Gerper – 2025-10-12

Gerper System Advisory — Opportunistic Solo Hunters Active

Date: 2025-10-12 UTC
Sector: Gerper (Low-Sec)

Executive: Gerper exhibits persistent low-to-medium intensity hostility. Attacks are opportunistic and skew toward skilled solo hunters; industrial and mid-tier combat ships are highest risk. Activity concentrates on weekday primetimes in both EUTZ and USTZ.

Threat Snapshot

  • Environment: Low-sec — CONCORD response limited; expect player aggression.
  • Recent losses: 6 recorded incidents across the workweek targeting Venture, Vexor Navy Issue, Talos, Svipul, Algos and a Mobile Tractor Unit.
  • Temporal pattern: EUTZ midday (≈11:00–13:00 UTC) and USTZ evening (≈20:00–22:00 UTC) show peaks. All observed incidents fell on weekdays.

Top Threat Profiles (real_thread)

  1. "The Lone Hunter: Astero Specialist" — real_thread 4.0

    • Cloaked/light-interdictor ambushes vs industrials (Venture). High lethality for unescorted miners.
  2. "The Lone Hunter: Orthrus" — real_thread 4.5

    • Fast missile cruiser capable of killing medium combat cruisers (Vexor Navy Issue). Very dangerous for solo PvE/PvP cruisers.
  3. "The Mobile Asset Destroyer: Ishkur" — real_thread 3.0

    • Targets unpiloted/deployed assets (Mobile Tractor Unit). Guaranteed loss for unsecured structures.
  4. "The Unseen/Unidentified Predator" — real_thread 3.5

    • Multiple killmails lack attacker data. Represents unpredictable, hard-to-profile threats that evade traces.
  5. "Tactical Destroyer Hunter" — real_thread 3.8

    • Proven ability to take down agile, high-value small ships (Svipul). Threat to solo small-ship pilots.
  6. "Battlecruiser Ambush Predator" — real_thread 4.2

    • Capable of overcoming battlecruisers (Talos). Indicates either coordinated small gangs or high-skill solo tactics.

Operational Advice (for Low-Sec transit/operations)

  • Avoid solo operations in valuable or non-combat ships. If you must, accept higher risk or limit exposure time.
  • Fit for survival: on industrials prioritize warp-core stability and basics of tank; on combat hulls consider exit-speed and disengage modules.
  • Maintain constant situational awareness: monitor Local and D-scan; be ready to warp off immediately.
  • Vary routes and schedules; don’t linger on gates, belts, or near unattended deployables.
  • Secure deployables: do not leave Mobile Tractor Units or structures unattended in Gerper.

Closing: Threats in Gerper are opportunistic and skilled. Expect continued weekday primetime pressure; treat unescorted activity and unsecured assets as high risk.
