Succubus Caught and Destroyed in CSOA-B Ambush
A costly hunt in CSOA-B ended with the destruction of a 2.1 billion ISK Succubus, after Fraternity. caught Lee Gemulus’s frigate in a 13-participant clash that appears to have turned on speed, pressure, and a sharply timed finish. The final blow came from Scott Sun flying an Imperial Navy Slicer, closing out a fight that left the assault frigate’s fittings shattered and much of its value stripped away.
THE CATCH
What started as a small engagement quickly became a lethal problem for the Succubus. The kill data points to Fraternity. bringing 10 attackers to bear against a D-sync. pilot in CSOA-B, with the victim’s ship carrying enough value to make every mistake expensive. Against that kind of attention, the Succubus appears to have had little room to maneuver once the net tightened.
THE FINISH
The decisive blow came from Scott Sun in an Imperial Navy Slicer, a fast hull well suited to the kind of close pursuit this fight suggests. Other Fraternity. ships added pressure, including a Kikimora, a Gnosis, and two Redeemers present in the attack group. The result was a swift destruction of the target and the loss of a ship that likely relied on speed and careful positioning to survive.
THE COST
The Succubus’s destruction accounted for 1.4 billion ISK in wrecked value, with another 643 million ISK recovered or dropped from the hull. Among the fittings lost were Sisters Core Scanner Probes, a Small Polycarbon Engine Housing II, a Small Core Defense Field Extender I, and a Nanofiber Internal Structure II, while a Small Shield Extender II was among the items that fell into the wreck. The fittings suggest a ship built to move quickly and stay elusive — exactly the sort of vessel that becomes fragile the moment it is pinned down.
WHY IT MATTERS
Even at this scale, the fight carries a familiar New Eden lesson: expensive ships do not need major battles to die, only a bad moment and a determined enemy. For D-sync., the loss of Lee Gemulus’s Succubus is a sharp reminder that high-value solo or small-group assets remain vulnerable in contested space. For Fraternity., it was a clean and profitable interception, the kind of kill that rewards patience and coordination.
