Gerper – 2025-09-28
EIN-Advisory — Gerper System: Elevated Threat (3.5/5)
Date: 2025-09-28
Summary:
A single logged kill in Gerper indicates a highly organized, capital-capable force operating in the system. Composition and tactics observed make Gerper hazardous for independent pilots and small gangs — exercise extreme caution.
Key indicators (from observed event)
- Time: 02:26:10Z (Sunday) — correlates with USTZ late/prime hours; weekend activity likely preferred.
- Fleet composition: multiple Redeemers (Force Aux), a Moros dreadnought, a Nidhoggur, Triglavian Zirnitra/Ikitursa, Oracle, Osprey Navy Issue, plus Sin and Widow Black Ops.
- Threat implications: concentrated remote repair (multiple Force Aux), capital siege/dreadnought capability, heavy subcapital DPS and EWAR, and covert-bridge capability via Black Ops.
Threat assessment
- Capital/support core (Redeemers, Nidhoggur, Moros): extreme danger to subcapitals and capitals alike. Rated 5.0 for immediacy.
- Subcapital DPS & EWAR (Zirnitra, Ikitursa, Oracle, Osprey NI): enables rapid neutralization of harassers; rated 4.5.
- Black Ops presence (Sin, Widow): enables covert cynos and sudden ingress — traditional gate-camps and passive intel may be bypassed; rated 4.0.
Operational advice (rooted in observed data)
- Avoid Gerper unless mission-critical. The force demonstrated is capable of decisive capital engagements.
- Do not transit solo or in unprepared small gangs. Even a single capital or high-value subcap in local should be treated as a major warning.
- If transit is unavoidable: move in a well-organized fleet with capital/remote-repair counters and clear doctrine against dreadnought/capital threats.
- Scout aggressively before entry: check for cyno signatures, fleet compositions on D-Scan, and pre-positioned Black Ops indicators. Assume covert bridging is possible.
- High-value assets and industrial moves: reroute around Gerper until the threat dissipates or confirmed counters are present.
EIN will continue to track activity. Until further confirmed events, treat Gerper as a high-risk low-sec transit with capital-grade hostile presence.
