Gerper – 2025-10-04
EIN-Advisory: Gerper — Immediate Capital Threat (Elevated)
Threat Level: Elevated (3.5/5.0) — Local Warning: RED (Immediate & Severe)
Summary
- On 2025-09-28 02:26:10 UTC a coordinated capital-class strike occurred in low‑sec Gerper. Observed hostile order of battle included multiple dreadnoughts (Redeemer, Moros), force auxiliaries (Nidhoggur), a Zirnitra, a Widow and several heavy subcapitals. This force is capable of destroying high-value and capital targets and may still be operating in Gerper or adjacent systems.
- Time of incident suggests activity during late Western evening / early UTC morning (weekend prime).
Operational implications (low-sec)
- Gerper currently presents a high risk for capitals, freighters, Rorquals, and exposed industrials.
- This is not a small gang gank; it is a structured strike force with logistics and sustained engagement capability.
Tactical recommendations (rooted in observed threat)
- Avoid transiting Gerper with capitals, freighters, Rorquals, or high-value ships until threat subsides. Prefer alternate routes even if longer.
- Dock high-value ships and capital assets. Do not cyno-enabled jump into Gerper.
- Suspend industrial/mining operations and freighter runs through Gerper. If moving critical cargo, use covert/stealthed options or additional route planning.
- If you must operate in or near Gerper: travel in small, fast, aligned ships with cloak or instant-warp options; maintain scout coverage and clear d-scan before undocking; have a predefined warp-off plan.
- Assume enemy use of warp disruption, heavy alpha strikes, remote repair and EW—avoid long anchors and prolonged fights without logistics support.
- Exercise heightened caution during late Western evening / early UTC morning and weekend periods; consider avoiding those windows entirely.
Observed actors (from killmail): multiple named pilots in Redeemer, Moros, Nidhoggur, Zirnitra and Widow were involved. No reliable victim/affiliation data available from the provided report.
Intelligence gaps
- Victim identity, attacker affiliations, fitting details and frequency of operations remain unknown. This limits predictive certainty but does not reduce immediate tactical danger.
EIN maintains this advisory based on the 2025-09-28 engagement. Treat Gerper as high-risk until further confirmed reductions in capital activity.
