Gerper – 2025-10-07
EIN-Advisory: Gerper — HIGH-RISK (Low‑Sec)
Situation
Gerper is currently assessed HIGH‑RISK (Real_Thread 4.5). Recent kills show coordinated capital and sub‑capital fleet operations with overwhelming logistics, interdiction and DPS. Low‑sec transit or operations in Gerper present a significant likelihood of encountering organized hostile forces capable of destroying solo or under‑supported ships.
Observed Patterns
- Peak activity in early UTC weekend hours — major incidents recorded ~02:50–03:35 UTC on Saturday/Sunday (2025‑10‑05).
- Weekday threat persists: episodic single‑capital actions and unrecorded victim events during mornings and afternoons.
Principal Threat Threads (summary)
- Redeemer Swarm (Real_Thread 4.8): Coordinated force of Redeemers, Widow bombers and Pilgrims. Fleet tackle + heavy logistics. (2025‑10‑05T02:50Z)
- Zirnitra & Barghest Blitz (Real_Thread 5.0): Multiple dreadnoughts (Zirnitra/Revelation NI), many Barghests, support Huginn/Loki/Scimitar/Onyx — full fleet-spectrum strike. (2025‑10‑05T03:32Z)
- Izzy Crane’s Moros NI (Real_Thread 3.5): Solo dreadnought engagements pose serious risk to subcapitals. (2025‑10‑04T08:20Z)
- Two victim events (Talos, Svipul) indicate non‑combat or rapid/undetected losses; treat as cautionary signals for unexpected hazards.
Immediate Advisories (rooted in observed data)
- Avoid Gerper if possible—do not transit during peak weekend UTC hours (approx. 02:00–04:00 UTC).
- Never travel alone in high‑value or capital ships; do not attempt solo capital transits.
- Use scouting alts and public killboards to assess recent local activity before entering system.
- Fit defensive modules (warp core stabs, cloak where applicable), but expect dedicated interdictors (Pilgrim/Onyx) to negate escapes.
- Capitals must travel with full fleet support and logistics; unsupplied capitals are highly vulnerable.
- Assume engagements may be preplanned and capital‑augmented; prioritize escape routes and deny prolonged engagements.
EIN assessment: Gerper is an organized, high‑capability threat pocket in Everyshore. Exercise extreme caution and plan around the weekend early‑UTC spike.
