Another massive battle has taken place between the CFC and N3 coalitions in low-sec space on EVE, thanks to a trap set by the Black Legion alliance to bait the RAZOR alliance which ended up causing over 500 billion ISK or $10,000 worth of damage.

The trap was set in the system of Daras a low-security system, when the Black Legion used one of their own Super Carriers; one of the game’s most expensive and big ships; to trick the RAZOR alliance into thinking they had cornered the Black Legion’s ship. When the trap was sprung and the rest of the Black Legion ships closed in with allies from the N3 coalition RAZOR called for help from their own CFC alliance and the battle quickly escalated into a massive multi-ship battlefield. The ‘time dilation’ effect in the game quickly kicked in, slowing everything to 10% of normal speed and allowing for the battle to be planned out.

Notable among the losses were ten Super Carrier vessels on the side of the CFC, with the rest of that fleet managing to escape. The biggest loss was a Super Carrier worth 60 billion ISK from the Goonswarm group, the kill being bagged by N3. There is also a rumour going around that the Pandemic Legion were involved in the battle, agreeing to help the CFC but then turning on them when they arrived on the scene. Although PL have a reputation of being untrustworthy they have denied the accusation. The ultimate victors of the battle seemed to be the Black Legion and N3.

For scale it doesn’t compare to the infamous battle of B-R5RB where over ten trillion ISK or $300,000 was lost, but battles like these are more common in the spaces in-game where there is no security. This battle was in low-security space but also was large enough in scale to be notable.
