Last month a five-day lowsec PvP killing spree took place from 26 to 31 March. During this period, alliances and independent corporations vied for the coveted title of Champions of Lowsec. Over those five days the indomitable capsuleers who inhabit lowsec space indulged in a brutal carnival of violence, and the results are in!

Before we go on, let’s briefly recap the rules:

The duration of the contest is from when Tranquility comes back online on Thursday 26 March until downtime on Tuesday 31 March.

The winner will be the alliance or independent corporation that accrues the highest ISK value of ship & pod kills during that period. Structure kills will not be counted.

The alliance or independent corporation of whoever receives the final blow on the killmail will be credited with the full value of the kill.

The ISK value credited will be equivalent to value of the hull and items destroyed on the killmail. Dropped items won't be counted.

Only kills made in low security space (0.1 to 0.4 systems) will count.

Only kills of other players will count. NPC, CCP, ISD or GM kills will not be counted.

All kills which adhere to these guidelines will count, regardless of the circumstances surrounding them.

When the dust had cleared, only one group could emerge as the true Champions of Lowsec and it was: Snuffed Out who destroyed 136 billion ISK in ships and pods! Congratulations for taking out the top spot and the glory that comes with it. As per the announcement dev blog, as the winning alliance they will be receiving:

Their flag displayed prominently at CCP’s new HQ for a month.

An in-game billboard advertisement celebrating their lowsec supremacy which will run for an entire month and be seen by every capsuleer in New Eden.

Medals from Mordu’s Legion awarded to every member of the alliance who showed up on a killmail in lowsec during the contest period.

We would also like to acknowledge some of the other fierce competitors who were in the hunt for the title. Following close on Snuffed Out’s heels was Pen Is Out who came in second with 116 billion destroyred, followed by Test Alliance Please Ignore in third place with 62 billion destroyed.

Now, let’s take a look at some of the statistics from the event - you sure got busy!

During the contest period, 38,719 ships were destroyed throughout all lowsec space.

The most dangerous system overall was Tama with 5,033 ships and pods destroyed.

The killingest ship was the Gnosis with 5,992 kills during the contest period.

The dyingest ship was, well, capsules, with 8,254 omelettes made. As for actual ships the most common victim was the Tristan with 1,240 destroyed.

The most expensive kill was an Avatar class Titan which Snuffed Out very fortuitously happened upon and destroyed!

The most dangerous pilot during the contest was Niara Amatin who bagged 105 eligible solo kills.

The pilot who bagged the most expensive solo kill overall was Captn Michonne who picked off a very shiny Gila.

Work is now proceeding on the fulfillment of the winners' rewards. The in-game items will be delivered soon™ however the flag display will have to wait until we’re able to return to work properly, since like many people, CCP is currently working from home amid COVID-19 precautions.

Here’s a prettier and more thorough round-up of the statistics from the event:

Congratulations once more to Snuffed Out! There can be no argument going forward as to who are the true Champions of Lowsec!

In closing, on behalf of Mordu’s Legion CEO Muriya Mordu, we would like to extend special acknowledgement to the following Snuffed Out capsuleers who distinguished themselves during Champions of Lowsec:
