GERPER — IMMEDIATE ADVISORY: High Lethality from Specialized Hunters (Everyshore)

Classification: IMMEDIATE ACTION REQUIRED
Analyst: Everyshore Intel Network (based on last recorded killmail 2025-11-02)

Executive summary

• Gerper, normally quiet, is currently a high-risk system. Multiple, coordinated ganks and fast-strike operations have been recorded against miners, industrials, and combat pilots.
• Attacks are executed by small, highly mobile hunter teams (covert ops and faction cruisers) and a T3 strategic cruiser operator capable of rapid, lethal engagements.
• Peak threat windows: 03:00–05:00 UTC and 20:00–23:30 UTC. Avoid resource ops in these windows.

Threat snapshot

• Resource Gathering (Venture/Covetor): 4.5 — repeated, efficient ganks make survival unlikely for unmanned/undyed miners.
• Industrial Movements/Freighting: 3.0 — no freighter kills recorded, but high-DPS cruisers and interdictors make slow/massive hauls vulnerable.
• Casual/PvP Ships (Drake, Algos): 3.5 — combat hulls have been rapidly eliminated by a Tengu; solo combat is risky.
• Static Assets (Beacons/Inhibitors): 4.0 — Mobile Cyno Inhibitors and beacons were intentionally destroyed; operators are actively denying cyno/structure support.

Observed time pattern

• Morning spike: 03:00–05:00 UTC — includes structural E-war activity and a Covetor/Velator sequence (04:48 UTC).
• Evening spike: 20:00–23:30 UTC — includes Venture kill (20:34 UTC) and rapid Drake/Algos elimination (23:07–23:10 UTC).

Top hostile operators (observed)

• Ronen Uitra — Astero / Succubus (Frigate/Faction): Covert-ops hunting specialist. High mobility; likely operates from cloaked positions. Threat 4.0.
• Hunter Dredd — Orthrus (Faction Cruiser): Efficient industrial executioner; eliminated Covetor/Velator/Capsule sequence. Threat 4.5.
• Dejan Estemaire — Tengu (Strategic Cruiser): Eliminated Drake and Algos and both capsules rapidly. Highest individual threat — powerful, versatile T3 fits. Threat 4.8.
• LaserzPewPew & DictorBabbleBabble — Jackdaw & Flycatcher: Coordinated E-war/interdiction team focused on structure disruption and pinning targets. Threat 3.8.
• Yasiin Bey — Venture (Frigate): Likely bait/support in gank operations. Threat 2.5 (as a tactic element).
• Namlss & StoniLee — Drake & Algos (combat hulls): Victims demonstrating the lethality of T3/tactical hunters. Threat 3.0.

Actionable recommendations
Resource gatherers (Venture, Covetor, gas huffers)

• DO NOT operate in Gerper during 03:00–05:00 UTC or 20:00–23:30 UTC.
• Prefer alternative systems with lower recent activity. If you must be in Gerper, bring combat-capable escorts (interceptors/assault frigates) or avoid belts entirely.
• Always align to a safe, keep a warp-out bookmark, maintain constant D-scan checks, and be ready to warp on sub-3s if you see hostile contacts.
• Consider using cloaky ships (Astero/Covert Ops) for critical scanning or courier tasks.

Industrial movers / haulers

• Defer non-urgent freighting through Gerper. If transit is unavoidable, use the fastest, most defensible option available (jump freighter logistics where appropriate) and avoid solo slow freighters in-system.
• Be mindful of interdiction ships (Flycatcher) recorded in the area — slow ships are vulnerable to quick tackle + high DPS.

PvP / combat pilots

• Expect Tengu and Orthrus-level pilots operating alone or in small teams. Solo mid-/heavy combat cruisers are at risk unless fleet-backed.
• If hunting in Gerper, bring scouts, tackle support for cloaky/hunter threats, and be prepared for rapid counter-engagement from a well-fit T3.
• Avoid engaging without clear situational control and intel on cloaky assets.

Corporate/Alliance leadership & FCs

• Do not assign mining ops or unescorted hauls in Gerper during peak times.
• If planning structure activity, anticipate E-war and cyno-denial tactics from small coordinated teams; schedule operations outside the recorded windows and bring specialized E-war counters and interdictor suppression.

General pilots — situational tips

• Prioritize constant D-scan and use local/overview filters to spot suspicious small ships (Astero, Venture) that may be bait or scouts.
• Bookmark safe spots for immediate warp-out; do not remain stationary in belts or on gates when only lightly tanked.
• Assume swift escalation: recorded sequences show kills completed within minutes of first contact.

Status

• This advisory is based on the last recorded killmail dated 2025-11-02. Gerper remains a high-threat environment; treat the system as hostile until further pattern changes are observed.
