Vargur Cracks Under Fire in C-7SBM Ambush
A Vargur worth 2.6 billion ISK was brought down in C-7SBM after a 25-pilot clash closed around Weapons Of Mass Production.’s Cleo Caz. The marauder did not go quietly, but once Deepwater Hooligans and their allies had it pinned, the outcome was decided quickly.
THE CATCH
The fight in C-7SBM appears to have centred on a single, highly valuable target: Cleo Caz’s Vargur of Weapons Of Mass Production., flying under The Stellar Militia. What began as a compact engagement turned into a lethal problem for the marauder as Deepwater Hooligans, backed by pilots from several other groups, applied enough pressure to keep the ship from slipping free.
THE PRESSURE BUILDS
The attacking side fielded 16 pilots credited on the final blow, with damage spread across a mix of battlecruisers, cruisers, and heavier support. A Tempest, Cyclone, Zealot, and Harbinger all contributed to the damage, suggesting the Vargur was under sustained fire rather than erased by a single lucky volley. The presence of an Eos on the field, flown by Spotlight06 of Deepwater Hooligans, ultimately sealed the kill.
THE BREAK
The Vargur’s wreck tells the rest of the story. Nearly 1,500 rounds of Hail L were destroyed along with large stacks of Barrage L and Republic Fleet ammunition, a sign that the ship was still fighting when it was overwhelmed. The marauder’s 2.6 billion ISK value was split between 1.6 billion ISK destroyed and 1 billion ISK recovered, making this a costly loss even before any wider operational impact is considered.
THE CONSEQUENCE
For Weapons Of Mass Production., the loss of a marauder in a 25-pilot engagement is a sharp reminder of how exposed even a heavily armed ship can become when the trap closes. For Deepwater Hooligans and their allies, it was a clean prize: a high-value target isolated, pinned, and eventually finished in open space. In a region where every expensive hull invites attention, C-7SBM has now recorded one of the day’s more painful reversals.
