Overview of the Month
October 2025 was marked by significant volatility and sustained high-risk activity across the Everyshore region. While several systems experienced relentless, coordinated predation on industrial and unescorted ships, the security situation drastically escalated in systems like Mya and Gerper, which became active Capital Warfare zones. The threat environment was characterized by sophisticated small-gang coordination, the use of high-alpha tactics, and a region-wide commitment to professional piracy and economic disruption.
Key Actors and Noteworthy Action
Most Noteworthy Killers (Maximum 5)
- Aladar Krahn (2119947844): The most widespread and consistent threat, operating agile and heavy hulls (Garmur, Tholos, Machariel, Tengu) across Elarel, Groothese, and Mannar, specializing in serial kills and industrial disruption.
- Dejan Estemaire (2113053476): A key figure in coordinated ganking across Elarel and Alachene, utilizing high-alpha ships (Abaddon, Tornado, Gnosis, Proteus) to eliminate high-EHP targets and consistently engaging in capsule hunting.
- Cailin Dioltas (2121195895): Dominant T3 Cruiser and stealth bomber specialist (Loki, Manticore) active in Elarel and coordinating the "Dioltas Collective" for rapid, surgical strikes.
- Peter Powers (179004085): Active in Elarel and Adeel, demonstrating versatility using T3 Cruisers (Tengu, Legion) and command destroyers (Magus/Nemesis) in small-gang and opportunistic hunting roles.
- Boruet Annages (2117508945): A highly skilled solo/small-gang hunter in Mya and Gerper, specializing in versatile EW, DPS, and tackle platforms (Sentinel, Ikitursa, Orthrus, Curse).
Most Noteworthy Victims (Maximum 3)
- Kortofan Madullier (2119947844): A highly repeat victim, primarily losing Venture-class mining frigates, symbolizing the vulnerability of solo industrial pilots across the region.
- Industrial Pilots (Iteron Mk V, Retriever, Venture): The highest volume victim profile across all systems, consistently targeted by high-alpha and coordinated groups.
- Capital Assets (Moros Navy Issue/Redeemer): Represented the highest strategic losses, particularly in Mya and Mannar, where Capital and Black Ops battleships were destroyed in large fleet actions.
Most Noteworthy Groups Working Together
- The Dioltas Collective / Aladar Krahn Association: Focused small-gang coordination, utilizing agile platforms (Garmur, Tholos) alongside T3 Cruisers (Loki, Tengu) for high-mobility ganking, active in Elarel, Groothese, and Mannar.
- Battleship / Cruiser Squad (Serqet Daphiti & Dejan Estemaire): Consistently partnered for high-alpha ganks using Abaddon and Gnosis hulls against industrial and heavier assets in Elarel and Alachene.
- The Capital Hotdrop Syndicate (Mya/Gerper): A fluid assembly of Dreadnought (Moros NI, Ilyesledz, Optimiser, Legionare Legion) and Supercarrier (Elon Kush - Nyx) pilots focused on eliminating rival capitals and Black Ops ships in large-scale engagements.
- E-War Small Gang (Michel Ferran & Boruet Annages/Tefkros): Highly effective unit using Electronic Warfare (Sentinel, Curse) and T3 DPS (Proteus) to neutralize and destroy higher-value sub-capitals in Mya and Gerper.
Summary of the Most Notable Groups in Conflict
The primary conflict in Everyshore remained the Persistent Predators vs. General Low-Sec Traffic. However, two specific high-level conflicts emerged:
- Capital Hotdrop Syndicate (Aggressors) vs. The Widow Fleet Coalition (Counter-Aggressors): This conflict defined the escalation in Mya. The Aggressors (Moros NI, Nyx) focused on eliminating high-value targets and Black Ops assets (Redeemer, Widow, Naglfar) deployed by the Counter-Aggressors/defenders in two major fleet battles.
- Organized Piracy Cells (Dredd & Estemaire, Dioltas Duos) vs. Industrial / Mining / Exploration Pilots: This was the dominant, relentless conflict across Elarel, Groothese, Alachene, and Adeel. The Aggressors systematically eliminated economic activity through coordinated ambushes, Alpha strikes, and targeted harassment.
Typical Ships Used in the System
Role Common Killer Ships Common Victim Ships Capital/Black Ops Moros NI, Nyx, Redeemer, Panther, Widow Revelation NI, Apostle, Moros NI (Aggressor Loss), Phoenix NI Strategic/T3 Loki, Tengu, Proteus Loki (highly contested), Tengu, Legion HAC / Battlecruiser Machariel, Ikitursa, Barghest, Gnosis, Orthrus, Svipul Dominix, Praxis, Brutix Navy Issue, Vexor N.I. Industrial/Frigate Garmur, Manticore, Sentinel, Hecate, Astero, Tholos Venture, Retriever, Iteron Mk V, Capsule, Astero, ImicusTrends
- Capsule Hunting Protocol: Pod killing became a standardized, high-risk tactic for maximum pilot loss, prominently used by actors like Dejan Estemaire, Serqet Daphiti, and Aladar Krahn.
- Capital Escalation: The sudden eruption of capital-class engagements in Mya and Gerper, followed by confirmed Black Ops strikes in Mannar, indicated a shift in strategic importance and risk profile for the entire region.
- Alpha/Stealth Dominance: Killers favored high-alpha platforms (Tornado, Abaddon, Barghest) or stealth-enabled hulls (Manticore, Loki, Astero/Sentinel gangs) to guarantee quick kills and minimize counter-engagement risk.
- Temporal Predictability: Peak danger hours were consistently observed during the EU/US Prime-Time overlap (17:00–22:00 UTC), with specific, early-morning UTC spikes (00:00–05:00 UTC) reserved for large-scale, coordinated fleet actions (Capital/Barghest).
Notable Kills/Battles (Maximum 5)
- Moros Navy Issue destroyed by MtnDew Baja Blast (Ragnarok) in Mannar (Oct 04): Highlights the unprecedented risk of Titan presence and capital interdiction in low-security space.
- Redeemer Black Ops Battleship destroyed by a Capital Hotdrop Syndicate in Mya (Oct 21): Key engagement in the escalating Mya capital conflict, showing Black Ops assets are high-priority targets.
- 4x Loki (T3C) destroyed by an Unattributed Barghest Swarm in Mannar (Oct 24): Demonstrates the extreme, coordinated threat posted by T2 Battlecruiser fleets against even high-value sub-capitals.
- Praxis destroyed by Vipy Styx (Ikitursa) and Cadhla Dioltas (Garmur) in Adeel (Oct 03): A high-efficiency, multi-role gang strike against a high-EHP target.
- Serqet Daphiti's Abaddon destroyed in a counter-engagement in Elarel (Oct 25): A rare successful defense against a persistent, high-alpha predator, demonstrating the possibility of organized resistance.
Summary of the State of the Region
The Everyshore Region is currently in a state of High and Strategically Volatile Risk. Economic activity faces lethal threats from multi-system predatory small-gangs who operate efficiently and ruthlessly with a 'kill the pod' mentality. Furthermore, the escalation of strategic and tactical fleet actions involving Capitals, Black Ops, and dedicated T2 Heavy Assault forces (Barghest, Orthrus) in Mya, Gerper, and Mannar signifies that the region is not merely a hunting ground but an active contention zone for high-stakes military and economic objectives. All travel and industrial activity must be considered a High Probability of Interdiction for the foreseeable future.
