Alachene – 2025-09-24
EIN-Advisory: Alachene System — High Threat (Everyshore, Low‑Sec)
Date: 2025-09-24
Summary
Alachene is currently assessed at HIGH threat. Recent kills show persistent, sometimes coordinated hostile activity against miners, haulers and PvP targets. Capsuleers should assume hostiles are present at all times and exercise extreme caution when transiting or operating in-system.
Activity windows (UTC)
- Main evening danger: ~18:00–22:00 most days — heightened risk on Wednesdays and Fridays.
- Notable peaks: Wed 19:00–19:10, Fri ~21:45–21:48.
- Opportunistic strikes occur outside peaks (observed as early as 06:29 UTC and late morning).
Primary threat actors (names, ship types, observed behavior)
- Eccho Ellecon — Kronos (Marauder): high‑impact brawler; multiple kills. Extremely dangerous.
- Hunter Dredd — Loki (T3 Cruiser): industrial hunter/ambusher; targets Ventures and miners.
- Michel Ferran — Sleipnir / Proteus (Command Ship / T3): adaptable PvPer; operates in aggressive timings.
- Kokoliro — Stiletto (Interceptor): dedicated tackler/support; increases lethality of small gangs.
- DimanLin — Tempest (Battleship): capable of counter‑engaging high‑value PvP ships.
- GodsSoldier Aideron — Cenotaph (Dreadnought): capital‑class strike capability; threat to slow, large targets.
Tactical recommendations (rooted in observed behavior)
- Industrial pilots (miners/haulers): avoid Alachene during evening peaks. If transit is unavoidable, travel in groups, use tanked/fast ships and fit warp core stabilizers or mobile depot exit plans; Loki hunters are actively targeting Ventures.
- PvP/Transit pilots: expect tacklers and brawlers; carry sufficient tank and tackle‑breaking options, align bookmarks, and don’t remain stationary (no AFK).
- Capital exposure: Cenotaph presence elevates risk for slow/large ships and convoys — avoid low‑speed hauling through the system.
- Small gang ops: assume opponents will use dedicated tacklers (Stiletto) and flexible T3 fleets; scout proactively and plan for quick disengage.
- Timing: avoid the identified peaks (esp. Wed evenings, Fri late night UTC); remain vigilant at all hours — opportunists have struck at dawn.
EIN assessment: Alachene is a volatile low‑sec node with both opportunistic hunters and capable PvP pilots. Exercise maximum caution; consider alternate routes or fleeted transits until aggression subsides.
