THE CATCH
The attack came down on a Tatara owned by Dutch Government and appears to have been handled as a concentrated takedown rather than a drawn-out siege. A total of 36 participants were tied to the engagement, with 33 attackers credited on the final loss record, suggesting AlcoSquad brought enough weight to keep the structure from surviving long enough for a clean escape or meaningful recovery.
THE BREAKDOWN
The Tatara did not survive the exchange. Most of the value was destroyed outright, with 7.6 billion ISK in losses and another 3.6 billion ISK in material dropping from the wreckage. The structure’s helium fuel blocks were consumed in the destruction, while the Tatara Upwell Quantum Core and Standup Reprocessing Facility I were among the items recovered from the aftermath. The result suggests the attackers found the structure exposed at the wrong moment, or simply brought more damage than its defenders could answer.
THE FINAL BLOW
CyHb XyHb MyHb, flying a Legion for AlcoSquad, landed the final blow after sustained damage from a spread of heavy hitters including multiple Ikitursa hulls. Gector22, MaHDa, cuccubus and KOPM XIII each contributed major damage, pointing to a disciplined, high-pressure assault rather than a lucky opportunistic shot. Once the attackers had control, the Tatara’s fate appears to have been sealed quickly.
THE LOSSES
For Dutch Government, the destruction of a Tatara is never just another hull lost. These structures are expensive, specialized, and difficult to replace, and their destruction in Jerma marks a meaningful setback in both assets and presence. For AlcoSquad, the strike is a clear demonstration of force: an 11.2 billion ISK prize taken down in a single engagement, with the attackers leaving the system with a wrecked capital-class industrial structure and the spoils that fell from it.
