THE CATCH
The engagement unfolded over roughly 44 minutes, but the decisive moments appear to have come much faster. A Tengu, one of the more expensive prizes in the fight, was destroyed after taking 21,578 points of damage from a single attacker identified only as Unknown attacker in a Corpatis Fanatic. For the pilot, SoyunaNegra Attor of Naval Defence Alliance’s Naval Defence Academy, the ship’s destruction marked the sharp end of a bad situation that had already become unwinnable.
THE PRIZE
The Tengu carried the weight of the battle’s value. At 1.4 billion ISK, it accounted for the most significant loss in the report, with 888.6 million ISK destroyed and another 559.6 million ISK salvaged or recovered in the wreckage. The hold tells its own story: thousands of Mjolnir Rage and Javelin heavy assault missiles were on board, suggesting the ship was prepared for sustained combat rather than a quiet patrol. Instead, it became the centerpiece of the fight’s collapse.
THE SECOND LOSS
The Tengu was not alone in going down. A Vindicator was also destroyed in the same clash, bringing the total ship losses to two. The presence of both a heavy assault cruiser and a battleship-class hull points to an encounter with real punch on both sides, even if the available data only names one final attacker. With seven participants recorded overall, this was not a large-scale brawl, but it was violent enough to leave a marked financial dent.
THE AFTERMATH
The attackers were listed as a mix of Unaligned attackers and Fraternity., while the victims were both from Naval Defence Alliance. That combination suggests an encounter that drew in more than one hostile element, or at least more than one line of pressure on the defending side. Whatever the exact shape of the fight, the result was straightforward: two ships lost, one expensive Tengu stripped from the field, and a reminder that even a small engagement in UEXO-Z can turn quickly into a costly trap.
