Ten-Billion-ISK Force Crushed in J133234 as Blue Loot Not Included Closes the Trap

A 10.2 billion ISK force was wiped out in J133234 after Blue Loot Not Included and Kitchen Sinkhole collided in a long-running large engagement that left 23 ships destroyed and 50 pilots committed to the field. The heaviest losses fell on Kitchen Sinkhole, whose side appears to have absorbed the worst of the damage as the fight dragged on over several hours.

THE TRAP CLOSES

What began in J133234 at 15:27 UTC stretched into a grinding clash that did not end until 20:16 UTC, suggesting a fight that escalated well beyond a quick interception. Blue Loot Not Included and Kitchen Sinkhole were the only organizations named in the data, but the balance of losses points to a concentrated engagement in which one side managed to bring sustained pressure to bear over time.

THE LOSSES

Kitchen Sinkhole took the heaviest punishment, accounting for more than 8 billion ISK of the destruction recorded in the battle. Blue Loot Not Included also suffered losses, with just over 2.1 billion ISK destroyed, but the scale of the wreckage suggests the outcome tilted decisively against Kitchen Sinkhole once the shooting settled into its final phase. The final blow is attributed to WarBeacon, with the destroyed ship marked at 10.2 billion ISK overall.

THE HARDWARE LEFT BEHIND

The ship losses tell the story of a fleet caught in dangerous company: multiple Nighthawks were destroyed, alongside Harbinger Navy Issues, Basilisks, and Cenotaphs. That mix suggests a compact but capable force, with command ships and logistics committed alongside heavier combat hulls. When Basilisks start going down, a fight like this is usually no longer about holding the field so much as surviving the collapse.

WHY IT MATTERS

With 23 ships lost in a single large-scale engagement, this was not a routine skirmish. Even without alliance banners to widen the political picture, the destruction of a 10.2 billion ISK target in one prolonged clash is enough to mark the encounter as a costly one. In New Eden, that kind of loss can reshape what a group is willing to risk the next time it undocks into J133234.

ChuangShi Parked 234 Ships in P-ZMZV. Can't park there m8 Noticed.

The first confirmed loss in P-ZMZV wasn't a ship. At 13:49 the opening entry on the killboard is a capsule - a pilot's escape pod, logged and destroyed. The last entry, some two and a half hours later, is an Osprey Navy Issue flown for Black Layer Syndicate. In between, the system swallowed 581 losses and roughly 1.77 trillion ISK, and when the shooting finally stopped, one side was still out there sweeping the grid for pods.

Rattini Tribe Topped Amamake's Kills and Its Losses

At 22:01 UTC the first wreck of the night was a Slasher, a frigate so cheap it barely registers as a rounding error in a system like Amamake. Nearly four hours later, at 01:59, a Hecate stopped burning and the shooting finally trailed off. In between, Heimatar's most notorious lowsec system swallowed a Titan, a supercarrier, thirty-three capitals and somewhere in the region of 12.2 trillion ISK of everything else. The final tally: 1,705 ships destroyed, roughly 44,900 pilots credited across the killmails, and one alliance sitting proudly at the top of both the kill column and the loss column.

Big Vantus Paid 15 Ships Toward Pochven's 72 Billion ISK Tab

Of the 47 ships destroyed in Ignebaener, 46 were, in ISK terms, background noise. The 47th was a Paladin valued at just under 57.5 billion ISK - close to four-fifths of everything the system destroyed in one sitting. One hull, one pilot, one very bad moment, and the number that will define this fight long after the killboards stop updating.
