EIN-Advisory — Gerper (Everyshore): High Local Threat; EU Prime Window Danger

Date: 2025-10-26
Source: Everyshore Intel Network (EIN) — based on analyst data for Gerper

Executive Summary

• Gerper (Low-Sec) is currently assessed at High Local Threat: 4.0 / 5.0.
• Predatory small-gang and solo piracy—frequently using stealth (Astero) and electronic warfare (Sentinel, Curse) with a Proteus as primary damage dealer—has produced multiple successful kills across a wide target set (industrial, cruisers, and strategic hulls).
• Primary danger window: Mid‑afternoon through late evening UTC (approx. 15:00 — 24:00 UTC); Friday activity is notably elevated.
• Miners and explorers face extreme risk; even high-value strategic hulls (Tengu, Tholos) are being actively hunted.

Activity Pattern (Confirmed Incidents)

• Mon 20 Oct — 16:52 UTC: solo stealth engagement (Astero-style).
• Thu 23 Oct — 10:58 UTC: single morning incident.
• Fri 24 Oct — 15:51–15:52 UTC: concentrated attack on a strategic cruiser (Tengu).
• Fri 24 Oct — 23:17–23:22 UTC: cruiser and MTU targeted; late EU/early US activity.
• Sat 25 Oct — 16:13 UTC: coordinated E-War gang engagement.

Named Threat Actors & Operational Profiles

• Boruet Annages — Sentinel (E‑War frigate)

  • Role: ECM/warp disruption and utility E‑War; enables tackle and prevents escape.
  • Observed kills/assists: 3
  • Threat Level: 4.2 / 5.0 — essential support for multi-ship kills.

• Michel Ferran — Proteus (Strategic Cruiser)

  • Role: Primary damage application and tank; finishes high-value targets.
  • Observed kills: 4
  • Threat Level: 4.5 / 5.0 — critical single-ship killing capacity; presence on grid greatly raises mortality probability.

• Ronen Uitra — Astero (Stealth Frigate)

  • Role: Opportunistic solo/ambush specialist against miners and undefended ships.
  • Observed kills: 2 (including Retriever)
  • Threat Level: 3.8 / 5.0 — direct danger to industrial and explorer pilots.

• Michel Ferran + Boruet Annages (Lethal Duo)

  • Composition: Proteus (damage/tank) + Sentinel (E‑War support).
  • Outcome: Proven effective destruction of Tengu/Tholos-class targets.
  • Threat Level: 4.7 / 5.0 — coordinated synergy; difficult for single pilots to counter.

• Tefkros — Curse (E‑War/neutralizer)

  • Role: Extended E‑War and capacitor pressure; participated in Tholos kill.
  • Observed assists: 1
  • Threat Level: 4.0 / 5.0 — augments E‑War capability and increases success vs capacitor-reliant fits.

• Strategic Hull Targeting

  • Observed focus on Tech‑3 cruisers (Tengu) and command/strategic hulls (Tholos).
  • Threat Level: 4.8 / 5.0 — rejection of "only mining" targets; high-value ships are actively being sought and destroyed during peak hours.

Actionable Recommendations (Rooted in observed tactics)

1. Avoid peak window: Do not travel through or operate in Gerper between ~15:00–24:00 UTC whenever possible; Friday hours are especially hazardous.
2. Do not solo in fragile or capacitor‑dependent fits: Expect ECM, neutralizers and web/scram support. Avoid reliance on modules that can be quickly neutralized; fit passive or redundant systems where feasible.
3. Fit for escape and E‑War resistance:
   • Include warp core stabilizers for non‑combat ships; consider active cloak or a high‑margin align/AB setup for emergency warp.
   • Carry anti‑ECM measures (drones/links where applicable) and be prepared for capacitor pressure if you must remain.
4. High‑value hulls require escort or alternative routing: Tengu/Tholos/Proteus-class movements should be accompanied by a dedicated fleet or avoided during the danger window.
5. Miners/industrial pilots:
   • Do not deploy MTUs unattended during peak hours.
   • Use mobile mining/quick‑recover fits and avoid long‑duration orbiting in the open.
6. Scouts and recon:
   • Use a dedicated scouting alt or recon methods before committing to gates/waypoints in Gerper during the identified window.
7. If engaged with E‑War and heavy DPS (Proteus + Sentinel/Curse signature), prioritize escape rather than protracted fights—this combo demonstrates high kill probability for isolated targets.

Intent and Limitations

• This advisory is based on the supplied intelligence snapshot covering recent engagements and confirmed actor identifications. No broader alliance-level attribution is asserted here; named pilots and ship types are the observed basis for the threat assessment.

Stay vigilant. Gerper is an active hunting ground for coordinated small‑gang pirates during EU prime hours — plan operations accordingly.
