THE CATCH
The fight in Decon appears to have centered on a single Tengu that became isolated long enough for attackers to bring sustained damage onto it. What might have been a routine cruiser engagement quickly turned into a focused hunt once Sedition. and other attackers were able to apply pressure. The victim, blue vodka of Valhalla Drinking Team, was flying a ship built to take punishment and keep moving, but this time the margins were not in its favour.
THE PRESSURE BUILDS
The damage came from more than one direction. Nikoli Munyami’s Vagabond ultimately landed the finishing strike, but the Tengu was already being worked over by Sedition. forces, a Vargur flown by Slistrim Arzi, and additional attackers including an Arazu. An unidentified Angel Cruise Missile Battery also contributed heavily, suggesting the target was caught in a dangerous pocket where both player ships and external fire were chewing through its defenses at the same time.
THE BREAK
Once the Tengu began to fail, the result was decisive. The ship was destroyed along with a substantial amount of fitted and carried ammunition, including thousands of missiles and a cache of Angel Platinum Tags. Of the 1.7 billion ISK tied up in the loss, about 478 million ISK was destroyed outright while 1.2 billion ISK appears to have been recovered as dropped loot, making the wreck a prize even after the kill itself was secured.
WHY IT MATTERS
For Valhalla Drinking Team, losing a Tengu in this way is a sharp reminder of how quickly an expensive cruiser can become vulnerable once it is held in place and forced to absorb damage. For Sedition. and its allies, the result suggests a successful interception rather than a prolonged stand-up fight: a 13-participant encounter that ended with the target dead and the field stripped of value. In Decon, the engagement reads less like a brawl and more like a clean catch that left one very expensive hull nowhere to run.
