Thanatos and Redeemer Lost in Rapid MY-T2P Strike

A short, sharp strike in MY-T2P ended with two expensive hulls gone in moments, including a 3.6 billion ISK Thanatos that appears to have been cornered by a mixed force from Fraternity. and Sparrow In Cage. The fight lasted only seconds on the clock, but it left behind a heavy capital loss and the wreckage of a covert escalation that clearly had room for more than one side to get drawn in.

THE CATCH

The engagement in MY-T2P unfolded as a compact ambush rather than a drawn-out fleet exchange. Fourteen participants were involved, but the action resolved quickly enough that the key story is the trap closing on a Fraternity. Thanatos flown by nana zhu of Stardust-Guardian. The carrier was destroyed for a total value of 3.6 billion ISK, making it the clear centrepiece of the clash and the kind of loss that can quickly change how cautiously capital hulls move through the region.

THE ATTACKERS

The final blow came from Heartache9 flying a Purifier for Sparrow In Cage, but the damage profile suggests the carrier was already under sustained pressure before the bomber landed the finishing strike. Notable attackers included hulls from Sparrow In Cage such as a Widow and multiple Redeemers, while the report also shows Fraternity. listed among the attacker organisations. That mixed picture suggests this was not a simple one-sided brawl, but a brief engagement where multiple parties were present and the carrier became the prize everyone could strike at.

THE BREAK

The Thanatos did not go quietly. The wreckage shows fighters, capital modules and logistics support items destroyed or scattered in the aftermath, including a Fighter Support Unit II and a Capital Armor Repairer I among the notable losses. More than 91,000 Oxygen Isotopes were destroyed with the ship, a reminder that capitals do not just vanish—they leave behind a costly trail of fuel, fittings and momentum when their defence fails. A second ship, a Redeemer, was also lost in the same incident, turning the encounter into more than a single capital mishap.

WHAT IT COST

At 4.7 billion ISK in combined value, this was a brief fight with outsized consequences. The loss of a Thanatos is the sort of event that can force caution across a pocket of space, especially when it comes at the hands of a small, hard-hitting force rather than a massive formed-up battle line. In MY-T2P, the result suggests a successful hunt that found its target exposed for just long enough—and in New Eden, that is often all it takes.

Scan Stakan Killed 55 Ships and Lost 186 in the Same Fight

E-WMT7 produced 376 killmails, somewhere around 134 billion ISK of wreckage, and one battleship worth more than a force auxiliary, a Nestor and a Typhoon Fleet Issue put together. The number that stings harder is 186. That is how many ships Scan Stakan lost in the same engagement in which they killed 55 - top of the kill list and top of the loss list, in a single three-and-a-half-hour afternoon.

x Never Regret x Takes 40 Kills as Raa Burns 26 Capitals

At 17:28 UTC, a Retriever died in Raa. Retrievers die constantly, and in Devoid that is more or less the job description. This one is only worth mentioning because of what followed it: for the next hundred minutes, a system on the edge of Amarr space turned into a scrapyard, and by the time the last shot landed at 19:10, 87 ships had been destroyed and the bill had reached 157.4 billion ISK. Almost half of that was one Revelation.

Rattini Tribe and Prime Directive. Split Dal's 192 Billion ISK Bill

An Amarr Shuttle belonging to G0lden Fleet. died in Dal at 16:15 UTC. That is not normally the opening line of a 192 billion ISK story, but Dal spent the next three hours and forty-one minutes making sure nobody forgot it. By the time the last capsule in the system - belonging to x Never Regret x - came apart at 19:56, 557 pilots had produced 516 confirmed losses, fourteen capital ships had been wrecked, and the Heimatar system had eaten just over 192 billion ISK. That is not a skirmish somebody stumbled into. That is a decision, made over and over, for the better part of four hours.

Brave Newbies Topped Both Sides of the HY-RWO Ledger

The first ship to die in HY-RWO was a Rokh worth 44.7 billion ISK, and it set the tone for everything that came after. Over the following hour, 1,883 pilots fought in the Catch system, 243 ships were destroyed, and around 205 billion ISK was removed from the economy one killmail at a time. Not a single capital ship died. In a fight of that size, the most expensive losses were ordinary battleships, fitted in a way that makes the word 'ordinary' sound absurd.
