Gerper – 2025-10-28
Date: 2025-10-27
Region: Everyshore — System: Gerper (Low-Sec)
Threat Level: Elevated (3.5 / 5.0)
Summary
- Gerper is an active hunting ground for a small, organized group of pilots conducting focused, persistent strikes across ship classes (frigates → T3 cruisers → rare battleships).
- Attacks heavily employ Electronic Warfare (Sentinel/Curse) alongside a Proteus primary. This combination routinely neutralizes or cripples targets quickly.
- Peak danger windows are late-afternoon/early-evening on Fridays and Saturdays, with an additional late-Friday surge around 23:00 UTC.
- Solo pilots and static operations (mining, ratting, MTU deployments) are at heightened risk.
Immediate Threat Windows (UTC)
- Friday — 15:00–16:00 (highest risk; T3/Tengu/Pod kills observed)
- Friday — 23:00–00:00 (late-night hunting; MTU/Vexor vulnerability)
- Saturday — 16:00–17:00 (high-value ship engagement; E-War escalations)
Named Adversaries (Observed)
- Michel Ferran — Proteus (T3). High-frequency attacker; capable of decisive single-ship kills. Presence signals severe danger for lone targets.
- Boruet Annages — Sentinel (E-War frigate). Primary electronic warfare operator, focused on energy neutrality and module disruption. Frequently paired with other attackers.
- Tefkros — Curse (E-War cruiser). Demonstrated ability to escalate E-War pairing with Sentinel against high-tanked targets (Tholos).
- Ronen Uitra — Astero. Opportunistic hunter for cloaky/soft targets near gates/stations.
Tactical Advisories (rooted in observed behavior)
- High-Value Ships (Tengu/Tholos/etc.)
- Avoid 15:00–17:00 UTC on Fridays/Saturdays. If operation is unavoidable, travel with at least one competent E-War-counter or shield/armor logistics wing.
- Expect targeted neut/jam chains — ensure capacitor stability (cap boosters, tank margin) and bring remote reps or a rolling logistics escort where possible.
- Logistics / PvE / MTU Operators (Vexor, MTU deployments)
- Do not deploy MTUs or run stationary PvE during known peak windows, especially after 23:00 UTC on Fridays.
- Move assets off-grid during risky hours and favor timed runs outside peak windows.
- Covert Ops / Cloaky Scouts (Buzzard, Astero)
- Maintain strict cloaking discipline near gates and stations during mid-afternoon hours. Expect hunters like the observed Astero.
- Use caution when un-cloaking for scans or probes in system; do so from safe align and with warp-in support if possible.
- General Solo Travel
- Avoid Gerper during peak windows unless traveling in numbers (wing/alliance support) or in specialised anti-E-War fits.
- Fit sensor- and capacitor-resilience where feasible (sensor boosters, cap stability mods, alignability), and travel with a scout/escort if carrying valuable cargo.
- Remain aligned and prepared to warp on short notice; soft anchoring and prolonged idling increases vulnerability.
Guaranteed-Death Warning
- Any lone pilot in close proximity to Michel Ferran (Proteus) or the Boruet Annages + Tefkros E-War pairing during peak hours faces extreme risk (observed near-certain loss without capable backup).
Conclusion
Gerper is a persistent, purpose-driven hunting system — not a casual gank hotspot. The small team’s frequent use of high-tier E-War and a Proteus primary makes solo and static operations especially hazardous. Adjust travel and PvE schedules to avoid identified windows, and treat any sighting of the named pilots as a serious escalation indicator.
