THE CATCH
The fight in C-XNUA centred on a Zarmazd that appears to have been isolated at the wrong moment. What began as a limited engagement quickly became a focused hunt, with Fraternity. bringing eight attackers against a lone, valuable target from The Excommunicati. For a ship like the Zarmazd, every second under pressure matters, and this one did not get the time it needed.
THE BURN
As the pressure mounted, the attackers spread the work across multiple ships, with damage coming from a Cenotaph, Typhoon, Cyclone Fleet Issue, and even capsule pilots pressing in close. The mix suggests a deliberate attempt to keep the target pinned while stripping away its options. The Zarmazd fought through the exchange long enough for ammunition and repairs to be consumed, but the incoming fire kept building until the hull gave way.
THE BREAK
luyu01 of Fraternity. landed the final blow in a Cenotaph, closing out the destruction after 24,195 damage was recorded from the finishing ship alone. The wreck left behind a substantial split in value, with 879.5 million ISK destroyed and 641.3 million ISK dropped. Among the debris were thousands of Null M rounds, Caldari Navy Antimatter Charge M, Void M, and nanite repair paste — the sort of cargo that suggests the Zarmazd was not merely passing through, but ready for a fight that it could not win.
THE COST
The loss of a Zarmazd is never routine. At 1.5 billion ISK, it represents a serious blow for The Excommunicati and a clean prize for Fraternity. in a system where 12 pilots were enough to decide the outcome. In practical terms, the engagement reinforces how quickly a single expensive hull can become vulnerable when caught without room to manoeuvre — and how efficiently a small attacking group can turn that exposure into a headline loss.
