Gerper – 2025-10-11
EIN Advisory — Gerper: Immediate High-Risk Warning
Summary
- Recent killmail analysis shows Gerper is actively contested. Large, coordinated fleet actions and dedicated hunters operate throughout the week. Gerper is Low-Sec — expect interceptors, covert cynos, and fast strike teams.
- Highest danger window: Sunday early morning UTC (≈02:00–04:00). Multiple catastrophic fleet actions recorded in that slot.
Confirmed top threats (from analyst data)
- Black Ops Strike Force — 5.0 (Guaranteed Death)
- Mass Redeemers & Widows with Pilgrim/Pacifier support. Detected 02:50 UTC (Sunday). Covert cynos and high-alpha strikes; extreme threat to any unescorted vessel.
- Heavy Battleship Assault Fleet — 5.0 (Guaranteed Death)
- Barghests, Zirnitras, Revelations with Logistics, Recon, and Interdiction. Detected 03:32 UTC (Sunday). Sustained fleet brawling capability.
- Lone Wolf Talos / Svipul incidents — 2.0 (Low-Risk)
- Isolated losses; indicative of solo actors but not systemic fleet threat.
- Ishkur Stalker — 3.0 (Moderate Risk)
- Active predator destroying passive assets (MTU) around midday UTC.
- Astero Predator — 3.5 (Moderate/High Risk)
- Stealth hunter targeting miners/explorers in evening UTC.
- Emerging Orthrus activity — 3.0–4.0 (Moderate/High) later in week; indicates expanding threat envelope.
Day/time pattern (actionable)
- Sunday 02:00–04:00 UTC: Treat as 5.0 — do not enter Gerper unless in an organized, combat-capable fleet.
- Weekday mid-day: 2.0–3.0 — opportunistic hunters (Ishkur); avoid passive operations without escorts.
- Weekday evenings: 3.0–4.0 — increased solo/small gang activity and stealth hunters; miners and exploration frigates at elevated risk.
Recommendations
- Avoid Gerper during Sunday early-morning UTC (≈02:00–04:00). High probability of Black Ops + Battleship fleets.
- Industrial traffic (haulers, miners, MTUs): reroute or run with dedicated combat escorts, especially midday and evening UTC. Do not leave vulnerable assets unattended.
- Solo explorers/miners: assume active Astero/Ishkur hunters; prefer probes/ships with fast warp and interdiction countermeasures.
- PvP/combat pilots: expect heavy interdictors, logistics, and recon. Bring proper e-war/resist fits and an exit plan; re-evaluate fleet composition before committing.
- Always use D-scan and watch Local. Early detection of Black Ops or large battleship formations is vital — they can appear via covert cyno.
Final note
Gerper’s recent activity shows coordinated, high-value operations and opportunistic hunters. Treat the system as hostile and plan accordingly. Safe travels, Capsuleers.
