Snuffed Out vs Black Legion. in Abune

March 30, 2015

On the evening of the 28th March 2015 Black Legion. [MEN.] were in the middle of a move op with their capital fleet, moving them from the north of New Eden where they had been parked in recent months, down to the south of New Eden where they hopefully will see some action.

The Black Legion. forces became aware that their movements were being watched and that members of the Low-Sec entity Snuffed Out [B B C] were looking to get the drop on them and maybe score a valuable kill.

We managed to speak to Raknor Bile, the main EU fleet commander for Black Legion. and member of Higher Than Everest [P3AK];raknor

Ok, so we had a move op planned to move our supers from the north down south where we can use them, on the way down we get intel that snuff is hunting us this doesn’t really bother us because we had a good support fleet and more supers than they could reasonably escalate.

So we carry on moving until they undock hics and warp them to a titan, at this point our supers that were just free burning to our destination were a little strung out so we tell everyone to stop warping around.

A few seconds later they undock dreads a cyno goes up on our out gate and in come the HICs they manage to tackle an Avatar, who makes a cyno and we jump all our supers on to the dreads. We save the Avatar at 21% armor with smart use of titan bonuses unfortunately they switch targets to the Avatar pilots Nyx while he is paying attention to his titan and manage to kill it while nobody notices 🙁

It was a great fight and we managed to loot the field zkill said 42 bil in loot dropped and we scooped most of it so was a great way to break up the boredom of a super move op!

Shame about the extra fatigue though…

As you can see once the Black Legion. forces arrived to save their stricken Avatar pilot it was only going to go one way.

While the Snuffed Out fleet made a great effort to catch a travel fit straggler, they were not prepared to fight the large super-capital force of Black Legion. and because the titan pilot had his cyno ready and force nearby to jump to it, Snuffed ended up losing 20 Dreadnoughts and a hand full of Heavy Interdiction Cruisers for a total of 84 billion ISK to the Black Legion. fleet while taking down a Nyx, 2 Strategic Cruisers and a Logistics Cruiser worth around 27 billion ISK.
