Overview of the Month
September 2025 in Everyshore was a period of sustained, high-intensity Low-Security conflict. While daily skirmishes dominated systems like Elarel, Mannar, and Alachene, often targeting vulnerable PVE traffic, the system of Gerper saw a major escalation on September 21st, involving fleet battles with confirmed Dreadnought and Force Auxiliary casualties. Across the region, attackers demonstrated coordinated small-gang tactics, specialization in specific ship types (T3 Cruisers, Faction Cruisers), and a consistent pattern of capsule denial (podding) to maximize victim losses.
Noteworthy Killers and Victims
Top 5 Noteworthy Killers
- Peter Powers (Tengu/Cenotaph/T3 Pilot): Noteworthy across multiple systems (Elarel, Adeel), specializing in high-impact sporadic strikes, including targeting high-value combat targets and focusing on asset denial (Mobile Depots) in Adeel.
- Alexis glavor (Vigilant/Machariel): A highly persistent threat, central to coordinated gangs in Groothese, Mannar, and Mormelot, known for applying heavy damage and providing warp disruption.
- Cailin Dioltas (Loki/T3 Pilot): The most persistent solo predator in Elarel and active in Groothese, focusing heavily on Ventures and industrial ships.
- Aladar Krahn (Garmur/Tholos): A prolific solo/duo hunter specializing in agile frigate kills and notorious across Mannar and Groothese for securing large numbers of capsule kills.
- Hunter Dredd (Loki/Orthrus): The dominant long-term anti-industrial predator in Alachene, highly active during key UTC windows.
Top 3 Noteworthy Victims
- Ventures/Industrial Ships (e.g., Procurers, Iterons, Endurance): Overwhelmingly the most frequent and consistent class of victims across all systems, reflecting the region's focus on anti-economic predation.
- Capsules (Pods): Targeted and destroyed after the initial ship kill in nearly all noted hostile systems, confirming dedicated, ruthless hunting tactics.
- Capital Ships (Revelation, Moros, Apostle): Lost during the large-scale conflict in Gerper on September 21st, highlighting the severity of the fleet engagement.
Noteworthy Groups Working Together
- The Trinity (Alexis glavor, Sick Artley, Jason Ozran): A highly effective, dedicated three-man gang dominant in Grandeese and Mannar, utilizing balanced tactical compositions (Vigilant/Legion/Lachesis) for coordinated sweeps and ambushes.
- Amanda Morgan & Vicky Shadow: Operated as a highly efficient Loki duo in Elarel, skilled at ambushes and decisive subcapital engagements.
- Dragon QxReyho and Aoi Yume ("The Duo"): The core predatory element in Mya, combining Dragon's high-alpha Tornados with Aoi's Stealth Bombers for swift ganks against soft targets.
- Black Ops Strike Teams (Ena Yleto Yanumano & Co.): Observed coordinating Black Ops assets (Panther, Redeemer, Widow) with T3 Cruisers (Proteus, Tengu) in Groothese for high-impact covert-cyno strikes.
Notable Groups in Conflict with Each Other
The primary observed conflict was a large-scale, sustained engagement in Gerper, particularly centered on September 21st, featuring opposing capital and battleship formations:
- Machariel-Centric Fleets (e.g., Lancer Enkidu, FrozenHam Thiesant): Focused on heavy DPS and logistics support.
- Apocalypse/Leshak Fleets (e.g., Sir Bongwater Hackalung, Ninja Adult): Deploying high-alpha Triglavian and Amarr battleship and heavy capital support (Zirnitra, Dreadnoughts).
Other conflict was generally restricted to attackers vs. vulnerable industrial/solo ships, rather than sustained faction warfare.
Summary of the History of the Month Described
September began with high-risk skirmishing and industrial hunting by solo pilots and duos across Elarel, Alachene, and Mannar. The middle of the month saw increasing coordination, with organized T3 Cruiser gangs (Loki/Tengu) becoming the dominant force (Elarel, Groothese), solidifying predictable danger windows (late UTC afternoon/evening). The most violent event occurred on September 21st in Gerper, marking a regional peak in aggression with massed battleship and capital engagements. Following this peak, the threat remained high regionally, characterized by dedicated Black Ops activity (Groothese, Mya) and continued ruthless hunting of soft targets.
Typical Ships Used in the System
Classification Killers (Dominant Ships) Victims (Primary Targets) Strategic Cruisers Loki, Tengu, Proteus, Legion Cruisers (Ishtar, Stratios, Cynabal) Battleships/Factions Machariel, Barghest, Leshak, Tornado, Vindicator Tempest, Rokh, Gila, Industrial Haulers Alpha/Gank Tornado, Hecate, Nemesis (Stealth Bomber) Frigates, Destroyers, Cruisers Frigate/Fast Attack Garmur (Faction Frigate), Astero, Stiletto Ventures, Cormorants, Capsules Capital Nyx (Supercarrier, Mya), Moros (Dreadnought, Gerper) Revelation, Apostle (Force Auxiliaries, Gerper) Industrial N/A Venture, Retriever, Iteron Mk V, EnduranceTrends
- Industrial Predation: An overwhelming focus on mining and industrial ships across all systems, confirming anti-economic warfare as the primary goal.
- T3 Cruiser Dominance: Loki and Tengu platforms were fundamental in coordinated and solo hunting due to their versatility and cloaking ability.
- Capsule Denial: The pattern of immediately destroying capsules after the ship kill was consistent across nearly all systems (e.g., Aladar Krahn, Trevor Dalech), confirming a low tolerance for victim recovery.
- Capital Escalation Risk: While rare, the confirmed presence of Supercarriers (Nyx, Mya) and regular Dreadnought battles (Gerper) means pilots face the risk of overwhelming force projection.
Notable Kills/Battles (Max 5)
- The Gerper Capital Clash (Sept 21st): The peak event involving the documented loss of multiple Dreadnoughts (Revelation, Moros) and Force Auxiliaries in a massive fleet engagement between opposing battleship forces.
- Dreadnought/Marauder Ganks (Alachene/Mya): Eccho Ellecon (Kronos Marauder) and GodsSoldier Aideron (Cenotaph Dreadnought) deploying capital/high-end subcapital assets against minor targets, demonstrating severe force projection and overkill.
- Black Ops Ambush (Groothese): Ena Yleto Yanumano's Panther-led Black Ops force neutralizing a high-value hull (Loki/Tempest), highlighting the system's covert hotdrop risk.
- Tornado/Stealth Bomber Ganks (Mya): Repeated high-alpha kills by the Dragon QxReyho/Aoi Yume duo, setting the standard for fast, high-damage ambushes against vulnerable traffic.
- Peter Powers' Asset Denial (Adeel): Consistent kills of Mobile Depots and Mobile Micro Jump Units by Peter Powers (Tengu/T3 Pilot), establishing a pattern of focused harassment and infrastructure denial against pilots based in-system.
Summary of the State of the Region
The Everyshore region is currently under sustained, coordinated pressure. The risk profile is shifting from low-skill opportunistic kills to highly specialized small-gang operations capable of countering subcapital combat ships. The most significant threat remains organized economic warfare, evidenced by the relentless focus on industrial/mining ships and the practice of capsule podding. While most systems feature chronic Low-Sec endemic aggression, Gerper operates at a much higher, near-Null-Sec threat level due to persistent capital/fleet conflict. Pilots are strongly advised to assume the presence of cloaking vessels (T3 Cruisers, Stealth Bombers) and to deploy medical clones only in high-security systems.
