Gerper – 2025-10-08
Gerper — High-Capital Threat Surge; Avoid System 02:00–04:00 UTC
Summary
Intelligence indicates Gerper has become a high-risk low-sec node. Over the last three days the system has hosted coordinated capital and super-capital operations during late UTC night / early morning hours, with additional solo capital and opportunistic kills observed at other times. Pilots transiting Gerper in high-value or slow ships face a near-guaranteed risk of loss during peak activity.
What to know
- Peak threat window: 02:00–04:00 UTC (most severe events recorded 2025-10-05). Expect large, organized capital fleets with heavy sub-capital support.
- Secondary window: 20:00–21:00 UTC (noted opportunistic evening activity).
- Solo capital threat: Dreadnought (Moros Navy Issue) observed 08:20 UTC on 2025-10-04 — high lethality even when operating alone.
- Notable hostile profiles:
- "Redeemer Swarm" — Force Auxiliaries (Redeemer) with Black Ops (Widow), Pilgrim interdiction and covert scouts. 15+ attackers; overwhelming logistics and interdiction.
- "Zirnitra Titans" — Multiple Titans (Zirnitra) with dreadnought and Barghest FC structure; 30+ attackers; combined capital and sub-cap forces capable of instant destruction.
- Solo capital actors (e.g., "Izzy Crane") — persistent danger outside peak fleet times.
- Unattributed kills (Talos, Svipul) indicate opportunistic ganking or data gaps; assume hostile presence even when attackers are unrecorded.
Advisory / Recommended actions
- Avoid Gerper entirely during 02:00–04:00 UTC. If you cannot detour, postpone transit to low-risk hours well outside the stated windows.
- Do not enter Gerper in high-value, slow, or capital-capable ships. Risk of loss is extremely high.
- If transit is unavoidable:
- Use inexpensive hulls or true-stealth options; remain aligned and ready to warp.
- Minimize on-grid time; do not loiter, undock, or perform prolonged operations.
- Use local/d-scan and conservative bookmarks before making slow-move decisions.
- Treat any sign of Black Ops, Pilgrim/Onyx interdiction ships, large logistics wings, or unusual local spike as a direct escalation — withdraw immediately.
Bottom line
Gerper currently hosts coordinated capital-scale operations and isolated capital threats that make the system unsafe for valuable or slow-moving ships. Plan routes to avoid Gerper during peak hours and exercise maximum caution at all other times.
