Deepwater Hooligans Seize Control of 2G-VDP

Control of 2G-VDP has moved from Minmatar Fleet Alliance to Deepwater Hooligans, marking a clear sovereignty shift in the system and a notable expansion of Deepwater Hooligans' footprint.

THE SHIFT

The sovereignty map now places 2G-VDP under Deepwater Hooligans control, ending Minmatar Fleet Alliance's hold on the system. The transfer is a straightforward but significant change: one alliance has lost a foothold while another has added a new piece to its territorial network.

THE NEW FOOTING

Deepwater Hooligans now lists 30 holdings, up from the 13 associated with the previous owner in this record. That wider base of control may signal growing reach and a stronger platform for future operations, especially if 2G-VDP sits within a broader chain of contested or strategically useful systems.

THE PRESSURE LINE

For Minmatar Fleet Alliance, the loss suggests a setback in local strategic depth. Even when a single system changes hands, the effect can ripple outward by altering movement options, staging value, and the confidence of allies and rivals watching the border. The immediate consequence is not just the loss of a system, but a visible shift in momentum.

WHAT IT MAY SIGNAL

With the map now updated, attention turns to whether this transfer is part of a wider push or an isolated territorial adjustment. The change in ownership could indicate a more ambitious consolidation effort by Deepwater Hooligans, or it may simply reflect one more step in an ongoing struggle for regional influence. Either way, 2G-VDP now stands as evidence that the balance around it has changed.

Scan Stakan Fed 146 Ships to the F-5WYK Grinder

Ninety-one minutes. Two thousand four hundred and forty-two pilots. Two hundred and ninety-eight wrecks. And one Apocalypse Navy Issue that cost more on its own than the next three most expensive losses of the fight put together. F-5WYK, out in the nullsec region of Perrigen Falls, spent three quarters of a trillion ISK in an hour and a half. When the shooting stopped, one alliance accounted for very nearly half the wreckage - and nobody had lost a Titan.

ChuangShi Parked 234 Ships in P-ZMZV. Can't park there m8 Noticed.

The first confirmed loss in P-ZMZV wasn't a ship. At 13:49 the opening entry on the killboard is a capsule - a pilot's escape pod, logged and destroyed. The last entry, some two and a half hours later, is an Osprey Navy Issue flown for Black Layer Syndicate. In between, the system swallowed 581 losses and roughly 1.77 trillion ISK, and when the shooting finally stopped, one side was still out there sweeping the grid for pods.

Rattini Tribe Topped Amamake's Kills and Its Losses

At 22:01 UTC the first wreck of the night was a Slasher, a frigate so cheap it barely registers as a rounding error in a system like Amamake. Nearly four hours later, at 01:59, a Hecate stopped burning and the shooting finally trailed off. In between, Heimatar's most notorious lowsec system swallowed a Titan, a supercarrier, thirty-three capitals and somewhere in the region of 12.2 trillion ISK of everything else. The final tally: 1,705 ships destroyed, roughly 44,900 pilots credited across the killmails, and one alliance sitting proudly at the top of both the kill column and the loss column.

From Three Systems to One: STAKAN UNIVERSE Holds Perrigen Falls

The sovereignty pressure on STAKAN UNIVERSE in Perrigen Falls has not disappeared. It has contracted. What began as a contest spread across three systems has narrowed to a single one, OBV-YC, and the attackers pressing it have made no visible headway across roughly five days of tracking. This is not a rout. It is something quieter, and for the defenders, considerably better.
