THE CATCH
The fight in D-PNP9 appears to have centred on a single expensive target that was caught at close range and quickly overwhelmed. The Vargur, flown by Kane Jackdaw of Invidia Gloriae Comes, was a high-value prize in its own right, and the scale of the engagement suggests the hunters had enough presence in system to force a decisive engagement rather than merely shadow the target.
THE NET CLOSES
Siberian Squads is listed as the main attacking organisation, with 13 attackers credited on the final loss and 20 participants recorded overall. The composition points to a covert-heavy strike, with multiple Redeemers on grid and at least one Centus Tyrant among the damage dealers. That mix suggests the attack was built to pin the Vargur in place and pour damage onto it before any escape could take shape.
THE BREAK
Dennis Schastliviy’s Redeemer landed the final blow, but the damage total shows this was not the work of a single ship. Much of the Vargur’s 1.9 billion ISK value was destroyed or lost in the exchange, with 780.7 million ISK dropped and 1.2 billion ISK destroyed. The ship’s cargo and fittings also underline the scale of the loss, with ammunition and modules scattering across the wreckage as the Marauder went up.
THE LOSSES
For Invidia Gloriae Comes, the destruction of a Vargur is the kind of loss that hurts immediately. Marauders do not die cheaply, and in D-PNP9 the ship was stripped of both value and tempo before the defenders could turn the situation around. The presence of multiple attackers, including at least one unnamed participant and a mix of covert ships, suggests this was less a duel than a deliberate hunt that ended exactly where the hunters wanted it to.
