Vargur and Navy Issue Lost in 3.8B ISK Hadozeko Clash

A 3.8 billion ISK engagement in Hadozeko ended with Fraternity. and Fraternity Auxiliary taking control of the field and Ivy League, The Ravens' Nest, and others absorbing the bulk of the losses. The fight ran for more than an hour and a half, involved 23 pilots, and left behind a mixed wreckage of battlecruisers, cruisers, and a prized Vargur.

THE CATCH

The clash in Hadozeko appears to have begun as a concentrated interception rather than a sprawling battlefield free-for-all. By the time the dust settled, 10 ships had been destroyed and the losses were heavily tilted toward Ivy League, The Ravens' Nest, and associated pilots. Fraternity. and Fraternity Auxiliary emerged as the dominant attacking force, while the opposing side absorbed the damage in a fight that clearly escalated beyond a routine skirmish.

THE HEAVY HULLS

The wreckage tells the story of a fight that was not limited to throwaway ships. Alongside four Caracals, the field claimed an Osprey Navy Issue, a Drake, a Sunesis, and a Thrasher, but the ship that gives the engagement its weight was the Vargur. That marauder loss alone lifts the engagement from a standard roam into something far more costly and memorable.

THE BREAK

The report suggests Fraternity. and Fraternity Auxiliary maintained the upper hand throughout the engagement, with 23 attackers registered against the damaged side. The final blow is attributed to WarBeacon, and the battle data points to coordinated pressure rather than a single isolated strike. However the fight began, it ended with the larger share of ships from one side in flames and the other still standing long enough to claim the field.

THE PRICE OF HADOZEKO

For Ivy League, The Ravens' Nest, and others, the loss of 3.8 billion ISK in a single engagement is substantial even before the wider disruption is considered. For Fraternity. and Fraternity Auxiliary, the result reads as a clean, costly win in a localized clash that delivered a high-value prize and a visible statement of force in Hadozeko.

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.
