EIN-Advisory: Gerper — RED: Coordinated Small‑Gang Predation (Threat 3.5/5.0)

System: Gerper (Everyshore)
Issued: 2025-10-26 (Post‑data)
Analyst: Everyshore Intel Network

Executive Summary

• Gerper is currently a HIGH‑RISK low‑sec system. A small, well‑coordinated core of predatory pilots is conducting repeated, targeted ambushes. Activity is predictable and concentrated in late‑afternoon/evening UTC windows, with Fridays and weekends the most dangerous.
• Primary tactics observed: small‑gang strikes using Electronic Warfare (ECM/Neuts), covert ops for scouting and tackle, and Proteus strategic cruiser as the heavy hitter. Rapid double‑kills (ship + pod) indicate efficient gate/belt camping and fast target neutralization.

Threat Level: RED — Elevated / Coordinated Small‑Gang Predation (3.5 / 5.0)

Temporal Threat Windows (UTC)

• Friday: 15:00–16:00 and 23:00–24:00 — highest activity, complex multi‑attacker engagements.
• Saturday: 16:00–17:00 — high‑value target activity (Tholos kill recorded).
• Sunday: 16:00–17:00 — covert ops disruption observed.
• Wednesday: isolated incident 10:00–11:00 (single cruiser gank).
• Monday/Tuesday/Thursday: no recorded incidents in analyzed sample.

Profiled High‑Value Threat Actors (operational roles and observed danger)

• Michel Ferran — Proteus: primary damage dealer and gang anchor. Extreme threat (5.0/5.0).
• Boruet Annages — Sentinel: primary ECM/EW support enabling tackles and kills. Severe threat (4.5/5.0).
• Ronen Uitra — Astero: cloaky/solo hunter preying on miners and covert ops. High threat (4.0/5.0).
• Tefkros — Curse: logistics and EW/neutralization support. Medium‑High threat (3.5/5.0).
• Sentinel/Proteus combo — Integrated small‑gang setup focused on single target overwhelm (4.5/5.0).
• Typical preys: Buzzard, Retriever, Tengu, Tholos — indicates interest in mining, PLEX/cyno runners, and covert ops.

Tactical Assessment

• Attacks are deliberate, not opportunistic flukes. Expect ECM to be present and EWAR stacks that enable fast kill chains against non‑combat ships. The Proteus presence means small, under‑tanked ships are extremely vulnerable. Double‑kills are common; pod loss risk is significant.
• Low‑sec implications: no CONCORD protection and common gate camping; pods are frequently targeted.

Recommended Mitigation & Operational Guidance (rooted in observed intel)
Immediate (apply before entering Gerper)

• Avoid peak windows: Do not transit or conduct mining/exploration in Gerper during Friday 15:00–16:00 & 23:00–24:00 UTC, and weekend 16:00–17:00 UTC.
• Move high‑value cargo and PLEX runs outside these windows or use alternate routes/systems. Treat courier/cyno runs as extremely risky during peak hours.
• Avoid flying cloaky/covert/fragile ships (Astero, Buzzard, lightly fitted explorers/miners) during peak times — these are primary targets. If you must, consider a disposable fit.
• Expect ECM: fit counters where possible (modules and fittings that raise sensor strength or mitigate ECM effects) or operate in ships less dependent on locks and sensor strength.
• Travel in numbers: a small escort or scouting wing significantly reduces the chance of successful single‑target isolation by an EW/Proteus combo.
• Scout and remain aligned: use scouts or pre‑aligned warp‑outs; avoid lingering on gates/belts during known windows.
• Pod security: consider clone/implant strategy and be prepared for pod loss; avoid carrying high‑value implants during transits.
• Avoid predictable behavior: don’t undock miners/explorers at exact, repeated times; vary routes and timings.

Tactical Fitting & Behavior Notes

• If operating combat or freighter assets: emphasize sensor/detection and ECM resistance where available, point‑breaking mobility (afterburner/AB vs MWD depending on gate/camp behavior), and shield/armor tanking against heavy Proteus volley.
• For miners: prefer protected mining (fleet escorted or in safer systems), or use barges fitted for rapid-align/warp to bookmark. Avoid free‑mining in belts during weekend windows.
• For couriers/Cyno runners: reduce signature and cargo profile where possible; use stealth/alternate staging and avoid flashing high‑value loads through Gerper at peak times.

Concluding Warning
Gerper is actively hunted by experienced, coordinated pilots. Treat the system as hostile during the identified windows and adopt conservative operational practices. Expect fast, lethal engagements driven by ECM support and a Proteus anchor; only enter with appropriate countermeasures, escorts, or outside the documented high‑risk windows.
