UALX-3 Fight Ends in a 20.8B ISK Blow as Coalitions Trade Heavy Losses

A long-running battle in UALX-3 ended with 83 ships destroyed and 20.8 billion ISK erased from the field, as forces tied to Brave Collective and Goonswarm Federation clashed with Fraternity. and Snuffed Out alongside their allies. The fight stretched across more than five hours and developed into a major engagement, with both sides taking meaningful losses before the dust settled.

THE ENCOUNTER

What began in the middle of the night in UALX-3 grew into a prolonged fleet action rather than a quick hit-and-run. The engagement ran from 23:55 UTC on June 21 until just after 05:08 UTC on June 22, suggesting a sustained confrontation in which neither side was able to secure a rapid break. With 127 participants recorded, the scale points to an organised clash rather than a roaming skirmish.

THE EXCHANGE OF LOSSES

The damage was spread across a broad range of hulls, which suggests both sides were committed to trading blows instead of preserving smaller assets for a clean disengagement. Gila hulls accounted for the largest share of the losses, followed by Vedmaks, Vagabonds, Procurers, Sabres, and Scimitars. That mix points to a fight that involved damage dealers, tackle, logistics, and industrial hulls all being pulled into the same fire.

THE TURNING POINT

The largest single destruction in the battle was the 20.8B ISK loss tied to UALX-3 itself, credited to Fraternity. and Snuffed Out and others. WarBeacon’s final blow record places the event squarely at the centre of the engagement, making the system fight itself the story’s defining loss rather than any one ship on the margin. When a battle’s biggest prize is that costly, it tends to indicate a trap, a collapse, or a target that remained exposed long enough for the opposing force to land the decisive blow.

THE SIGNIFICANCE

For Brave Collective and Goonswarm Federation and their allies, the fight appears to have come at a steep price, with losses totalling more than 15.5B ISK on their side alone. Fraternity. and Snuffed Out also took over 5.2B ISK in destruction, which shows this was not a one-sided cleanup but a bruising exchange in which both coalitions paid to stay in the field. In a conflict of this scale, the loss of so many ships and so much value is enough to mark UALX-3 as a meaningful setback, even without any need to read further into the larger campaign.

ChuangShi Parked 234 Ships in P-ZMZV. Can't park there m8 Noticed.

The first confirmed loss in P-ZMZV wasn't a ship. At 13:49 the opening entry on the killboard is a capsule - a pilot's escape pod, logged and destroyed. The last entry, some two and a half hours later, is an Osprey Navy Issue flown for Black Layer Syndicate. In between, the system swallowed 581 losses and roughly 1.77 trillion ISK, and when the shooting finally stopped, one side was still out there sweeping the grid for pods.

Rattini Tribe Topped Amamake's Kills and Its Losses

At 22:01 UTC the first wreck of the night was a Slasher, a frigate so cheap it barely registers as a rounding error in a system like Amamake. Nearly four hours later, at 01:59, a Hecate stopped burning and the shooting finally trailed off. In between, Heimatar's most notorious lowsec system swallowed a Titan, a supercarrier, thirty-three capitals and somewhere in the region of 12.2 trillion ISK of everything else. The final tally: 1,705 ships destroyed, roughly 44,900 pilots credited across the killmails, and one alliance sitting proudly at the top of both the kill column and the loss column.

Big Vantus Paid 15 Ships Toward Pochven's 72 Billion ISK Tab

Of the 47 ships destroyed in Ignebaener, 46 were, in ISK terms, background noise. The 47th was a Paladin valued at just under 57.5 billion ISK - close to four-fifths of everything the system destroyed in one sitting. One hull, one pilot, one very bad moment, and the number that will define this fight long after the killboards stop updating.
