Gerper – 2025-10-10
GERPER SYSTEM ADVISORY — Elevated Risk Windows & "CODE RED" Fleet Activity
Overall Threat Level: MODERATE (periods of HIGH intensity)
Summary
- Gerper is actively contested. Two recent large-scale hostile operations featuring multiple capitals and heavy support were recorded; these present a near-certain kill for unprepared pilots. Smaller, agile hunters also operate regularly.
- Prime danger windows (UTC): 02:00–04:00 (notably 02:50–03:32) and 08:00–09:00. Weekend spikes observed (largest events on Oct 5).
Top Threats & Profiles
-
"CODE RED" Capital & Force Projection Fleet — real_thread 5.0 (GUARANTEED DEATH)
- Composition: Redeemers, Widow, Zirnitra, Revelation Navy Issue, supported by Barghest, Loki, Huginn, Claymore, Scimitar.
- Scale: 28–44 attackers observed.
- Observed: Oct 5 (02:50:52Z, 03:32:55Z).
- Mitigation: Absolute avoidance. If engaged, escape is preferable; destroy-on-purpose or use post-jump invulnerability windows if applicable. Do NOT attempt to fight.
-
Solitary Heavy Assault Specialist — real_thread 3.5 (High Risk)
- Example: "Izzy Crane" in Moros Navy Issue (observed Oct 4, 08:20:40Z).
- Mitigation: Small ships should flee; only engage with proper counters and support.
-
Hunter/Killer Frigate & Cruiser — real_thread 3.0 (Moderate–High)
- Examples: Astero ("Oreo Otichoda"), Ishkur ("Yvain Dragonheart").
- Tactics: Fast, interdiction-capable roams targeting weaker pilots.
- Mitigation: Use situational awareness; avoid isolated ops without scouts or align-out plans.
-
Phantom Killmails — real_thread 1.0–2.0 (Low Risk)
- Many killmails show no attackers (self-destruct/data anomalies). They do not indicate external actors but increase perceived activity.
Operational Guidance (Low‑Sec Context)
- Avoid transits through Gerper during the listed UTC windows, especially weekend early mornings.
- Lone pilots, industrials, transport/logistics ships are highest-risk targets.
- Travel in adequate force or with exit plans when movement is unavoidable; expect capital-level engagements during CODE RED events.
- Do not engage capital fleets; losses are highly likely and rapid.
