UALX-3 Fight Ends in 15.4B ISK Destruction After Hours-Long Clash

A grinding battle in UALX-3 stretched across more than four hours and left 15.4 billion ISK in wreckage behind. The engagement drew 114 pilots and appears to have become a broad coalition clash, with Brave Collective and the Curatores Veritatis Auxiliary on one side and Fraternity., Snuffed Out, and their partners on the other.

THE LONG ENGAGEMENT

What began shortly before midnight in UALX-3 escalated into a drawn-out fight that did not end until the early hours of the next day. The scale of the engagement suggests neither side was willing to yield ground quickly, and the length of the clash points to a contested field where control had to be fought for repeatedly rather than taken in a single blow.

THE FORCE COMMITTED

The fight brought together 114 participants and a mix of ships that speaks to a serious fleet action rather than a brief skirmish. Losses included 22 Gila hulls, along with Vedmaks, Vagabonds, Procurers, Sabres, and Maledictions. That spread suggests a chaotic engagement in which heavier combat ships, tackle, and support hulls were all exposed as the battle unfolded.

THE BREAK

The heaviest loss belonged to Brave Collective and the Curatores Veritatis Auxiliary side: a 15.4 billion ISK ship identified as UALX-3 was destroyed, with WarBeacon recorded as delivering the final blow. Fraternity. and Snuffed Out appear to have been the main pressure on the opposing force, supported by additional allied groups, and the destruction of such a valuable target indicates a decisive moment in the wider fight.

THE COST

By the end of the engagement, Brave Collective and the Curatores Veritatis Auxiliary, and others had absorbed the larger share of the damage, losing more than 12.8 billion ISK, while Fraternity., Snuffed Out, and their partners also took losses worth more than 2.5 billion ISK. The result leaves a costly footprint in UALX-3 and marks the clash as a significant regional engagement rather than an isolated exchange.

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.
