Stormbringer Destroyed in Sudden AD177 Ambush
A Stormbringer belonging to HOLD MY PROBS was caught and destroyed in AD177, ending in a 2.2 billion ISK loss that left little time for an escape. The ship fell to a lone Starving Vedmak from Perun Clade, turning what may have been a routine move into a costly and abrupt loss.
THE CATCH
The engagement in AD177 appears to have been brief and unforgiving. With only three participants recorded, the fight never grew into a broader brawl; instead, it resolved quickly around one exposed Stormbringer flown by Oblom Rova of Scan Stakan. Perun Clade provided the only confirmed attacker, and the destruction of the ship suggests the target was isolated before it could pull clear.
THE BREAK
The final blow came from a Starving Vedmak, piloted by an unknown attacker from Perun Clade. That single ship did all the work needed to finish the Stormbringer, dealing 49,456 damage and closing the trap decisively. In a fight this small, there was no room for recovery once the attack landed.
THE LOSSES
The Stormbringer’s wreck tells the scale of the setback. Roughly 1.1 billion ISK in modules and cargo appears to have been lost with the ship, while another 1.1 billion ISK survived to be scooped or recovered. Among the items tied to the loss were ElectroPunch Ultra M, GalvaSurge Condenser Pack M, a Triglavian Survey Database, and SKINR Studio Supplies — the sort of mixed hold that makes a destroyed hull sting all the more.
WHY IT MATTERS
For HOLD MY PROBS, the loss removes a valuable combat platform in a single, sharp stroke. For Perun Clade, it was a clean hunt and a reminder that even expensive ships can vanish quickly when they are caught alone. In New Eden, the difference between a successful run and a wreck can be measured in a few seconds — and 2.2 billion ISK.
