PILGRIMS Nyx destroyed by None 2 Hours after it was Purchased

August 23, 2014

On 8/20/2014 at 20:39:00 Eve time a Nyx flown by Rajon Kelper of PILGRIMS was destroyed by a group of the None Alliance, Legion of xXDEATHXx, and Wormhole Holders. 2 hours before the Nyx was destroyed, Rajon Kepler bought the Nyx on the WTS Forums – WTS Thread. This is the second time that Rajon has had his Nyx destroyed just momentarily after buying it.

Here is the mail I received from Burtag Somalych, one of the participants in the kill and part of the 9POTA Community.

Nyx Kill on the 20th of this Month

Hello. I’m part of 9POTA comunity. We are lowsec small scale pvp oriented group of pilots from Russian Federation (I hope IRL pollitical situation is not a problem, and my grammar too).

That was allready a late night when one of our pilots ( Arc Aihaken ) scouted a cyno lightened in our home system. Second after, Nyx appears. After cyno hump Nyx pilot started alighning to planet 5, and warped away.
From that moment I started recording this video. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gLUm1HgIOsk
Our FC Alis’c Zal warped the same way on Ishtar, and in some time Nyx landed there at 100. Alisc locked him and started bumping him. Comms exploded with shoutings of pilots that was aware of Nyx so pilots who was semi-afk got back to Eve. Ivy Kuznetsova undocked heavy interdictor, warped on Alisc and pointed Nyx. Few second later Nyx dropped its fighters and started attacking HD. I was hoping to DPS on that nyx but after hearing requests of logistic ships in comms I decided to use my only logi in hangar – Osprey.
We also asked DPSS comunity if they wish to join us in killing that Nyx and their FC black bboy appeared in local few minutes later on ships you can see in KM.
Our Baal pilot started neuting Nyx and Ospreys started shield-repping it. We brought Vindicator and Moros on field to kill it faster.
That was our first kill of super cap in-game, we totally didn’t new what to do and how. U can actually hear how we was impressed in comms. We made a few misstakes. And if Nyx was not travel-fitted and got cap support, we most likely died in that fight.

After KM posted on zkillboard stranger linked us a forum post about selling nyx and that pilot willing to buy it 2 hours before Nyx kill. https://forums.eveonline.com/default.aspx?g=posts&t=366495&find=unread
Few hrs after I posted this video another stranger posted some interresting intel about Nyx pilot and this link
https://zkillboard.com/kill/35721303/ Intel was: Nyx pilot harrasing other ppl, frightening them and thats allready a second Nyx hi’s loosing right after buing it. Karma strikes twice.
