SISTERS of Eve are estimating more than 100,000 people are missing, feared dead, following a massive battle yesterday between rival capsuleer forces in Delve.

The fight in ZXB-VC is the latest in a series and is understood to have involved more than 2,000 capusleer piloted ships with total loss of life feared to be rivaling that of Asakai two years ago.

Dozens of dreadnaught class ships, manned by thousands of crew members, are understood to have been destroyed in the battle – the capsuleer captains are understood to have successfully migrated to new clones with no ill effects.

Reports from the residents of ZXB-VC’s Station claimed to have seen several of Titans and Super Carriers just before the station was overthrown and control shifted between alliances.

A Sisters of Eve emergency response fleet are currently en-route to the system of ZXB-VC to search for survivors, but fear due to the remoteness of the region they may be too late.

A spokesman from CONCORD said: “We are aware of the on-going situation in the Delve region.

“We currently have the system listed as under the control of the Fatal Ascension alliance, part of the CFC.”

Yesterday’s clash is the latest in a series to blight the region during the past four weeks – it is understood that the current holders of the region have issued evacuation orders to their capsuleers – the current status of the civilians based in the region is unknown.
