Tengu Cut Down in P3EN-E as Small Gang Lands a Billion-ISK Prize
A Fraternity. Tengu worth 1.2 billion ISK was destroyed in P3EN-E in a sharp 9-participant skirmish that ended with Republic Military School and allied pilots claiming the field. The cruiser, flown by CN1123 of Fraternity.'s Special law enforcement department, was finished off by M2018M in an Exequror Navy Issue after a brief but costly exchange.
THE CATCH
The engagement in P3EN-E was brief, but it was expensive. A Fraternity. Tengu became the center of the action as a small group moved in on the strategic cruiser and forced the fight to close quickly. With only nine participants recorded, the clash had the feel of a hunting party seizing an opportunity before the target could slip away.
THE PRESSURE BUILDS
Republic Military School is credited with the final blow, but the damage came from a mix of ships working in close. M2018M in an Exequror Navy Issue delivered the last strike, while Picard X in an Osprey Navy Issue also contributed heavily. Charly5’s Sabre adds an important clue to how the target was held in place: the Tengu was not simply caught, it was pinned down long enough for the attackers to grind through its tank.
THE LOSSES
The Tengu’s destruction accounted for the full loss value of the fight, with 862.6 million ISK destroyed and 291.7 million ISK dropping into the wreck. The ship carried a substantial missile load, including large quantities of Scourge Fury Heavy Missile ammunition, much of it either destroyed or left behind in the wreckage. For CN1123 and Fraternity., the loss of a Tengu is the kind of blow that stings beyond the immediate ISK figure.
WHY IT MATTERS
Single-ship losses like this can reshape a local pocket of space more than their size suggests. A Tengu is not a casual battlefield casualty; it is a fitted, expensive cruiser that usually dies only when a pilot is outmatched, outnumbered, or caught at the wrong moment. In P3EN-E, the attackers found that moment and turned it into a clean, costly kill.
