Everyshore Intelligence Network

MONTHLY INTELLIGENCE REPORT: Gerper (September/October 2025)

Overview

Gerper, a Low-Security system in Everyshore, endured a month of heavily escalated hostile activity, initially marked by massive capital-backed ambushes and later settling into a pattern of highly proficient small-gang predation focusing on Electronic Warfare (E-War) and stealth. The system fluctuated severely, demanding extreme caution for solo or lightly escorted operations.

Threat Metrics

Metric Value System Name Gerper Month September / October 2025 Average Threat Level 3.79 / 5.0 (High)

Noteworthy Killers / Victims

Top Killers (By Observed Activity/Threat Score):

1. Michel Ferran (Proteus - Primary DPS)
2. Boruet Annages (Sentinel - Primary E-War)
3. Ukan Kado (Redeemer - Capital Alpha)
4. So much for Caesar (Moros - Capital Alpha)
5. Ronen Uitra (Astero - Stealth Ambush)
6. Jay Monkey (Manticore - Stealth Bomber)
7. Izzy Crane (Moros Navy Issue - Solo Capital)
8. signifiedzero (Zirnitra - Capital Alpha)

Top Victims (By Ship Class Targeted):

1. Ventures (Industrial Miner)
2. Tengu (Strategic Cruiser)
3. Retriever (Industrial Miner)

Noteworthy Groups Working Together

A highly effective small-gang composition was observed working in sustained coordination:

• Michel Ferran (Proteus - DPS)
• Boruet Annages (Sentinel - E-War/Tackle)
• Tefkros (Curse - E-War/Neuts)
• Ronen Uitra (Astero - Scout/Ambush)

This group utilized E-War synergy (dampening, neutralization) to lock down and quickly destroy higher-value targets like T3 Cruisers and Battlecruisers.

Summary of the Month

The late September advisory marked an EXTREMELY HIGH THREAT environment (4.7-5.0) driven by a coordinated Capital Task Force. This force included multiple Dreadnoughts (Moros, Revelation NI, Zirnitra) and Carriers (Nidhoggur), concentrated primarily during the early UTC morning on weekends (02:00–04:00 UTC). This period saw large-scale engagements and a guarantee of death for unescorted pilots.

Following this initial capital surge in early October, the threat profile shifted dramatically. The large capital fleets faded, replaced by persistent organized small-gang piracy. This new threat focused on Electronic Warfare (Sentinel, Curse) and stealth-enabled alpha damage (Manticore, Astero, Proteus). This activity concentrated heavily during the EU Prime Time (15:00–23:00 UTC), targeting industrial craft (Ventures, Retrievers, MTUs) and strategic cruisers (Tengu, Tholos) using focused E-War to nullify defenses. The high frequency of successful capsule kills throughout October underscored the efficiency and dedication of the aggressive actors.

Most Notable Groups in Conflict

The primary conflict observed was between organized predatory groups and unaffiliated solo industrial/combat pilots operating in the system. Given the nature of the advisories, specific alliance/corp affiliations for the hostile actors were generally unlisted; however, the observed coordinated Capital Task Force and the later E-War Small Gang operated as cohesive, high-commitment units.

Typical Ships Used in the System

Classification Killers (Observed & Named) Victims (Observed) Capital/Black Ops Moros, Moros Navy Issue, Nidhoggur, Sin, Widow (Implied High-Value Targets, e.g., Carriers/Faxes - Details not provided for victims in advisories) Battleship/Battlecruiser Zirnitra, Oracle, Barghest, Orthrus Talos, Vexor Navy Issue Cruisers/T3s Proteus, Loki, Curse Tengu, Tholos, Algos Frigate/Destroyers Redeemer (HAC), Astero, Manticore, Sentinel, Ishkur, Svipul Venture, Retriever, Buzzard, Caldari Navy Hookbill, Mobile Tractor Unit (MTU)

Trends

1. Shift in Scale: Transition from massive, capital-backed weekend fleets to smaller, persistent, E-War-focused weekday/weekend gangs.
2. Temporal Predictability: Strong clustering of activity around 02:00–04:00 UTC (Capital) and 15:00–23:00 UTC (Small Gang). EU Prime Time became the system's most consistently dangerous window.
3. Target Selection: Heavy focus on vulnerable industrial targets (Ventures, Retrievers) using stealth and E-War, alongside opportunistic high-value kills (Tengu, Tholos).
4. Escalation Tactics: Frequent use of dedicated E-War platforms (Sentinel, Curse) to ensure kills, and consistent follow-through on capsule elimination.

Notable Kills (Max 5)

1. High-Value T3 Loss: Targeting and destruction of a Tengu by the coordinated Proteus + Sentinel group (Michel Ferran, Boruet Annages) (Observed Oct 24).
2. Industrial Task Force Alpha: Destruction of a high-value ship (type unspecified in core data) by a 45-attacker fleet including Zirnitra and Revelation Navy Issue dreadnoughts (Observed Oct 5).
3. E-War Duo Dominance: Destruction of a Tholos (strategic hull) by the Michel Ferran (Proteus) and Boruet Annages (Sentinel) combination (Observed Oct 25).
4. Lone Capital Strike: Destruction of a target by a singular Moros Navy Issue (Izzy Crane), demonstrating high-skill solo application of capital assets against sub-caps (Observed Oct 4).
5. Stealth Bomber Predation: Destruction of a Venture industrial by Jay Monkey in a Manticore stealth bomber, illustrating the persistent threat to miners (Observed Oct 13/18).
