Stephan Schneider from [PIZZA], who provided the intial tackle on the super, provided me with the following information:
our heretic pilot hamo acami jumped into the system where we knew they had 2 supers grinding sbu’s, put out probes, warped ontop of htem and tackled them for 10 minutes alone until the big guys arrived, sadly tho the aeon managed to warp to a safe and we didn’t have probes ready(shit tz)
According to a brief run down of events [PIZZA] told [-10.0] about the situation so they took a wormhole from Curse to the region, allowing them to help with the kill. Unfortunately a small support alliance Something Fishy. [TROUT], apparently closed the wormhole with a gas mining dominix causing a long journey home for [-10.0].

04/06/15 – 1 Nyx destroyed. – 23.3B ISK
A Nyx piloted by Banitzu from Humming Birds [HUMM], Brothers of Tangra [B0T] was destroyed by Pandemic Legion [-10.0] and Enigma Project [EXIII] in the system of Y-XZA7, Malpais.

Jay Joringer from [EXIII] provided me with the following:
We had a direct connection to Y-XZA7. Our scouts started a skirmish with BoT on the Y-XZA7 side. BoT started to back up what they had with carriers, so 13. called in extra tackle and a Phoenix and we downed a couple of their Archons before they landed a couple of Nyx’s, Thanny’s and a Chimera on grid.
Since BoT seemed serious about the fight, we asked if anyone was in the area. Chesterfield Fancypantz initially offered us some frigates until he realised that they wouldn’t cut the mustard and shipped up. By then we’d lost the Phoenix and the sensible thing would have been to cut our losses, but with Chester’s boys on the way, our own guys were scrambling as much tackle as we could muster just to hold the BoT fleet there.
At first our backup seemed reluctant to get burning over to us until they had confirmed PL could support them and I’m not surprised. BoT were pretty effective at targetting our bubblers, and with a lot our of logistics pilots dual-boxing, it wasn’t easy to coordinate with the other guys.
The reinforcements arrived about 30 seconds too late though. The mainstay of the BoT carriers and one of the Nyx’s had got away from the remaining bubbles and warped off grid, leaving Banitzu’s Nyx with WormHole Occupation and Resource Exploitation, Pandemic Legion and the remainder of our guys.
At the time of writing no response has been received from the pilot.
07/06/15 – 3 Nyxs destroyed. – 76.6B ISK

3Better from #REKKINGRUSKI provided me with the following:
I saw a cyno in space in Onanam and no other chars in local. I presumed super(s) already logged out. Cyno went to Marmeha and we set up on the gate to the system and in Onanam. So while we were waiting the target to log in cyno in Marmeha was lit. I spent some on contemplating what to do with it and decided to check Marmeha. We’ve seen an Aeon and a Nyx but it was already too late and combats got no result.
I left my HIC at Marmeha gate in case the supers would log in right after dt. It went just as planned and these supers logged in as soon as I entered Marmeha. I scanned down both of them, but went after the Nyx and didnt bookmark the Aeon (they were on different spots). Tackled the Nyx, but he started applying dps on me, kasa shadowman also got there in an onyx and was helping with holding the tackle while other HICs were forming up on titan\burning by gates. I got in low armor and had to warp out: onyx was also having bad time with fighters, so we lost the tackle and the nyx warped away. We got his new spot and landed with reinforcements but he already warped again. On the third warp-attempt he decided to cloak there and got immediately tackled and dropped. As we were looting the wreck, the Aeon decloaked 70 km off the wreck and jumped out to Ahraghen. We’ve tryed to get him “again” but due to fuck up and right actions from his side he got away.
The pilot, Vilinyth, simply stated that; “after downtime I log in but I was not in travel fit, as it is a ratting Nyx, I land on safe and cloak up but I have a scanner on my ship and a HIC lands 2KM away from me. Nothing I could do about it at that point. I was moving due to changing to a different corp.”
A Nyx piloted by NikaLove from RED GUARD.inc [REDGU], SOLAR FLEET [SOLAR] was destroyed by Shadow of xXDEATHXx [X.W.X] in the system of QOK-SX, Outer Passage.

