere around 19:25 UTC, a Caracal Navy Issue died in 4-07MU and 912 pilots decided that was a reasonable invitation. Two hours later the system had produced 200 wrecks, 67.2 billion ISK of damage, and not one capital ship - just battleship after battleship feeding itself into a fight that refused to end. The killboards call it a gank. The killboards are only half right.
