Stormbringer Destroyed in 3G-LHB Strike by Dracarys.

A Fraternity. Stormbringer worth about 1 billion ISK was destroyed in 3G-LHB in a sharp strike that brought together 24 participants and ended with Dracarys. claiming the field. The kill went to No money Smith in a Manticore, capping a brief but costly engagement for the defender.

THE CATCH

The Stormbringer, flown by slavko black Malukker of Balkan Mafia under the Fraternity. banner, was the clear prize in 3G-LHB. On paper it was a single ship loss; in practice it was an expensive and highly visible catch, with the engagement value landing at roughly 1 billion ISK. The target’s fittings suggest it was carrying a significant amount of firepower and utility, and the total value underscores how much was at stake the moment the fight closed in.

THE ATTACKERS CLOSE IN

Dracarys. appears to have brought a compact but serious hunting package to the fight, with 12 attackers credited on the final strike and a wider 24-pilot field involved around the engagement. The damage came from a spread of ships rather than a lone executioner: a Manticore delivered the final blow, while a Hound, Legion, Loki, and Purifier all contributed meaningful pressure. That mix suggests a coordinated ambush or focused interception rather than a chance encounter.

THE BREAK

Once the Stormbringer was pinned down, the fight appears to have turned quickly. The ship was destroyed outright, with 818.8 million ISK in losses going up in smoke and another 207.2 million ISK of fittings and cargo dropping for whoever held the field. Among the recovered items were large quantities of ammunition, repair paste, and Triglavian-related materials, while Zero-Point Condensate was among the items lost to the wreckage. The balance of drops and destruction suggests the defenders were not able to extract the ship intact once the hunters committed.

THE CONSEQUENCE

For Fraternity., the loss is significant less for the size of the fleet than for the value and focus of the catch. A Stormbringer is not the sort of hull that disappears quietly, and this one ended in a clean execution by Dracarys. and allies on grid. In a system like 3G-LHB, that kind of loss can ripple beyond the single hull itself: it signals that high-value ships remain vulnerable when they are isolated, and it gives the hunters a clear morale and material win from a fast, efficient strike.

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.
