Gerper

Gerper – 2025-09-24

EIN-Advisory: Gerper — High-Risk Early-UTC Fleet Operations (Sept 17–21, 2025)

Situation Overview
Analyst killboard data for Gerper (low-sec) shows persistent hostile activity with a major concentrated fleet engagement on 2025-09-21. The spike between ~02:30–03:50 UTC produced numerous capital and sub-capital kills; other days show sporadic kills across varied UTC windows.

Observed Patterns

  • General: Continuous low-volume threats across the reporting period with one clear large-scale operation on Sept 21.
  • Time windows of note: sporadic midday, afternoon and early-morning UTC activity; critical concentrated activity 02:30–03:50 UTC on 2025-09-21.
  • Ship mix during the peak: battleships (Vindicator, Apocalypse, Machariel), heavy assault cruiser (Leshak), and smaller tackle/assault ships (Retribution, Jaguar). Capitals also recorded.

Top Threat Profiles (from kill data)

  1. Tony Pellion — Leshak primary; also Nestor/Jaguar. High activity and final blows during main engagement.
  2. Caesar Manson — Vindicator. Highest final-blow count in the spike. Heavy DPS/battleline profile.
  3. Sir Bongwater Hackalung — Apocalypse. Consistent battleship presence.
  4. TigreTek — Apocalypse. Fleet battleship contributor.
  5. FrozenHam Thiesant — Machariel. Versatile heavy damage.
  6. Richard Lvyc — Machariel. Active participant in the peak fight.

Risk Assessment

  • Peak window (02:30–03:50 UTC): Severe — organized fleet operations, battleship and capital presence; avoid solo or lightly-escorted transit.
  • Non-peak: Elevated — low-sec with opportunistic small gangs; miners and haulers remain at risk.

Tactical Recommendations

  • Avoid Gerper entirely during 02:30–03:50 UTC UTC. If transit is unavoidable, schedule outside the peak and use fast/stealth fittings.
  • Escorts: Bring battleship or cruiser-level escorts for convoys; expect heavy DPS and tackle.
  • Cloak & scouts: Use cloaks, covert ops probes, and pre-warp scouts to detect bubbles and fleets before committing.
  • Miners/haulers: Use alternate routes or contract hauls with dedicated escorts; limit high-value cargo presence in cargo holds during transit.
  • Solo PvP/small gangs: Expect prepared, multi-battleline opposition; small gangs should avoid caught fights and shape engagements carefully.
