Alachene – 2025-09-25
EIN Advisory — Alachene: High Risk for Miners; Scheduled Hunters Active
Threat Level: High (Industrial) / Moderate (Combat) — Low-Sec: Everyshore
Summary
- Alachene has a concentrated, repeat-offender threat picture. Mining vessels (Ventures, Retriever) are being actively hunted; combat ships are also at risk. Attacks cluster in late UTC evenings and early UTC mornings, especially on Tue–Thu.
Key Adversaries (from available analysis)
- Hunter Dredd (744537204) — Loki: persistent solo hunter; strongly favors mining/low‑value targets. Predictable activity in low‑traffic hours.
- Michel Ferran (2119926377) — Proteus / Sleipnir: versatile and aggressive; will engage both industrial and combat targets; often operates with support.
- Kokoliro (2123267345) — Stiletto: support/tackle and pod-finisher; known to finish capsules after ship kills.
- Others observed intermittently: GodsSoldier Aideron (Cenotaph) and DimanLin (Tempest) — capable of higher-value kills.
Temporal Pattern (operational windows)
- Late evenings: 18:00–22:00 UTC — multiple high-value engagements recorded.
- Early mornings: 06:00–11:48 UTC — repeated Venture hunts (low-activity exploitation).
- Elevated risk days: Tuesday, Wednesday, Thursday (based on recent sequence).
Tactical Recommendations (rooted in observed behavior)
For industrial pilots (primary at-risk group)
- Avoid mining in Alachene during 18:00–22:00 UTC and 06:00–11:48 UTC, especially Tue–Thu.
- Do not operate Ventures solo in belts; use more tanked haulers (e.g., barges/boosted retrievers) or fly with a scout/escort.
- Always align to a bookmark/safe and fit an instant-warp align setup where possible. Keep a bookmarked warp-out point on-grid.
- Use d-scan and keep local active; assume hostile pilots are present even when local is quiet.
- Expect pod-killing: retain a plan to evacuate your pod (cloaks, safes, or scouts).
For combat pilots / roams
- Expect Loki/Proteus/Sleipnir activity. Avoid solo small-frigate combat in known windows unless you have reliable backup.
- If engaging, check for nearby Stiletto/Interceptor support (pod finishing). Prioritize tackling support and capsule safety.
- Use tackle control, ECM/point redundancy, and be ready for aggressive follow-up by coordinated pairs.
Operational note
- Attacker behavior is patterned and exploitive (predictable times and ship types). Alter your routines (different times, escorts, higher-survivability fits) to reduce predictability.
EIN assessment: Until the repeated actors either change behavior or are contested, Alachene remains hazardous for industrial operations and attracts opportunistic combat engagements. Prioritize survivability and minimize solo resource runs in the system’s high-risk windows.
