Gerper – 2025-10-03
Gerper — Immediate Threat Level 5.0 (Low-Sec): Avoid Transit
Summary
- Intelligence analysts have flagged a single, decisive kill in the low-sec system Gerper on 2025-09-28T02:26:10Z. The engagement involved a coordinated 16-ship hostile force; Threat Level: 5.0 — “Guaranteed Death.” Pilots should avoid Gerper unless operating in a similarly sized and equipped fleet.
What was observed
- Scale: 16 attackers in one engagement (highly coordinated).
- Final blow: Redeemer (pilot: Ukan Kado).
- Notable fleet composition:
- Capitals: 2x Nidhoggur (carriers), 1x Moros (dreadnought)
- Black Ops / covert capability: Sin, Widow
- Heavy DPS/logistics: 6x Redeemer (primary damage), 2x Oracle, 1x Zirnitra
- Additional support: Ikitursa, Osprey Navy Issue
- Indicators point to a professional force capable of sustained, rapid, and covert deployment (bridging, cyno support, fighter and capital logistics).
Operational assessment
- The combination of multiple Marauder-class Redeemers, capital support (Nidhoggurs, Moros), and Black Ops ships creates overwhelming alpha and sustained damage plus covert-ops flexibility. Any lone or small-group transit in Gerper faces extremely high likelihood of total loss.
Tactical guidance (rooted in observed data)
- Avoid Gerper unless in a fleet matched to capital + heavy DPS composition.
- Exercise extreme suspicion of cynos, Black Ops presence, and sudden fleet bridging; the fleet observed included Sin/Widow (covert bridge/ECM potential).
- If contacted or engaged in Gerper: prioritize immediate warp-out procedures; do not attempt prolonged engagement against unknown, numerically superior forces.
- Avoid warping directly to gates or cans when undocked; expect bait and rapid escalation given carrier and dreadnought presence.
- Consider routing around Gerper during hours corresponding to the incident (early UTC morning / late Americas evening) — the single data point suggests activity in that window.
Note
- This advisory is based on the single, significant kill event recorded in Gerper on 2025-09-28. The observed force composition justifies the declared Threat Level 5.0 for the system.
