Gerper – 2025-10-22
GERPER — Advisory: Active Solo Ganker "Ronen Uitra" Targeting Industrials
IMMEDIATE THREAT: Local ganker activity confirmed in Gerper. Miners and industrial pilots should exercise extreme caution.
Threat Snapshot
- System: Gerper (Low‑sec)
- System Threat Level: 2.5 — Moderate Risk (elevated for industrials)
- Primary Actor: Ronen Uitra (assessed real_thread: 4.0 — Severe for targeted victims)
- Ship of Choice: Astero (cloaky, fast, capable of surprise strikes)
- Observed Tactics: Ambush of industrials (Retriever), followed by capsule destruction. Possible solo scouting or good local awareness.
- Time Window: Incident observed Monday (UTC ~16:52). Activity may concentrate in Monday afternoons/early evenings UTC.
Notable Intelligence
- Confirmed kill sequence: Retriever → capsule destroyed immediately after, indicating thorough follow‑through.
- An additional Venture loss in-system had no attackers listed; cause unconfirmed but underscores that Ventures are being lost in Gerper.
- The actor appears to prefer easy industrial targets; persistence suggests continued presence.
Recommended Mitigations (for low‑sec operations)
- Avoid running unescorted industrials in Gerper while this actor is active.
- Do NOT AFK mine/rat/hauler in-system. Expect targeted ambushes.
- Use scouts or bring an escort capable of catching cloaky threats; consider having a scout maintain D‑scan and local awareness.
- Check local channel for the presence of "Ronen Uitra" before committing a vulnerable ship; if present, assume heightened risk.
- Use instant‑warp bookmarks, align/warmup routines, and conservative safeties (safe‑logoff spots, conservative approach distances).
- Consider using smaller, cheaper ships (or collectors with tank/ECM as appropriate) or postpone operations to another system during the observed time window.
- Secure pod swaps/clones and plan for pod loss contingency; capsule destruction has been observed post‑kill.
Summary
Ronen Uitra is an active, efficient ganker in Gerper with a clear preference for industrials and willingness to finish pods. The system is currently moderate risk overall but severe for vulnerable industrial hulls. Exercise strict operational security, avoid solo industrial operations in-system during likely activity windows, and favor escorts or alternative routes until further pattern changes are observed.
