Stormbringer Cut Down in Litiura Hunt
A Novus Ordo. group in Litiura has claimed a 1.2 billion ISK Stormbringer, ending the ship’s run in a sharp, close-range catch that left only scraps and scattered modules behind. The loss fell to Andrew Beekeeper of HOLD MY PROBS, with Honzas Krutas in a Vexor delivering the final blow.
THE CATCH
The fight in Litiura was brief, but it was decisive. Six pilots were involved in the encounter, and Novus Ordo. appears to have brought enough pressure to pin down a Stormbringer that likely never had room to settle into the fight. What unfolded was less a drawn-out battle than a successful hunt: the kind of quick interception that turns an expensive ship into a wreck before the target can disengage.
THE STORMBRINGER FALLS
Andrew Beekeeper’s Stormbringer was the prize, and it was not a cheap one. The ship accounted for the full 1.2 billion ISK value of the loss, with 1 billion ISK destroyed and just 186 million ISK recovered. Honzas Krutas, flying a Vexor, landed the final blow after sustained damage from Novus Ordo. ships including Maller pilots Wonder Bomber Woman and Goddess of Destruction. The damage profile suggests a compact but committed attack rather than a casual opportunistic shot.
THE WRECKAGE
The aftermath shows the Stormbringer was carrying more than just standard combat fittings. Notable modules and ammunition were split between destruction and salvage, including ElectroPunch Ultra M rounds, StrikeSnipe Ultra M, Kerr Sequencers, and Core Scanner Probe I launchers or charges among the drops and losses. That mix hints at a fitted ship caught in the wrong place at the wrong time, unable to turn its value into an escape.
WHY IT MATTERS
A Stormbringer loss always lands hard, and this one was no exception. For HOLD MY PROBS, the destruction of a billion-ISK hull in a single engagement is the sort of setback that can sting long after the wreck has been cleared. For Novus Ordo., the kill is a clean reminder that even in a small local clash, a disciplined catch can decide everything before the target has time to react.
