EIN-Advisory: Gerper — High-Risk Low‑Sec Activity; Weekend Afternoon Gank Pattern (Real Threat 4.0)

Analyst: Everyshore Intel Network
System: Gerper (Low‑Security, Everyshore)
Date: 2025-11-XX

Executive Summary

• Gerper is a High‑Risk Target Area (Real Threat Level 4.0 — Severe Danger). Recent activity shows coordinated hunter teams using Strategic Cruisers (Proteus, Loki) and Navy/Fleet Combat Battlecruisers (Ferox NI, Cyclone FI) specifically preying on soft industrial and exploration hulls.
• Peak danger window: Saturday afternoon (approx. 14:00–16:30 UTC). Secondary incidents observed on Thursday.
• Immediate warning: Do not mine, haul, or run solo exploration in Gerper during the weekend afternoon window. Hunters in multiple T3s/BCs are actively operating in the system.

Observed Incidents (summary)

• 4 kills in 3 days, including: Venture, Retriever, Porpoise (Industrial Command Ship), Astero.
• Attack teams: confirmed 3‑pilot Saturday gank squad and independent T3 solo hunters.
• Recon/tackle support observed (Buzzard + Succubus) on exploration-targeted kills.

Named Threat Actors (top profiles)

• luffy0520 — Proteus (Strategic Cruiser). Persistent, high‑adaptability solo + group ganker. High threat.
• AceskyWing — Ferox Navy Issue. High DPS gank/FC. Participated in Porpoise kill.
• TzTo — Cyclone Fleet Issue. Group DPS support for high‑value ganks.
• Leyla2042 — Loki (Strategic Cruiser). Solo Retriever killer; high solo lethality.
• Ronen Uitra — Succubus (Frigate). Tackler/finisher on exploration kills.
• Yasiin Bey — Buzzard (Covert Ops). Spotter/recon support.

Threat Characteristics (implications)

• Attackers field expensive, flexible platforms (T3s) and high burst DPS BCs — they can quickly overwhelm soft, high‑value industrial targets and outmaneuver standard industrial fits.
• Presence of covert ops and frigate tacklers indicates scouting and tackle chains are in play; fights are rarely accidental and are often pre‑planned.
• Hunters operate in small coordinated squads (3+), but also perform lethal solo actions with T3s.

Advisory — Immediate Actions (rooted in observed patterns)

• Industrial pilots (Venture, Retriever, Porpoise, haulers):
  • Do not operate solo in Gerper during Saturday 14:00–16:30 UTC. If you must be active then, travel in well‑armed groups or with a combat‑ready escort equal to or exceeding the observed squad size.
  • Avoid using Porpoise/other industrial command ships alone in the system. Use Orca/industrial fleet support or fit for rapid align/warp and tank if escort is unavailable.
  • Keep high‑value cargo off grid during peak window; stagger hauls to avoid predictable routines.
• Explorers (Astero/Probe pilots):
  • Use cloaks and recon discipline; avoid extended probing or signature running alone in system at peak times.
  • Expect covert ops and tackle. If engaged by a Succubus + Buzzard setup, disengage immediately unless backed by superior force.
• Transit/General pilots:
  • If transiting Gerper during peak window, keep align times low, bookmarks for instant warp, and be prepared to burn toward a safe or gate. Scan for covert ops bookmarks and use D‑scan regularly.
  • Consider changing transit timing to outside the Saturday afternoon window when possible.
• Combat/Response pilots:
  • Expect adaptable T3s and heavy BCs — bring appropriate electronic warfare and long‑range/precision engagement capability. Do not assume lone T3 = easy kill; these pilots show high sophistication.
  • Scout proactively; small recon teams (Covert Ops + tackle) have been used by the hunting groups.

Operational Mitigations and Fitting Suggestions (general)

• Travel with a scout (covert or fast tackle) to detect incoming hostile fleets early.
• Industrial hulls: prioritize fast align, inertia‑mod, and capacitor/tanked fits that allow quick escape; consider fit warp core stabilizers on haulers where feasible.
• Exploration hulls: favor cloaky exploration fits or combat probes only when an escort is present.
• Use safe spots and have preplanned exit routes/bookmarks; minimize time on grid when not actively operating.

Risk Summary

• System Threat Rating: High/Severe (4.0). Attackers are professional and flexible, exploiting predictable soft target behavior and weekend peak activity.
• If you operate soft industrial or exploration ships in Gerper, treat the system as actively hostile and plan accordingly.

EIN encourages all capsuleers transiting or operating in Gerper to apply the above mitigations and to avoid solo industrial/exploration operations during the identified peak window.
