Here is an update regarding events which occurred during a large fleet engagement in 6NJ8-V which took place on June 16th.
Some ships were destroyed during the engagement, yet they also managed to jump to safety. This resulted in the ships reappearing in-game some time after they were destroyed. Our server-side logs represent both of the aforementioned circumstances and the final outcome was that the ships remained in game with the modules which were destroyed along with them despite kill reports being sent out showing their destruction. Modules moved to wrecks upon the ships' destruction were not duplicated, and the owners of the ships received insurance payouts for the losses. No game masters or CCP staff for that matter were involved with the revival of the ships in any way.
The underlying issue has been examined and improvements implemented that should prevent similar situations in the future.
Regarding fleet-battle reimbursement and GM intervention in them in general, we have been down that road before and it's not the way to go. This has been discussed in much detail and the consensus is that it is best to simply stay well clear of messing with fleet-battles; this fleet engagement is no exception and we will remain consistent in this stance. We will not be passing judgment on what should have happened during this battle nor alter the outcome in any way.
Eat it Southern Coalition, eat it!!! 
Next time you come to mess with the best there is, has been and ever will be, you better rethink your strategy. :smug:
Bottom line is the right thing has been done. I am also recommending those loss mails be removed from all kill boards now that the ships are officially blessed as being legit. So basically, the loss mails SC wave around are essentially, fake and irrelevant. Any kill board that claims to be legit should remove those kill mails now.
For the rest of you empire dwellers, when your ready to be with the winners, check into the Northern Coalition. As you can see, we are invincible and destined to dominate this game now forever.
