Gerper – 2025-10-15
GERPER — Elevated Threat Advisory (Local Warning!)
Attention Capsuleers — Gerper (Low-Sec)
Threat Level: Elevated (Local Warning!)
Recent analyst data shows a spike in organized and opportunistic aggression. Operate with extreme caution, especially during identified peak windows.
Key Patterns
- Mid-week evening spikes: Weds/Thurs 19:00–23:00 UTC show heightened successful engagements.
- Weekend: relative lull in recorded incidents — not safe; may reflect schedule shifts.
- Sporadic daytime strikes: isolated morning attacks demonstrate threats persist outside peak hours.
Top 6 Threat Profiles (observed activity & danger rating)
- The Mobile Tractor Unit Hunter — Yvain Dragonheart (1371030664) | Ishkur
- Targets MTUs and unescorted industrials. Observed kill: 2025-10-08 12:53 UTC.
- real_thread: 4.0 — high economic risk to deployed MTUs.
- The Venture Poacher — Oreo Otichoda (2118568440) | Astero
- Dedicated anti-miner using covert ops; observed kill: 2025-10-09 20:07 UTC.
- real_thread: 4.5 — near-guaranteed death for unescorted Ventures.
- The Venture Poacher — Jay Monkey (2118436964) | Manticore
- High-alpha stealth bomber anti-miner; observed kill: 2025-10-13 20:44 UTC.
- real_thread: 4.5 — same high risk to Ventures.
- Algos Ambushers (Unidentified attackers)
- Ambush on an Algos: 2025-10-09 22:38 UTC; attackers unlisted — implies cloaked/decisive strike.
- real_thread: 3.5 — significant risk to lightly fitted small combat ships.
- Vexor Navy Issue Hunter — Boruet Annages (2117508945) | Orthrus
- Orthrus engaged and destroyed cruiser-class targets: 2025-10-10 16:16 UTC.
- real_thread: 4.0 — potent solo threat to cruisers/battlecruisers.
- (Consolidated pattern) Multiple dedicated anti-miner and fast-strike platforms operating in-system — elevates overall predator presence.
Recommended Actions (rooted in observed activity)
- Miners (Ventures): Do not mine solo in Gerper, especially Weds/Thurs 19–23 UTC. Use dedicated, combat-capable escorts or relocate to higher-sec if escorts unavailable.
- MTU operators / Industrials: Avoid deploying MTUs without active, immediate protection; expect targeted retrievals/salvage runs.
- Frigates/Destroyers: Fit for survivability (warp core stabilizers where applicable) and expect cloaked ambushes. Avoid isolated ops in likely choke points.
- Cruiser pilots: Do not engage Orthrus pilot Boruet Annages without clear superiority in numbers/fitting.
- General: Prioritize situational awareness; assume hostile intent from cloaked or untagged contacts. Plan transits outside peak windows when possible.
Stay vigilant — adjust operations to minimize exposure during the identified risk windows.
