GERPER — HIGH-THREAT ADVISORY (Everyshore Region)

Period covered: 2025-10-28 → 2025-11-01
Threat rating: High (System Threat Level: 4.0 — Extremely Dangerous for solo/mining/isolated activity)

---

Summary

• Gerper is actively hunted by highly competent solo and small‑gang actors using specialized platforms (Tengu strategic cruisers, Orthrus HACs, Flycatcher interdictors, and cloaky/covert frigates).
• Two consistent high‑risk windows: Early Morning (03:00–05:00 UTC) and Late Evening (20:00–23:30 UTC). Attacks on 2025‑11‑01 show concentrated, repeated clears by the same pilot(s).
• Primary victims: miners and industrial ships (Venture, Covetor) and even PVE/combat ships (Drake, Algos). Hostiles demonstrate grid lockdown capability and rapid kill cycles.

Observed patterns (selected kill IDs as reference)

• Early morning cluster: Kill IDs 130861687, 130861743, 130861765, 130902829, 130902860.
• Late evening cluster: Kill IDs 130854393, 130927050, 130927060, 130927071, 130927103.
• Repeated concentrated action on 2025‑11‑01 indicates targeted system clearing by the same pilot/ship combinations.

Top active hostile threads (repeat actors / high-impact ships)

1. Dejan Estemaire — Tengu (Strategic Cruiser) — Threat 5.0
   Unstoppable solo hunter: destroyed a Drake and an Algos in rapid succession; capable of clearing active grid.
2. Hunter Dredd — Orthrus (HAC) — Threat 4.5
   Industrial-target specialist: completed full gank cycles on mining barges.
3. DictorBabbleBabble — Flycatcher (Interdictor) — Threat 4.0
   Fleet enabler: used to lock grid and prevent escape; key to coordinated captures.
4. Ronen Uitra — Astero / Succubus (Covert Ops / Faction Frigate) — Threat 3.5
   Roamer/hunter: effective at catching small industrial frigates.
5. LaserzPewPew — Jackdaw (Tactical Destroyer) — Threat 3.0
   Damage projector: involved in rapid inhibitor/structure takedowns.
6. Yasiin Bey — Venture (Frigate) — Threat 2.5
   Operates as bait/ambush support in low-cost, cooperative assaults.

Vulnerable targets

• Mining frigates/barges (Venture, Covetor) — primary targets (5 confirmed losses).
• Mobile cyno infrastructure (Cynosural Inhibitor/Beacon) — targeted to deny jump operations.
• Combat/PVE ships (Drake, Algos) — proven at risk against the Tengu pilot.

Immediate recommendations (rooted in observed tradecraft)

• Avoid solo mining or hauling in Gerper during the high‑risk windows: 03:00–05:00 UTC and 20:00–23:30 UTC. Treat the system as hostile during those times.
• Do not undock high‑value PVE ships (BC and above) or expensive industrial ships during monitored windows unless escorted by competent combat forces.
• Use active scouting: run constant D‑scan and have at least one cloaky/covert scout (Astero/Covert Ops) or a pre‑positioned spotter aligned to escape points before committing to an op.
• Assume interdiction risk: pre‑align to warp‑outs (warp to 0 on safe celestials), bookmark instant warp points, and maintain a clear instant‑warp plan. Expect Flycatcher/Interdictor use.
• Fit industrial ships for survival: use warp core stabilizers and tank appropriate to your hull’s slot limits; prefer multi‑pilot mining ops rather than solo. If alone, minimize time at belts and use short, frequent hauls.
• If you see T3 cruisers (Tengu), HACs (Orthrus), Interdictors, or multiple cloaky/frigate contacts in system — exit immediately. These classes are associated with the most successful kills recorded.
• For infrastructure or fleet operations (jumping/cyno activity), assume hostiles are actively denying cynos — avoid unprotected cynos and consider alternate routing.

Tactical considerations for locals in low‑sec

• Low‑sec: no CONCORD response and gate camps/interdiction are effective. Expect hunters to exploit low population times and common traffic windows.
• Do not rely on local alone; low population periods are when hunter activity spikes. Use active intel tools (d‑scan, directional scanner) and scouting rather than local count as sole indicator.

Concluding assessment
Gerper is under active, organized predation by skilled, repeat offenders. The system should be treated as hostile during the identified time windows and whenever the listed ship classes are present. Miners, haulers, and solo PVE pilots face elevated loss risk; apply the recommendations above to reduce exposure.
