Gerper – 2025-11-06
Date: YC125.11.05
System: Gerper (Everyshore Region — reported as High-Security)
SUMMARY
- Gerper experienced a full-scale capital engagement on YC125.11.05 (08:00–11:30 UTC) involving multiple Dreadnoughts (Zirnitra, Revelation, Naglfar, Moros), Force Auxiliaries (Apostle), and large Battleship contingents (Leshak, Tempest F., etc.).
- Immediate Local Threat Level: 4.5 / 5.0 — catastrophic danger to non-capital pilots. This elevated level is expected to remain until capital wreckage is cleared and fleets withdraw (historical precedent: ~12–24 hours after major engagements).
- Actors: No clear alliance/corporation identification available in the supplied analysis — capital deployments observed, but major parties are unclassified in the report.
CURRENT THREAT PROFILE
- Primary risk: Capital-scale weapons and dedicated capital logistics. Zirnitra/Triglavian and conventional Dreadnoughts present guaranteed lethality to sub-capital and most capital ships caught in the engagement zone.
- Secondary risks: Interdictors (Flycatcher), Electronic Attack Ships (Hyena, Keres), and solo/highly efficient hunters (Tengu) operating in system — these prevent escape and facilitate kills on high-value, slow, or mission/hauler traffic.
- Small-gang activity persists (frigates/ destroyers/cruisers), with predictable highsec ganking and opportunistic isolation attacks on haulers and mission-runners.
TIME PATTERNS OF NOTE
- Prime escalation window observed: ~10:00–11:30 UTC (late US / early EU overlap) — major fleets mobilized in this span.
- Early-morning EW harassment: ~03:00–04:00 UTC.
- Late-night solo/roaming activity: ~23:00 UTC.
IMMEDIATE ADVISORY (ACTIONS)
- Avoid Gerper entirely until capital wreckage is cleared and capital/logistics presence is demonstrably gone. Current status: DO NOT ENTER if possible.
- Absolutely DO NOT transit through Gerper with:
- Cargo haulers (industrial chars / transports)
- Mission-running battlecruisers/cruisers with high cargo or low mobility
- Capitals or supercapitals (guaranteed engagement risk)
- If transit is unavoidable:
- Use small, high-mobility, low-signature vessels (covert / fast frigates or similarly mobile fits).
- Do not use or create cynos in or near Gerper; expect active cyno generation and capital responses.
- Align-and-warp doctrine: stay aligned to a safe spot/station, have immediate warp-out options, and minimize on-grid time.
- Avoid localized pockets of wreckage and fleet debris — these are attractors for salvage/miners and can be re-engagement points.
- Logistics/trade operators: reroute around Gerper for the next 12–24 hours where possible; high-value convoys should be postponed.
INDICATORS OF DE-ESCALATION
- Reduction in capital-class kills and disappearance of capital logistics (Apostles, Dreads) from system activity for sustained hours.
- No new cyno activity or capital warp-ins for an extended period (several hours).
- Note: the provided analysis indicates capital wreckage removal is the main gating factor — expect operations to continue locally until clear.
THREAT BREAKDOWN (Key ship classes observed)
- Zirnitra / Revelation / Naglfar / Moros (Dreadnoughts) — Top-tier lethality (5.0).
- Apostle (Force Auxiliary) — Enables sustained capital operations (4.5).
- Leshak / Tempest F. / Abaddon / Vindicator (Battleships) — High DPS/tank support (4.0).
- Tengu / Proteus / Loki (Strategic Cruisers) — Solo hunting and fleet utility (3.0).
- Flycatcher / Hyena / Keres (EW / Interdictors) — Prevent escape, enable kills (2.5).
- Jackdaw / Destroyer-level small-gang craft — Local harassment and opportunistic strikes (2.0).
FINAL WARNING
Gerper is a DEATH ZONE while capital fleets and logistics remain present. Treat the system as critically hostile and plan operations to avoid it until evidence of withdrawal and cleanup is clear. Risk to slow or valuable assets is near-certain during the present state.
