Widow Lost in Rapid Strike by Fraternity in M-OEE8
A Ranger Regiment Widow was caught and destroyed in M-OEE8 in a sharp two-ship strike by Fraternity., ending in a 1.7 billion ISK loss for the black-ops battleship and its pilot, YouDao Zhang of Euphoria..
THE CATCH
The engagement was over as quickly as it began. In M-OEE8, Fraternity. brought down a Widow flown by YouDao Zhang, with the attack appearing to come from a very small group rather than a full fleet. Only five pilots are tied to the broader incident, and the fight itself resolved in a single moment rather than a drawn-out exchange.
THE KILL
The final blow came from Tina Ortini in a Revelation Navy Issue, with Magah Ohu in a Purifier adding pressure before the Widow went down. The loss shows a vessel that is built to be dangerous and elusive being cornered by a compact, disciplined attack. For a black-ops battleship, every appearance on grid carries risk; here, that risk appears to have been punished immediately.
THE HAUL
The Widow was carrying a substantial amount of ammunition and fuel, including 71,666 Nitrogen Isotopes and large stocks of Rage torpedoes in several damage types. Some of that cargo dropped, while more was destroyed in the wreck, leaving 256.5 million ISK to be recovered from the total 1.7 billion ISK destruction. The ship itself accounted for most of the damage, with 1.4 billion ISK destroyed.
WHY IT MATTERS
A Widow loss is never just another hull on the wreckage report. Black-ops battleships are expensive, specialist assets, and their destruction in a small-scale clash suggests a target that was exposed for long enough to be punished. For Ranger Regiment, the loss of YouDao Zhang’s ship in M-OEE8 is a costly reminder that even a powerful covert platform can be brought down fast when a hostile window opens at the wrong time.
