Stormbringer Destroyed in Ono Ambush
A 1.4 billion ISK Stormbringer was brought down in Ono in a brief skirmish that left little room for escape. The ship, flown by Andraste of La French Camaraderie, was finished by Honzas Krutas in a Proteus after an attack involving at least two hostile pilots, with the engagement resolving almost as quickly as it began.
THE CATCH
The fight in Ono was small, but it was sharp enough to claim an expensive prize. With only four pilots tied to the encounter, the Stormbringer appears to have been isolated before the attackers committed enough damage to force the loss. The battle ended at the same moment it began, suggesting a close-range interception rather than a prolonged exchange.
THE BREAK
Honzas Krutas, flying a Proteus for Novus Ordo., landed the final blow and accounted for most of the damage done to the target. He was not alone, though the only other attacker listed was an unaligned Pithi Demolisher, a reminder that even a compact fight can drag in unexpected support. Against that pressure, the Stormbringer did not survive the engagement.
THE LOSSES
The destruction split the ship’s value roughly between loss and salvageable wreckage, with 881.4 million ISK destroyed and 542.1 million ISK dropped. Ammunition and charges scattered across the field tell part of the story: ElectroPunch Ultra M and Guristas Iron Charge S, Nova Light Missile, and a thousand Guristas Inferno Rockets were recovered, while StrikeSnipe Ultra M was obliterated in the blast. For a single ship kill, the haul makes clear this was no routine cruiser catch.
WHY IT MATTERS
Single-ship losses like this matter because they expose the risk hidden inside quiet space. A Stormbringer is not the sort of hull that disappears cheaply, and in Ono the attackers turned a brief opening into a costly result for La French Camaraderie. Even without a wider fleet action, the destruction of a 1.4 billion ISK ship is enough to mark the encounter as a clean and expensive hunt.
