Tengu Lost in a Tight Wormhole Hunt in J150306
A Best Intentions. Tengu worth 1.6 billion ISK was caught and destroyed in J150306 after a small United Cats group closed quickly on the target. The ship’s loss left a sharp mark in the wormhole, where every overextension can become fatal in an instant.
THE CATCH
The engagement was brief, but it was decisive. In J150306, United Cats trapped a Best Intentions. Tengu flown by Glyndi and brought the cruiser down before it could break free. The destruction came in a fight involving seven pilots overall, with four attackers directly credited in the takedown.
THE HUNTERS CLOSE IN
United Cats committed a compact but effective lineup to the kill. Nick Kg landed the final blow in a Cenotaph, with support nearby from a Crow, a Lachesis, and a Huginn. That composition suggests a hunt built around pinning the target in place long enough for the damage to land, and the result shows the trap held.
THE PRICE OF THE MISTAKE
The Tengu accounted for the entire reported loss in the fight, with total value listed at 1.6 billion ISK. Of that, 987.2 million ISK was destroyed and 654.6 million ISK was recovered from the wreck. The ship’s fittings tell the same story: heavy assault missile ammunition and a Navy Cap Booster 200 point to a combat-fit cruiser caught in the wrong moment and unable to escape the pressure.
WHY IT MATTERS
For Best Intentions., the loss of a Tengu in wormhole space is more than a line of valuation. It is the kind of ship that is supposed to keep its distance, survive on mobility and control, and punish mistakes from a safer position. Instead, it became the prize in a fast United Cats interception, a reminder that in J150306 even a well-armed cruiser can be erased quickly once the hunters get the angle right.
