After the eviction of the DRF from the Drone Regions by the wormholers that had basically waged a year long campaign against them, the DRF were moving south to come crash on Legacys couch.
This went … poorly.
The DRF supercapital fleet were caught moving while in Wicked Creek and got dreadbombed by FRT. This quickly lead to a escalation as TRI had advance notice of the move op via their spies in DRF strategic command and so were prepared for the fight.
The DRF supercapital fleet were not fitted or prepared for a fight and once the attacking forces escalated to their own supercapital fleet which were, things spiralled quickly out of control.
Legacy rageformed their fleets to come support and engaged the enemy with subcaps and capitals. The rageformed Legacy supercapital fleet however were too small at that point to tip the scales and would instead have been jumping into heavy tidi on a grid controlled by a superior hostile supercapital fleet. Instead Legacy opted on dropping in a dreadbomb to present a more urgent threat for the enemy supercaps to clear and give the besieged DRF fleet time to extract and get out.
The only enemy Titan to die that day, a FRT Erebus, died to the dreadbomb but it was quickly cleared and the DRF started bleeding supercapitals again.
At the end of the day, the butchers bill ended on 2917.28 billion ISK lost by DRF/TEST, 570.6 billion ISK lost by TRI and their allies, 22.07 billion ISK lost by the Imperium and 53.32 billion ISK lost by NC/PL and allies.
