EVE Online erupted in its latest trillion-ISK battle after Minmatar Fleet Alliance and Snuffed Out collided over a Fortizar hull timer in the low-sec system of Old Man Star early on 25 August 2025. CCP Games confirmed via Twitter that the escalating slugfest vaporized more than one trillion ISK in combined assets, according to the official EveTools battle report. Final tallies currently list over 500 B ISK destroyed on the Minmatar Fleet side versus roughly 450 B ISK lost by Snuffed Out and allies, suggesting Snuffed Out retained the tactical edge in addition to securing the structure timer.
Fleet compositions ranged from Marauders and heavy tackle on the attacker side to massed dreadnought drops that turned the grid into a fireworks show visible from adjacent systems. A six-minute video skirmish log released by a Snuffed Out member gives a cockpit-level chronicle of the fight, overlaying friendly comms and on-screen kill counts as the Fortizar timer ticks down. Casualties included multiple Paladin-class and Golem-class battleships along with a sprinkling of Nyx supercarriers that cycled defensive fighters until ECM bursts silenced their control links.
The clash underscores the return of large-scale, player-driven conflict now that wars which cooled earlier this summer are re-igniting over key staging points. Market analysts expect anchored mineral and Tech II module prices to spike in Jita over the next week as replacement hulls are rushed to low-sec hubs. Capuleers considering deployment are advised to stock up before the next evTimer pushes additional keepstars into reinforced mode across the warzone.
