After years anchored, the 1DQ Keepstar stood as a beacon - a symbol of hope and a tribute to a lost friend among the Imperium. Its end came not with chaos, but with honor - a Viking funeral witnessed by all of New Eden.

Friends and enemies answered the call, nearly 4,000 in local, with over 3,000 rifters taking to the skies. For one fleeting moment, the war paused.

Capsuleers stood side by side under a mutual pact - no shots fired, no grudges carried - just a unified farewell to a structure that defined an era.

As war scorches its path across New Eden, two titanic Keepstars fall - silent giants torn from the stars. No reinforcements came. No defenses answered. Only fire.

The destruction, captured by capsuleers across the cluster - and archived by The Scope by EVE Online—now lives on in this cinematic retelling.

EVE's beauty was on full display.
My computer saw the fireworks and tapped out at 10 FPS.

I present to you the fall of the Keepstars -
with a narrated catch-up by a lone, possibly doomed news anchor (we still don’t know if he made it out).

Weeks into the war between Goonswarm and Pandemic Horde, the first Keepstars have fallen. Why they weren’t contested remains unclear - these are not structures easily replaced.

I’ve added a narration to take you back, through the eyes of a news anchor - showcasing real-time footage from the early days of the war: the baited avalanche, the dreadnought losses, and the first Keepstar anchored by the Imperium.
This is a cinematic glimpse into a conflict escalating across New Eden, where sovereignty crumbles and war machines awaken.

This is a pinnacle moment in the war as the biggest structures are now falling.

Two major battles broke out in front of Horde’s Keepstar, where the imperium was anchoring some fortizars - totaling just under 500 billion ISK in destruction. This cinematic video covers both fights - I showed up fashionably late to the first, but was fully locked in for the second. Titans were used to destroy some capitals, after that it was just a massive brawl.

June 1, 2025 – PR-8CA, Delve
What began as a Fortizar timer in one of Delve’s most contested systems quickly spiraled into a full-scale, four-sided war. Fleets from across New Eden clashed in a maelstrom of destruction—billions of ISK burned in the void as the grid descended into chaos.

But the battle didn’t end there.

The conflict spilled into nearby space, dragging everything in its path down with it. A Skyhook, hastily anchored amid the confusion, was destroyed before it could stabilize. And deeper still, an unaware Rorqual was caught in the storm - its engines flared, its distress signals unanswered.
It was tackled. And torn apart.

This video captures the scale of the chaos, the fallout, and the wreckage left in its wake.

Noriyaki (Imperial Shipment) lost their Rorqual in N-8YET (Delve). Final Blow by Enyap Xam (UK Corp) flying in a Raven. Total Value: 10,965,074,760.12 ISK

I managed to capture most of the battle—though unfortunately, I missed the exact moment the Rorqual was destroyed in the chaos.
I know this is typically meant for a single killmail, but I’m submitting a full battle report in hopes it still fits the spirit of "Killmail of the Week."
Either way, I hope you enjoy the video!

So the war gets announced—Goons sound the horn, alliances start scrambling, and suddenly there’s talk of highsec groups throwing punches.

I'm there thinking: “Cool. Probably doesn’t concern me.”

Three days later, I get a ping. No info. No context. Just: “Fleet up.”

No idea where we’re going. No idea what’s happening. I just undock and follow the fleet like a lost tourist with a camera.

Suddenly I’m in highsec. At a Fortizar - in Katteguad, 0.7 hisec.

Watching a structure melt under the weight of pure spite, bombs and lasers.

Apparently we’re deleting the people who declared war on us? Neat. Didn’t read the memo. For some reason they started a war with nullsec alliances.

Do I know why they started this? Nope. Do I understand the politics? Absolutely not. Am I qualified to be here? Not even remotely.

But I brought my camera. And nothing says “peace talks failed” like slow-motion explosions and cinematic angles. Enjoy the chaos. Turns out it was a fully fitted fort and became one of the top structures in the week to be destroyed. 30 Billion destroyed.

I don't know if this qualifies considering its not a single killmail and I didn't do the final blow, but either way - enjoy the fireworks of explosions!