Attakare, from [X.W.X] provided me with the following video [shown below] and a simple statement that “[X.W.X] militia with Razor took on [SOLAR]s attack force and killed a Nyx in the process.”
[Note: The video does not show the actual Nyx kill]
xEvilHunteRx, the main character of the super pilot, provided the following information:
After login everything stopped, I had 4 clients open when I first got tackled away from all allied fleets. I was not able to equip a tank, it was my mistake. and I paid for it.
The fight was interesting and fun but I’m not sorry about the loss, although it could have been avoided. We were ambushed, one player in the corporation organized the ambush and the Nyx was needed to lure the enemy but did not have time to escape and was killed, the problem with the game client. Nothing more to say.
Update:
Dragonknight Aragorn from [X.W.X] provided me with the following statement:
“We managed this on our own, we got no help from xdeath. We talked to friends from Razor and Spears to help us to kill some Solar Supers. He was not alone away from the allied fleets, next to him was a Aeon but we couldn’t tackle her…”
He also provided a link to the following video:
A Nyx piloted by Mass Indigo from an NPC corporation was destroyed by #REKKINGRUSKI in the system of Onanam, Aridia.

Rad1st, part of #REKKINGRUSKI, mailed me the following report:
Short story – Dude jumped with my alt in local.
Long story – While watching TV I randomly click on map and seen cyno in system often used by supers to move through Aridia, so I request my friends to check it. Our scout says NC Nyx comes and landed at a POS. I wanted to follow him and start moving one of my HICs to the next possible waypoint. When I pass through Onanam I seen Inquisitor Vulcanus in local, but did not pay attention to him. Simultaneously I moved my neutral scout char to set eyes on NC super, and when I jumped Onanam there was a cyno at safe, I cloak and warped to it. There was a pilgrim burning his liquid ozone, 5 min pass but nothing come. I think he was scared by me or my Onyx. I pretend to be an explorer, launched core probes near station and start scanning system for anomalies. My HIC was on it’s way back to Onanam. Scouts says about second pilot in Nema from corp of cyno-pilgrim, and soon he come to Onanam too in crusader. He landed on gate in Sadana right after my “o’nyx!” cloaked. My fleet was about 20 ppls, so I pinged for all who can bring HICs and DPS. Scouts not found anything that can jump to Onanam and we’re just waiting. And soon cyno was lighten again, I saved bookmark and warped to it in cloak. But nothing happen. At the end of cyno cycle Nyx piloted by Mass Indigo jumped in. Pilgrim quickly moved and cloaked. Nyx stays without align. He want’s to cloak here, lol! And he did it. Railroad Cop and me jumped to Onanam and met at helios, we trying to decloak nyx, but failed. So we just light our cyno at hostile bookmark and all dreads and BLOPs jumped. Nyx was decloaked and tackled in a moment. And there we find he is full-tanked. Our Octopus friend Quindaster (he is really octopus! xD) bridged two more hictors, a lot of dreads and triage archon. Nyx pilot engage our HICs and archon was in the right place, we almost lost panther. After our cyno inhibitor was onlined Avatar comes and activate doomsday, it was a surprise for us too :). But Nyx didn’t pop after it. Dreads was on 2nd siege when Nyx blowed up. After action we found that Mass Indigo character was privately sold at official forum. I think he bought the Nyx in our area from one of the frightened boys who is too scared to move their supers themselves.
NC nyx… Fuck NC nyx, we forget about him, as they forget about Dre.
Thanks for reading this wall of text till end! #rekkingcruski
At the time of writing no response has been received from the pilot.
The first week in May resulted in 0.97 Trillion ISK destroyed, compared to this first week of June with a total of 123.4 Billion ISK destroyed. Showing a large decrease in ISK lost compared to every single week in May which had a low point of 493 Billion ISK in week 3. With 5 Nyx’s destroyed the tally for entities are currently equal with both #REKKINGRUSKI and [-10.0] securing spots on 2 kills each (even if they didn’t necessarily catch the vessel in the first place). However there has been a surprising lack of kills for the well known #REKKINGCREW who last caught a unsuspecting traveller in Derelik on May 21st, hopefully we will see more from them soon.
Next week we shall return with an update on the upcoming week’s Super Capital losses from across all regions of space.
