Alachene – 2025-09-23
EIN-Advisory: Alachene — Low‑Sec Hotspot; Jackdaw Duo and Heavy Hitters Active
Date: 2025-09-24
Region: Everyshore — Alachene (Low‑Security)
Executive Summary
Alachene is an actively contested low‑sec system with two predictable threat windows and repeat offenders. Expect a high tempo of small‑gang and solo heavy‑ship aggression, and frequent capsule kills — aggressors are routinely finishing victims completely.
Activity Windows (UTC)
- Evening peak (primary): 18:00–22:00 — strongest on Tuesdays and Saturdays. Highest diversity of aggressors and heaviest activity.
- Morning spike (secondary): 06:00–07:00 — concentrated on Wednesdays; likely different TZ roams.
- Overall: aggression is distributed outside peaks as well; vigilance recommended at all hours.
Observed Tactics & Targets
- Small‑gang Jackdaw pairings (fast, coordinated strikes) and solo battleship ganks are common.
- High incidence of capsule kills after ship destruction — low tolerance for victims escaping.
- Targets include cruisers and industrials (Venture, Retriever), indicating industrial ops are at risk.
Named Persistent Threats
- CasperLouise & CHA0S1298 — Jackdaw duo. Active Wed mornings (06:00–07:00). Threat: HIGH.
- Eccho Ellecon — Kronos marauder. Active Tue evenings (~19:00–20:00). Heavy solo firepower. Threat: HIGH.
- Michel Ferran — Proteus / Sleipnir. Active Tue & Sat evenings (19:00–22:00). Versatile T2 pilot. Threat: HIGH.
- Hunter Dredd — Loki. Thu late morning solo hunter. Threat: MODERATE‑HIGH.
- DimanLin — Tempest. Sat evening capable battleship pilot. Threat: MODERATE‑HIGH.
Operational Advisories (rooted in observed behavior)
- Avoid running high‑value solo industrial ops (Retriever, Venture) during evening peak hours; these are specifically targeted.
- Exercise extra caution Wednesday 06:00–07:00 UTC and Tue/Sat 18:00–22:00 UTC. If operations are essential, schedule outside these windows.
- Expect small, fast, coordinated Jackdaw teams and heavy singular marauder/battleship threats — align, scout, and screen for tackle before committing.
- Pod loss is frequent after ship kills; plan logistics and valuables accordingly.
Bottom Line
Alachene functions as a low‑sec gauntlet: coordinated small gangs and heavy solo pilots operate predictably in clear time windows. Adjust ops and fleet composition to avoid peak periods or bring appropriate escorts and scouting to mitigate the demonstrated threats.
