Killmail of the Week, Sep 22: show us your best EVE kill!

Goonswarm deploys a Keepstar and Pandemic Horde answers with an endless swarm of frigates and cruisers. Time Dilation crashes to 10% as the field turns into a brutal 5 hour battle.

Capitals and titans hang useless above the grid while Horde throws wave after wave into the fight, only bringing small ships that can fit any kind of weapon. For a time, Goons held the upper hand, losing 30B ISK against Horde’s 200B, slaughtering thousands of ships as they poured in.

But during the battle, the keepstar ticked down to its last breath - with horde reshiping and not giving up. Goons sound the retreat, removing capitals from the system - but panic strikes. A Hel jumps into Horde’s fleet, jumping to the wrong cyno or just feeling brave - and is doomsdayed on the spot - a mistake that shifts the battle.

When the dust settled, more than 7,000 ships lie in wreckage. 6,600 of them are Horde’s, and in the end, the Keepstar falls.

battle summary:

A small Goon fleet moved to engage a Rorqual - What began as a routine hunt escalated quickly when Pandemic Horde dropped dreadnoughts onto the grid to defend their ally.

But the system was under the influence of a storm. This environmental effect disrupted weapon tracking, crippled explosion radius, and broke application across the field. The capitals fired volley after volley, yet their shots went wide as Ruptures swarmed through bubbles, striking back like a nest of bees that had been disturbed.

The fight turned into a battle of endurance, but the storm dictated the outcome. With their weapons made ineffective, the dreadnoughts were overwhelmed and destroyed. Although the goons were wiped out, the capitals didn’t fall to enemy firepower alone - they fell to the system itself

Providence became the stage for a prolonged campaign of destruction.

Initiative swept into the region, striking relentlessly, flipping skyhooks, and forcing Absolute Order’s Keepstar into reinforcement.

The days that followed brought relentless fighting — carriers sacrificed, battleship lines broken, fleets scattered across the field. The armor timer ended in chaos as Initiative forced the Keepstar into its final stage with only seconds remaining.

The last timer drew the attention of all New Eden.

CCP promoted the event, The Scope hovered on scene, and streamers broadcast it live. Local surged past 3,700 as capitals cynoed in and fleets moved into place. Time dilation locked the system at 10%, dragging the battle into an endurance test that stretched for hours.

When it was over, the Keepstar fell.

Its destruction was long, drawn out frame by frame, but inevitable.

Across the days of fighting, including the final killmail, Providence suffered losses exceeding 778.9 billion ISK.

This is a cinematic video that showcases the gravesite of this battle that we've all heard about and many have been apart of, that now stands as a monument.

Brief summary:

On January 27th, 2014, the system of BR-5RB in the Immensea region became the site of the largest and most costly battle in EVE Online’s history (at the time).

A missed sovereignty bill pulled in over 50 alliances, leading to 12 hours of nonstop fighting. More than 7,500 pilots clashed, with thousands of ships destroyed - including 75 titans, the most ever lost in a single battle.

The destruction was valued at 11 trillion ISK at the time, roughly $300,000 USD. By today’s PLEX ratio, that loss would exceed 30 trillion ISK.

The wrecks still drift in BR-5RB, preserved as a permanent monument - a vast graveyard of titans and capitals, and a haunting reminder of the day New Eden burned.
