Widow Crushed in 4-HWWF as Fraternity. Bombers Close the Net
A Ranger Regiment Widow worth 1.9 billion ISK was destroyed in 4-HWWF after Fraternity. covert ops bombers brought a sudden end to the black ops battleship. The ship’s loss came quickly, with four Fraternity. pilots on Purifiers sharing the damage and Ling Hu Chong landing the final blow.
THE CATCH
The engagement in 4-HWWF was brief, but it was enough to claim one of EVE’s more dangerous hulls. XANTARE of Ranger Regiment, flying the Widow for Euphoria., lost the ship in a fight involving seven participants overall. For a vessel built to operate in the shadows, the outcome was starkly public: a 1.9 billion ISK black ops battleship was pulled apart before it could escape.
THE STRIKE
Fraternity.’s attack came from four Purifier pilots — Ling Hu Chong, Xu Zhu x, Guo Jing x, and Duan Yu x — who all helped wear the Widow down. The damage pattern suggests a coordinated covert strike rather than a drawn-out brawl. Ling Hu Chong, also of Fraternity., secured the final blow, ending the fight with a 5,595-damage hit in a Purifier.
THE LOSSES
The Widow was not only destroyed; it was stripped of a costly loadout in the process. Around 1.6 billion ISK in value was lost with the ship, while 298.4 million ISK dropped into the aftermath. Among the items recovered or destroyed were large stocks of Nitrogen Isotopes and rage torpedoes, while nanite repair paste and additional torpedoes were lost with the hull.
WHY IT MATTERS
A black ops battleship does not disappear cheaply, and its destruction always carries a warning for anyone flying expensive covert assets in hostile space. In 4-HWWF, Fraternity. appears to have turned a moment of exposure into a decisive kill, and the result is a reminder that even the heaviest hidden gun can be caught when the hunters arrive first.
