Zirnitra Falls in 12.5B ISK Clash in Dal
A Zirnitra worth 7.2 billion ISK was destroyed in Dal after a 56-ship strike from Zarzakh Toe Inspection Committee helped tip a wider 85-pilot fight into disaster. The battle, which also claimed a Revelation, left Science and Trade Institute and Minmatar Fleet Alliance nursing a sharp and expensive loss.
THE HUNT CLOSES
The fighting in Dal stretched across nearly eleven minutes, but the centrepiece was the destruction of Asniete’s Zirnitra. The dreadnought-turned-battleship line is not something that disappears quietly, and this one drew concentrated fire from a mixed field that included both sides’ capital and heavy support ships. By the time the dust settled, the Zirnitra had been reduced to wreckage, with 6.4 billion ISK destroyed outright and only 806.4 million ISK recovered.
THE FINAL BLOW
The finishing shot came from 2013 Chevy Silverado in a Leshak, with Zarzakh Toe Inspection Committee listed among the attackers on the ship’s loss. The damage tally suggests the Zirnitra was already under sustained pressure before the last blow landed. Notable losses from the hull’s fit included large quantities of Helium Isotopes and several types of XL ammunition, underlining how much firepower the ship had been carrying when it went down.
THE SECOND CAPITAL
The Zirnitra was not the only heavy ship to burn in the engagement. A Revelation also appears among the reported losses, giving the fight a more serious edge than a simple ambush on a single target. With 85 participants involved and two major capital-class losses recorded, the clash in Dal looks less like a passing skirmish and more like a coordinated engagement that escalated beyond what either side could absorb cleanly.
WHAT DAL COST
For Science and Trade Institute and Minmatar Fleet Alliance, the result was not just a lost ship but a 12.5 billion ISK swing in a system where the fight appears to have been hard enough to draw both sides into open confrontation. For Zarzakh Toe Inspection Committee, the Zirnitra kill stands out as the kind of expensive prize that can define an evening in New Eden: a high-value target caught, boxed in, and finally broken before it could escape.
