THE CATCH
The fight in P9F-ZG appears to have been brief, but it was anything but minor. By the time the Tholos was brought down, six pilots had become part of the engagement, with Invidia Gloriae Comes facing off against Insidious. in a clash that ended with one very expensive ship on the losing side.
THE BREAK
The final blow was delivered by SGypsophila in a Flycatcher, a sign that the killing pressure came from speed and control rather than brute force alone. Jeasonbro Li’s Ishtar also dealt heavy damage, suggesting the target was pinned down long enough for the attackers to keep the Tholos under sustained fire until it cracked.
THE LOSSES
The destruction of the Tholos accounts for 884.9 million ISK of the total loss, while 626.5 million ISK appears to have been recovered from the wreck. The ship’s payload tells the same story of a hard-fought catch: large ammunition stocks, including Scourge Rage Rockets, Inferno Rage Rockets, and Mjolnir Rage Rockets, were present alongside Hail S and a substantial amount of Nanite Repair Paste.
THE CONSEQUENCE
For Insidious. and pilot Kosipol, the loss is significant on its own terms. A Tholos is not the sort of ship that disappears quietly, and in a small engagement like this, the destruction of such a hull is likely to be remembered as a sharp and expensive setback. For the attackers, the result suggests a cleanly executed interception in which a valuable target was found, held, and finished before escape was possible.
