dbo:abstract | - The Battle of Asakai was a massive-scale virtual battle fought in Eve Online, a space-based massively multiplayer online role-playing game (MMORPG), which took place January 26–27, 2013. It was at that time one of the largest battles experienced in the game, involving over 3,000 real-world player accounts. It was the first battle of its scale since the game publishers introduced a time dilation feature that slows combat involving large numbers of players. The virtual battle was fought primarily in Asakai and neighboring star systems. The conflict originated as a small-scale battle over a player-controlled space-station orbiting a moon of Asakai VI. When a fleet commander tried to send reinforcements, he accidentally warped his lone flagship onto the battlefield rather than a large fleet of smaller ships. The presence of such a large ship caused both sides to escalate the conflict, calling in additional reinforcements from their respective allies. The presence of large enemy fleets then shifted the tactical objective from territorial control to destruction of enemy materiel. Numerous player alliances participated in the battle, the primary combatants being the player alliance (CFC) against (HBC), Drunk 'n' Disorderly (DND), Lost Obsession, N3, and Black Legion. After hours of fighting, HBC and its allies defeated CFC and inflicted heavy losses to CFC's fleet. Casualties for the CFC and its allies included 3 Titan-class ships, 5 supercarriers, and 29 carriers; in comparison, HBC and its allies had lost 1 supercarrier and 11 carriers. The in-game estimated cost of the battle was 700–800 billion ISK, a theoretical value of approximately US$15,000–20,000. However, Liandri Covenant, an ally of CFC and who controlled Asakai VI, retained their hold on the system and made a significant profit collecting scrap from the battlefield. Exactly a year later, CFC exacted revenge on Pandemic Legion and N3 at the Bloodbath of B-R5RB. (en)
