This is not just a Thanatos kill - this is a Cenotaph and a Thanatos kill in an all out brawl on a station behind enemy lines and we destroyed 14bn! :D
Here is the Thanatos Thanatos | Elcryss | Killmail | zKillboard
Here is the Cenotaph Cenotaph | Frippyy | Killmail | zKillboard
Roaming through Querious we encountered a Thanatos that had fighters on a gate, and was not tethered on the in gate structure. Our combat prober quickly got hit probed and tackled on the Astrahus, and called the fleet in. We were around 5 hops away so best speeded to the engagement, and engaged. During our furious run to the staging system, a Cenotaph undocked and started aggressing our tackle. When we landed the Cenotaph was called as the primary, and we began engaging.
What happened now was a touch amazing - they undocked around a half dozen Osprey Navy Issues (RL OsNIs are a perfect counter to our inty fleet - we were 30 odd in fleet) and so with coordination should have made mincemeat of us - they didn't. We managed to kill x5 OsNIs, and then x2 Praxis, a Retribution, a Hound and then eventually we were back onto the Cenotaph. Once that Died (4+BN) we then shifted over to a Sacrilege, and they just kept on undocking stuff - all this time we still had tackle on the Thanny. A bifrost, a Gnosis, another x4 OsNIs, a vexor, a Domi, a Caracal, a Flycatcher, another OsNI, a Vigil, and eventually the Thanatos! 6.16bn :)
What an absolute amazing fight - nearly 35 minutes! :D
Here is the video...
I have included a bonus Thanatos kill too from last night too - yes we killed two ! :D

Nice little corp op that took - oooh - 4 months planning maybe? (mainly trying to get everyone online at the same time)
Anyhow - the story.
During the course of the newbro roams that we run, we often ran into this guy who had a pipe all but hell cmaped - eyes up and eyse down - he was very very risk averse, and very astute as to his surroundings only engaging stuff that he could kill, gank, with very little risk.
That said, we also had noticed that he often brought in a carrier to aggress lone targets - really small things, like battleships (which he could easily dispatch in the ships that his many alts were in).
Anyhow, that said - after some awesome deep space recon and intel gathering, we hatched a workable plan.
Bring lone battleship into sendaya, and into doril, avoid utopia and head to hemin - where he will have already seen us on scan as we entered doril, and will be setting up on the out gate.
The plan worked a treat and exactly as we expected.
We landed in a bubble in our max tank domi, lit the cyno, and brought in our bomber fleet and destroyed the Thanny!
Excellent fun with mates!
