THE CATCH
The loss took place at 20:42 UTC in YZ-UKA, where the Fraternity. Tengu piloted by yeyuyanhan was destroyed in an encounter involving just two participants. The scale suggests a brief interception rather than a prolonged fight, with Unaligned attackers claiming the ship in an attack that ended almost as soon as it began.
THE TARGET
The Tengu is never a trivial prize, and this one carried a total value of 1.2 billion ISK. The damage profile points to a ship fitted for serious combat, with Scourge Rage Heavy Assault Missiles among the items lost and destroyed in the wreckage. That kind of fit makes the loss sting well beyond the hull itself.
THE FINAL BLOW
The last shot came from an unidentified attacker flying a Serpentis Cruise Missile Battery, an unusual detail that gives the kill a distinctly asymmetric feel. One attacker did all the work here, dealing 81,390 damage and bringing the cruiser down without support from a larger formation. The result suggests the target was isolated and quickly finished before help could arrive.
THE PRICE OF SPEED
The wreck left 654.2 million ISK destroyed and 497.1 million ISK dropped, a painful split for a ship of this class. For Fraternity., it is a sharp reminder that even well-armed strategic cruisers can vanish fast when caught out alone. In New Eden, a moment’s exposure can turn a valuable vessel into debris in seconds.
