Gerper – 2025-09-27
EIN-Advisory: Gerper — High-Risk Low‑Sec Alert (02:00–04:00 UTC Peak)
Summary
- Analyst data: Gerper experienced a concentrated, coordinated escalation in the early hours of 21 Sep (peak 02:00–04:00 UTC). Multiple organized fleets with capitals, dreadnoughts and heavy battleship wings were active. Solo pilots and small gangs face near-certain loss during the peak window.
Immediate threat picture
- Peak window: 02:00–04:00 UTC — treat as Thread Level 5.0 (guaranteed death if not in comparable fleet).
- Capital presence: Zirnitra capitals and dreadnoughts observed; cyno/capital activity confirmed. Moving capitals through Gerper is extremely hazardous.
- Heavy battleship wings: Machariel, Apocalypse, Vindicator, Leshak, Naglfar, Revelation and others operated in force — sustained heavy alpha and brawl potential.
- Interdictors/recon: Sabre, Devoter, Rapier, Pilgrim, Falcon — active for tackle and counter-escape measures.
- Notable concentrated groups (active ~02:30–03:10 UTC): "FrozenLamb" Zirnitra fleet, "Ninja Adult" Zirnitra/Leshak fleet, Lancer Enkidu Machariel fleet, Sir Bongwater Apocalypse fleet, plus mixed support forces (Vehement RB).
Operational guidance (Low‑Sec emphasis)
- Avoid Gerper during 02:00–04:00 UTC. Transit outside this window where feasible.
- Do not move capitals, supercarriers or dreadnoughts through Gerper unless escorted by a similarly sized capital fleet with confirmed local support.
- Solo and small-gang pilots: avoid exposing high-value hulls (caps, supercaps, HACs, battleships). Even strong subcaps are vulnerable to concentrated fleet action.
- If you must operate: use conservative routing, align-to safes, stagger timers, and assume enemy use of tackle + heavy alpha. Expect rapid escalation and limited escape windows.
- Cloaky scouts/fast tackle: exercise extreme caution — intercept points and warp-ins are highly contested.
- Logistics and extraction: plan for heavy local denial (interdictors and force auxiliaries observed).
Bottom line
Gerper is currently volatile and hostile. Treat the early‑morning UTC window as a near-certain trap for unprepared pilots. Only commit force comparable to the identified fleets or avoid the system until activity subsides.
