Thanatos Caught and Destroyed in 3T7-M8 Raid
A Solyaris Chtonium Thanatos was ripped apart in 3T7-M8 after a compact but dangerous hunt brought together 39 pilots and at least two hostile groups. The carrier’s destruction, worth 4.1 billion ISK, was the centrepiece of a 5.5 billion ISK engagement that also claimed an Ikitursa, turning a short fight into a costly loss for its owners.
THE CATCH
The Thanatos belonged to snarley Hillbillys of Solyaris Chtonium’s F0RCED ENTRY corporation, and it ended its run under pressure from Snuffed Out, with Rote Kapelle also present in the fight. The carrier was not simply overwhelmed by raw damage; the final blow came from StarConquer212 flying a Raptor, an abrupt finish that suggests the target had already been pinned down and worn into a vulnerable state.
THE FIGHT CLOSES
The engagement in 3T7-M8 ran for just over three minutes, but the compact timeline hides the amount of firepower on the field. Twenty-three attackers are listed against the Thanatos alone, while the wider clash involved 39 participants overall. That density points to a fast-moving engagement where the carrier was never far from danger once the trap closed.
WHAT THE CARRIER LOST
The Thanatos did not go quietly. Damage credited to 1st lieutenant Addis in a Vargur stands out among the attackers, while the wreck swallowed more than 61,000 Oxygen Isotopes, 193 Nanite Repair Paste, and a mixed flight of Dragonfly and Dromi drones. The losses reinforce how much is carried into space with a capital hull, and how little of that survives once control is lost.
THE COST OF THE SKIRMISH
Alongside the carrier, an Ikitursa was also destroyed, lifting the total value of the fight to 5.5 billion ISK. For Solyaris Chtonium, the loss of a Thanatos is the kind of event that matters well beyond the immediate wreck: capitals are not meant to vanish quickly, and when they do, the consequences are felt in both material expense and the caution it forces on every future undock.
