Gerper – 2025-09-25
Timeframe assessed: 2025-09-19 17:49 — 2025-09-21 03:47 UTC
System type: Low-Sec (high probability of gate-camps, bubbles, pod-loss)
Summary:
Analyst killmail data shows Gerper is experiencing sustained, large-scale fleet combat with capital involvement. Multiple dreadnoughts, carriers, force auxiliaries, and 20+ sub-capital fleets have been engaged. Expect persistent hostile presence and active interdiction tactics—this is not safe for solo or small-gang operations.
Threat Level: Extremely High — Active Combat Zone (Large-Scale Engagement)
Key observations (from analyst data)
- Peak activity: strong surge on 2025-09-21 between ~02:00–04:00 UTC. Avoid this window if possible.
- Capital & logistics present: Revelation, Moros, Phoenix Navy Issue, Apostle, Ninazu losses indicate capitals and force auxiliaries are committing/being hunted.
- Heavy sub-capitals: frequent Machariel, Apocalypse, Vindicator, Leshak, Tempest Fleet Issue, Zirnitra, Devoter, Bhaalgorn-type compositions.
- Fast tackle/interdictors: Retribution, Malediction, Sabre, Flycatcher appear frequently — expect bubbles and tackle packages.
- Dedicated EW and logistics: Falcons, Bifrosts, Nestors, Sentinels reported — engagements will include support and counter-support.
Immediate advice
- Avoid transiting Gerper unless in a prepared, coordinated fleet with clear intel and counter-capital capability.
- Do not solo or operate small gangs inside the system. You will likely be outnumbered or caught by tackle/bubbles.
- Avoid the UTC night/early-morning window (approx. 02:00–04:00 UTC) — highest concentration of fleet actions.
- If caught in-system: align to a safe, bookmark and warp; expect gates to be bubbled. Use MWD/AB tricks only if you understand local gatecamp tactics.
- Capitals present = extreme risk to capital ops and support; do not undock capitals or expose force auxiliaries without fleet-level protection and cyno control.
- Industrial/PVE assets (mobile depots, MTUs) are being targeted—pause vulnerable ops and recover deployables where possible.
Transit checklist (if travel unavoidable)
- Use covert/fast-logi fitted frigate/scout with align < 2s where possible.
- Plan alternate routes; consider bypassing Gerper entirely.
- Travel with a sizable, organized escort rather than relying on ISK-in-person safety.
Asset safety
- Consider moving high-value assets out of the system or to a well-defended null/low-sec hub.
- Park capitals and support ships in a known safe or dock until the situation stabilizes.
Outlook
Current patterns suggest coordinated, multi-fleet objectives (structure assaults or territorial clashes). Expect continued high-risk operations until one side disengages or objectives are met. Reassess before committing forces.
Everyshore Intel Network will continue to monitor analyst reports. Operate with extreme caution.
