Gerper – 2025-10-20
EIN-Advisory: Gerper — Active Industrial Hunter "Jay Monkey" (Low-Sec)
Date: 2025-10-20
System: Gerper (Everyshore) — Low-Sec
Threat Level: Moderate-High (Escalating)
Executive Summary
- Gerper is currently a hunting ground for predatory pilots targeting industrial ships, primarily Ventures.
- A known actor, "Jay Monkey," operates a Manticore stealth bomber and is responsible for multiple swift, cloaked attacks. Industrial pilots operating alone in Gerper face a high risk of destruction.
Confirmed Threats & Patterns
- Primary Threat: "Jay Monkey" (Manticore, stealth bomber) — real_thread: 4.5 / 5.0 against industrial vessels. Cloak-enabled, fast-strike profile; near-certain kill chance versus unescorted Ventures.
- Secondary Indicator: Unattributed kill of "AdriLando" (Venture) — real_thread: ~4.0 / 5.0 for industrial targets. Suggests additional opportunistic risks or unrecorded attacker methods.
- Time Window: Attacks clustered during lower-traffic hours (~20:00–03:00 UTC). Expect elevated danger in late evening / early morning UTC.
- System Characteristic: Low-activity environment increases effectiveness of stealth and opportunistic predators.
Immediate Operational Recommendations (Industrial & Transit)
- Avoid solo industrial operations in Gerper. Do not mine/haul alone if transiting or working in-system.
- Use combat-capable escorts when operating Ventures or other unarmed industrial hulls.
- Maintain continuous D-Scan discipline and monitor directional signatures; assume cloaked assets may be present.
- Pre-create multiple instant warp-out bookmarks and align warp vectors before undocking. Be ready to warp immediately on a suspicious ping.
- Fit mobility options: consider a Micro Warp Drive or other modules that improve warp/escape speed and alignment.
- Do not go AFK in industrial ships. Minimize time spent exposed without reactive piloting.
- If carrying high-value cargo or operating lucrative mining ops, consider relocating to a higher-security system until threat activity subsides.
Tactical Notes
- Do not attempt to engage a stealth bomber in a Venture or similar unarmed industrial hull. Survival depends on speed and escape, not confrontation.
- Expect adversaries to exploit quiet windows; plan operations during busier times when more pilots are likely to be present.
Outlook
- Continued unchecked predation will degrade Gerper’s appeal for industrial traffic — expect pilots to avoid the system or to increase escorting and counter-presence if resources justify it. Stay cautious and favor escape and convoying over lone risk-taking.
