EIN-Advisory — Gerper (Low-Sec, Everyshore) — Elevated Threat Environment (Real_Thread: 3.2/5.0)

Date window: YC127.10 (Kills: Oct 26 — Nov 01)

Executive: Gerper is an active low-sec hunting ground with repeated, focused interdictions against explorers, miners and under-defended cruisers/battlecruisers. Activity is moderate (10 kills in 7 days) but concentrated into predictable windows and driven by a persistent rogue soloist and a handful of competent solo/small-gang actors. Casual transits, mining and scanning runs are at elevated risk.

Key system facts

• Security: Low-Sec (Everyshore).
• Activity level: Moderate — consistent hunting operations; highest intensity on Thursday and Saturday in the analyzed week.
• Most-targeted hulls: Venture (mining), Buzzard (covert scanner), Drake (PVE/looter) and other poorly tanked cruisers/battlecruisers.
• Overall risk rating: Elevated — assume the system is actively hunted during the windows below.

Primary threats (ranked)

1. Ronen Uitra — The Rogue Soloist (Real_Thread 4.0)

   • Ships: Astero, Succubus.
   • Pattern: High frequency; peak 13:00–21:00 UTC (mid-week emphasis). Targets miners/explorers and uses fast, hard-to-tackle frigates. High local warning.

2. Hunter Dredd — Rapid Response Hunter (3.8)

   • Ship: Orthrus (heavy missile).
   • Pattern: Clustered, high-consequence strikes in the early UTC morning (~04:48–04:57). Targets industrials and capsules.

3. Dejan Estemaire — T3 Stalker (3.5)

   • Ship: Tengu.
   • Pattern: Sporadic, high-commitment; engages heavier ships (Drake). Expect stealthy, high-alpha engagements.

4. Small Cyno Interdiction Gang (3.0)

   • Ships: Hyena, Flycatcher, Jackdaw.
   • Pattern: Coordinated gang action (observed Nov 1, 03:14) focused on infrastructure and slow-moving/anchored targets.

5. Yasiin Bey (2.5) — known bait/support (Venture).

6. DictorBabbleBabble (2.0) — Flycatcher interdictor; part of cyno gang.

When to be most careful

• Late UTC afternoon/evening: 13:00–21:00 UTC — Ronen Uitra and associates are most active. Avoid casual mining/scanning in this window.
• Early UTC morning: 03:00–05:00 UTC — Hunter Dredd and the cyno gang have struck. Expect coordinated actions and infrastructure-targeting during this period.
• Highest kill days (sampled week): Thursday and Saturday.

Tactical recommendations (rooted in observed behavior)

• Avoid the hot windows: Do not run solo mining or scanning ops in Gerper during 13:00–21:00 UTC or 03:00–05:00 UTC.
• Do not loiter on gates, warps or undock points: Hunters with covert ops and interdictors are present. Align to safe spots, warp off-grid quickly, and keep a low signature while warping.
• Assume covert ops frigate presence: Use cloaks when applicable, scout with expendable probes or warp in with a combat-capable scout instead of an unescorted Buzzard.
• Prepare for tackle and high alpha: If operating cruisers/battlecruisers, fit for rapid align, higher transversal, and consider logistics or a dedicated scout to mitigate T3/Tengu-style alpha attacks.
• Travel light or travel together: Avoid flying high-value, stationary mining fits (full Venture rigs or MWD-less miners) alone. When possible, move expensive assets in small groups with at least one combat-capable escort.
• Counter cyno/interdiction risk: Expect Flycatcher/Hyena/Jackdaw setups in the early-morning window. Avoid prolonged, slow activities (cyno generators, slow-moving industrial transfers) at those times.
• Watch local and recent kill activity: If known hunters (Ronen Uitra, Hunter Dredd, Dejan Estemaire) are present or recent kills cluster, assume elevated immediate danger and exit the system.
• Use mobility modules and escape plans: Have a micro-warp, MJD-capable alt or ready bookmarks for safe warp-out to reduce time-on-target if engaged.

Final warning
Gerper is not a guaranteed death zone, but the consistency and predictability of the observed threat actors raises risk above typical low-sec background levels. Casual, AFK, or poorly prepared operations are specifically targeted. Exercise caution, adjust schedules to avoid peak windows, and assume hunters will attempt fast, decisive strikes.
