Gerper – 2025-11-13
Date: 2025-11-10
System: Gerper (Everyshore, Low-Sec)
Advisory Level: Moderate/Elevated (3.5) — Skilled hunter activity confirmed
Executive Summary
- Between 7–9 Nov 2025 Gerper recorded six capsuleer kills concentrated in two daily windows: Early morning (≈03:00–04:00 UTC) and late evening (≈20:00 UTC).
- Attackers are using high-tier platforms: Strategic Cruisers (Tengu, Loki) and Triglavian Leshaks. Victims included an Orca (industrial command ship), a Dominix battleship, an Enforcer (Force Recon), and a Caracal cruiser.
- The destruction of an Enforcer demonstrates attackers will commit significant firepower against hardened combat targets; do not assume CONCORD-class vessels or combat hulls are safe by default.
- Local threat rating: 3.5 — elevated risk for high-value, slow, or stationary targets; attackers are organized and efficient.
Confirmed Incident Summary
- 2025-11-07 (03:42–03:45 UTC): Dominix + Orca and pilots killed by Cadhla Dioltas (Tengu) & Nhimyk (Loki) in a coordinated burst kill sequence.
- 2025-11-09 (03:20 UTC): Enforcer destroyed by Ronnie Cordova & Blix Tekitsu (both Leshak).
- 2025-11-09 (20:02 UTC): Caracal destroyed by Boruet Annages (Loki).
Immediate Local Warnings
- Avoid large, slow, or stationary high-value operations (Orca mining/hauling, unsupported battleship ratting or static kills) in Gerper during 03:00–04:00 UTC.
- Expect coordinated ambushes that combine warp disruption and high alpha/burst damage. Strategic Cruisers and Leshaks observed operate effectively at both medium and close ranges.
- The 20:00 UTC event shows opportunistic solo/group hunting during evening overlap — maintain vigilance outside the morning window as well.
Top Individual Threats (Observed)
Rank Pilot Ship Class Observed Role / Threat 1 Nhimyk Loki (Strategic Cruiser) Key member of the coordinated Dominix/Orca kill. High burst/finisher capability. 2 Cadhla Dioltas Tengu (Strategic Cruiser) Initiator/coordinator in the multi-kill sequence. High tactical coordination. 3 Ronnie Cordova Leshak (Triglavian Battleship) Participated in high-damage strike against an Enforcer. High firepower brawler. 4 Blix Tekitsu Leshak (Triglavian Battleship) Co-attacker on Enforcer kill. Significant brawling capability. 5 Boruet Annages Loki (Strategic Cruiser) Successful solo/opportunistic cruiser hunter at ~20:00 UTC. 6 Victims (profile) Dominix / Orca / Enforcer / Caracal Demonstrates both industrial and combat targets are vulnerable in current cadence.Tactical Recommendations (Rooted in observed behavior)
For Industrial/Haul Ops (Orca, Freighter, MTU work)
- Do not deploy Orca or other slow industrial assets in Gerper during 03:00–04:00 UTC. If unavoidable, move assets out of system before the time window.
- When operating in-system, keep ships aligned to a safe spot/station undock and cap your exposure time — avoid long-duration stationary operations.
- Use a scout on a fast/stealthy platform and keep scouts out of local broadcast range where possible. If you must operate without a scout, assume increased risk in the flagged windows.
For Combat/Battleship Pilots (Dominix, Enforcer, other slow combat hulls)
- Avoid solo or unsupported ratting/roaming during the morning window. Leshaks and coordinated Strategic Cruisers target hardened ships — fighting without backup is high risk.
- Prefer fitouts that allow quick disengage (propulsion, long-range kiting where applicable) or bring wings for mutual support.
- Consider obfuscation tactics: avoid predictable bookmarks, vary undock and warp patterns, and limit time in known choke points.
For Transit and Gate Activity
- Expect possible warp disruption and alpha-strike setups. Use align-and-warp discipline: be aligned and ready to warp at the first sign of trouble.
- Do not assume gates or station grids are safe zones — reported kills include engagements near expected travel nodes.
- If you suspect a trap, avoid initiating warp to the suspect grid; instead warp to safe celestial or capsuleer-safe points off-grid.
For Roams and Hunters
- The observed attack composition favors strategic cruisers with heavy subsystem fitting and Triglavian brawlers. Use range control and tackle coordination to counter.
- Expect the attacker pairings to operate with high discipline — bring adequate logistics or choose engagement windows outside the attackers’ preferred hours.
Operational Timetable to Note
- High-risk window: ≈03:00–04:00 UTC (primary). Avoid high-value ops in Gerper.
- Secondary risk: ≈20:00 UTC (opportunistic solo/group hunters). Exercise increased situational awareness in the evening overlap.
What This Advisory Does and Does Not Claim
- This advisory reports confirmed kills, ship classes used, times, and named pilots as recorded in intelligence for Gerper on 7–9 Nov 2025.
- It does not assert wider alliance-level involvement beyond those recorded individuals and ships.
Bottom Line
- Gerper is currently an elevated-risk low-sec waypoint for high-value and slow targets. If you operate high-value ships in-system, schedule operations outside the identified windows, employ scouts and align discipline, and avoid solo exposure during 03:00–04:00 UTC and around 20:00 UTC.
Everyshore Intel Network will continue monitoring activity patterns in Gerper. Follow these time- and behavior-specific precautions when planning operations.
