Stormbringer Cut Down in AD153 as 2.7 Billion ISK Load Goes Up in Smoke
A Stormbringer in AD153 was destroyed in a sharp, one-on-one encounter that erased 2.7 billion ISK in hull and cargo. The ship, flown by Jerrardian of Five Fed Feeders, appears to have been caught by an unaligned attacker before it could escape, turning a single mistake or moment of exposure into a very expensive loss.
THE CATCH
The fight in AD153 was brief but brutal: two participants, one ship destroyed, and a Stormbringer left as the centerpiece of the engagement. With only an unaligned attacker on the other side, the action suggests a clean hunt rather than a fleet brawl. The destruction of a ship this expensive immediately marks the encounter as more than a routine skirmish.
THE PRIZE
Jerrardian’s Stormbringer carried value well beyond its hull. Of the 2.7 billion ISK tied up in the loss, 2.6 billion was destroyed outright, with only 129.7 million ISK recovered. The wreck also scattered a substantial cargo load, including stacks of StrikeSnipe Ultra M, GalvaSurge Condenser Pack M, and ElectroPunch Ultra M, while Triglavian Survey Database entries were split between what dropped and what was lost.
THE FINAL BLOW
The final blow came from an attacker identified only as Unknown attacker, flying an Unstable Abyssal Depths hull under the Unaligned attackers banner. The limited information leaves the exact sequence unclear, but the result is plain enough: the Stormbringer did not get away, and whatever defenses or exit plan were in play failed before the ship could be saved.
THE LOSS
For Five Fed Feeders, the destruction of a Stormbringer is the kind of loss that is felt immediately. Expensive ships are always a gamble in New Eden, but losing one in a fast, isolated encounter is a reminder that even a brief pause in the wrong system can become fatal. In AD153, that gamble ended with a wreck, a stripped cargo hold, and a kill that will linger as a costly lesson.
