Sunesis Cut Down in Vellaine, Carrying Nearly a Billion ISK in Cargo
A lone Sunesis worth 1.2 billion ISK was destroyed in Vellaine after a Tornado caught it and ended the escape before help could matter. The ship, flown by Nonstop7-A1 of HOLD MY PROBS’ Scan Stakan, was carrying cargo that made the loss sting far beyond the hull itself.
THE CATCH
The engagement was brief and concentrated: four participants, one victim, one attacker organisation, and a single ship left in pieces. On paper it was a small encounter, but the numbers underneath tell a harsher story. The Sunesis was carrying a haul that included Triglavian Survey Databases, Zero-Point Condensate, and Tangled Power Conduits — the sort of cargo that turns an ordinary loss into a costly mistake.
THE SHOT THAT ENDED IT
Scotty Scoutien, flying a Tornado for dxdiag windows 98, claimed the final blow and did 5,897 damage. That kind of burst suggests the target had little room to recover once it was found. The Sunesis itself accounted for 290 million ISK of destroyed value, but most of the total loss appears to have come from what was saved and what was not. Of the 1.2 billion ISK tied to the ship and its fittings, 877.5 million ISK was recovered by the attackers, while 290 million ISK was destroyed outright.
THE PRICE OF BEING CAUGHT
For Nonstop7-A1 and HOLD MY PROBS, the loss was not just a ship gone dark in Vellaine. The cargo alone suggests the Sunesis was moving something worth guarding, and the destruction of items like Crystalline Isogen-10 and Tripped Power Circuit adds to the sense that part of the haul simply vanished in the wreckage. A ship built for speed and flexibility can survive a mistake only if it is not pinned down at the wrong moment; here, it seems, that moment came and went quickly.
WHY IT MATTERS
This was not a fleet battle, but it was still a clean and expensive catch. In low-security space, a single well-timed ambush can erase far more than the hull on the field, and Vellaine now has one more example of how quickly a lightweight transport can become a high-value prize. For dxdiag windows 98, it was a tidy interception. For the victim, it was a reminder that even a fast ship cannot outrun every set of eyes in the system.
