Gerper – 2025-11-12
EIN-Advisory — Gerper (Everyshore, Low-Sec) — High‑Tier Hunters Active; Avoid High‑Value Traffic During 03:00–04:00 UTC
Date: 2025-11-20 (reporting on activity from 2025-11-07 → 2025-11-09)
Immediate Warning — Threat Level: Elevated to Critical (3.5 → 4.0 / 5.0)
- Gerper is currently a high-risk transit point for high-value and slow assets. Recent strikes were executed by skilled pilots flying Strategic Cruisers (T3C) and Triglavian Battleships (Leshak). Do not move Orcas, Industrial Command Ships, unescorted Battleships or other slow, high-value hulks through Gerper during the identified danger windows.
Snapshot — Recent Incidents (source timeframe)
- 2025-11-07, 03:42–03:45 UTC — Coordinated 2‑pilot T3C blitz: Dominix (Battleship) and Orca (Industrial Command Ship) destroyed in rapid succession by a Loki + Tengu pair.
- 2025-11-09, 03:20 UTC — Targeted strike: CONCORD Enforcer (Force Recon) destroyed by two Leshaks operating together.
- 2025-11-09, 20:02 UTC — Solo T3C ambush: Caracal cruiser destroyed by a single Loki.
Identified Threat Cells and Notable Actors
- Cell Red (T3C pair; high coordination)
- Nhimyk — Loki (Real threat: 4.5) — active in multiple kills, final blows on Capsule/Orca.
- Cadhla Dioltas — Tengu (Real threat: 4.5) — paired with Nhimyk for rapid multi‑kill action.
- Cell Blue (Triglavian heavy hitters)
- Ronnie Cordova — Leshak (Real threat: 4.0)
- Blix Tekitsu — Leshak (Real threat: 4.0)
- Cell Green (Solo T3C)
- Boruet Annages — Loki (Real threat: 3.5)
- Typical victims observed: Dominix (BS), Orca (ICC), Enforcer (FR), Caracal (Cruiser) — a mix of high-value defenseless or medium combat ships.
Threat Characteristics (what to expect)
- T3C activity (Loki, Tengu): fast, versatile, likely using subsystems, cloaking and electronic tools — capable of hunting, applying tackle, and escaping rapidly. Expect coordinated two‑man tactics for fast multi‑kills.
- Leshak presence: raw heavy firepower able to blow up armored or shielded high‑value targets quickly. Two Leshaks together present overwhelming sustained damage.
- Time pattern: clear spikes in the late‑night/early‑morning UTC window (03:00–04:00). Secondary, isolated evening activity observed (~20:00 UTC). Activity to date clustered on weekend nights/early mornings.
Recommended Actions (rooted in observed intel)
- Avoid Gerper for any movement of high-value assets (Orcas, Industrial Command Ships, freighter/battleship transfers) until the threat subsides.
- Do not transit Gerper during peak danger hours: prioritize avoiding 03:00–04:00 UTC (highest risk). Evening transits (~20:00 UTC) carry elevated, but lower, risk.
- If transit is unavoidable:
- Use alternate routes that bypass Gerper; reroute rather than take chances.
- Travel in numbers: move high‑value ships with a combat‑ready escort force rather than solo.
- Maximize mobility and escape options on fittings (short align/warp times, covert options where applicable). Avoid long, slow warp/cyno windows.
- Prefer smaller, fast‑align ships for scouting and freighting; do not carry large cargo in Orca/ICC hulls through Gerper at the observed times.
- Cruisers and combat vessels should still exercise caution — T3C pilots will engage conventional combat ships when advantageous. Avoid lone cruiser fleets at night without backup.
- If operating locally, assume aggressors may be cloaked or using electronic warfare; maintain awareness of tackle and neuting threats.
Operational Notes
- The aggression detected is not opportunistic chaos — it is organized, professional hunting using high‑end fits. Expect deliberate target selection of valuable/slow ships.
- Low‑security status of Gerper amplifies risk; CONCORD response does not prevent criminal gangs from operating here.
EIN will continue to monitor activity patterns in Gerper and the Everyshore region. This advisory is based solely on the events and actor profiles from 2025-11-07 → 2025-11-09.
