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.
