Uemon Fight Ends with 90.5B ISK in Ship Losses

A major clash in Uemon ran for more than two and a half hours and left 171 ships destroyed, with losses totaling 90.5 billion ISK. The fight drew 453 pilots and appears to have pitted Fraternity. and Fraternity Auxiliary against Goonswarm Federation and Deepwater Hooligans in a prolonged large-scale engagement that steadily chewed through expensive hulls on both sides.

THE ESCALATION

The engagement began at 01:43 and did not end until after 04:18, giving Uemon the kind of drawn-out pressure cooker that usually signals neither side was willing to concede the field quickly. The participant count and the breadth of losses suggest a coordinated fleet action rather than a brief roaming skirmish, with both coalitions committing enough force to keep the fight alive over a long stretch of time.

THE HEAVY HULLS

The wreckage reflects a battle fought with serious assets. Among the ships lost were Apocalypse Navy Issue, Barghest, Raven, Raven Navy Issue, and Bifrost hulls, a mix that suggests both damage dealers and support ships were exposed as the fighting widened. Those losses point to a fleet engagement that punished expensive commitment on both sides rather than a quick pickup fight.

THE BREAK

Fraternity. and Fraternity Auxiliary are listed on the attack side, while Goonswarm Federation and Deepwater Hooligans took the larger share of the destruction by value, losing 47.4 billion ISK against 43 billion ISK for their opponents. The final blow is attributed to WarBeacon, and the report suggests the fight ended only after sustained pressure from a very large force had worn the field down enough to bring the decisive target apart.

WHY IT MATTERS

With 171 losses and nearly 100 billion ISK destroyed, the Uemon engagement stands as a costly regional battle rather than a passing exchange. Even without a clear single flagship loss, the scale of the destruction and the involvement of major nullsec blocs make it the sort of fight that can drain reserves, disrupt operations, and leave both sides counting the price of holding the line.

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.
