Iges system, Placid region. On the 5th of November at 10:11 EVE Standard Time, a Ragnarok titan belonging to Shadow Cartel [SHWDC] was destroyed by forces belonging to Snuffed Out [B B C].
The incident in question started when Snuffed Out forces attempted to bait Shadow Cartel into action, setting up a trap using a Nyx supercarrier. The supercarrier in question was told to reinforce planetary customs offices (Pocos) in the system, where known Shadow Cartel scouts were present. Snuffed Out fleet commanders hoped to entice Shadow Cartel this way into forming and dropping a sizable capital force on the Nyx which they would then counter drop with their own supercarreirs and titans which waited on log-in screens.
As the Snuffed Out pilots had hoped, the plan worked and the Nyx was quickly tackled, a cynosural beacon lit ushering in several dreadnoughts. Snuffed Out forces however kept waiting for more Shadow Cartel capitals to jump through when their pilot reported that a Ragnarok jumped in and had just activated its doomsday device.
Immediately, Snuffed Out pilots were told to log in, with preference to Ghost Riders (Carriers housing heavy interdictors who jump into the action where the pilots then eject and board the heavy interdictors from their carriers to tackle super capitals) while a cynosural beacon was lit on grid to allow reinforcement in. Quickly, Snuffed Out supercarriers and titans jumped in, accompanied by the carriers. In no time the Ragnarok was tackled and the Snuffed Out titans started clearing the field of dreadnoughts before turning on the titan itself.
With no escorts or defense, the titan attempted to refit for a better tank to hold out but had little time before the combined Snuffed Out force damage output simply overwhelmed it.

Once the field was secured and the titan’s wreck looted, Snuffed Out forces extracted safely, concluding a successful fishing expedition.
