S-6HHN system, Delve region. On the 22nd of July at 18:05 EVE Standard Time forces belonging to Pandemic Legion [-10.0] and Confederation of xXPIZZAXx [PIZZA] trapped and destroyed a Revenant Super Carrier belonging to Double G of the Original Masters [CO5] corporation.
The Revenant was spotted by [-10.0] forces a day before in the system, but attempts to locate it came short and it managed to safely log off. However using the extensive knowledge that Pandemic Legion possesses, [-10.0] pilots were able to deduce the identity of the Revenant pilot and the probable location of his ship in the system. Working with [PIZZA], they were able to probe the Revenant down when it logged early in the morning of the 22nd.
To their surprise, the Revenant was not logged off in a tower but in a safe spot in space. The [PIZZA] probers were able to get the exact location and land on the Revenant in its hiding spot as it logged off, but with no ability to aggress or deploy interdiction probes they couldn’t hold it. Thus, Interdictors were brought into the system and logged off on the same spot, awaiting the Revenant’s return.
Fast forward to later in the day, and [-10.0] forces assembled a large Black Ops Battleship fleet, estimated at 70 pilots, to hunt a different Super Carrier when the Revenant logged back in. Interdictors quickly logged in as well and the Super Carrier was tackled as soon as it exited warp, a thick blanket of interdiction probes preventing it from warping or jumping out of the system.

The Revenant pilot, realizing his fate quickly logged off the ship, hoping for the log off mechanics to save him. This time though, the Interdictors were able to aggress the ship, making sure it could not disappear. With the ship aggressed, a cynosural beacon was lit on top of it and in came the [-10.0] fleet. After a few minutes of waiting for stragglers the behemoth was quickly dispatched by the barrages of the Battleships, yielding without a shot fired in its defense, thus taking so little damage to be destroyed.

Once the Revenant was obliterated, the wreck was looted and [-10.0] forces retreated back to their staging in Delve without incident.
This marks the 6th Revenant to be killed to date in New Eden, and the 4th this year alone.

Special mention should be made of Stephan Schneider of Love Squad, Confederation of xXPIZZAXx for helping to orchestrate the kill.
Update: The owner of the Revenant, crice, had the following to say on the incident:
Typical story. double g was holding that rev I bought from Darkness. months ago. I have logged on 2 times in 4-5 months. I found out about the kill of my revenant from a link in the IWI public chat. I thought I was being trolled at first. No idea what happened.
