Alachene – 2025-09-26
EIN-Advisory: Alachene — High-Risk Low-Sec System, Industrial Pilots Beware
Date: [Current Date]
System: Alachene (Everyshore) — Security 0.4
Summary
- Killboard patterns show Alachene is actively hunted. Predators focus on mining barges and small combat frigates, with repeated actors exploiting predictable daily windows.
- Threat level: HIGH. Unescorted industrials and lightly fitted frigates are at greatest risk.
Observed Threat Profiles (based on recent kills)
- Hunter Dredd — Loki / Orthrus: persistent industrial hunter; active early-morning (06:00–08:00 UTC) and late-evening (~22:00 UTC). Prioritizes Ventures, Procurers, Retrievers and small frigates.
- Michel Ferran — Proteus / Sleipnir: opportunistic T3 cruiser pilot on evening ops (~19:00–21:00 UTC); engages both industrials and combat ships.
- Dejan Estemaire — Tristan: effective small-ship hunter; has followed through to destroy capsule after ship kill.
- Kokoliro — Stiletto: fast interceptor tackler; notable for follow-up capsule kills and evening activity.
- DimanLin — Tempest: heavy damage output against combat ships (single high-value engagements observed around ~21:00 UTC).
- GodsSoldier Aideron — Cenotaph: presence implies organized gang support capable of taking down battleships.
Peak Activity Windows (UTC)
- Daily evening peak: ~16:00–23:00 (highest risk)
- Early-morning spike: ~06:00–08:00
- Activity is steady across weekdays; notable concentrations on recent Tuesday and Thursday.
Tactical Recommendations (rooted in observed patterns)
- Avoid: Do not run solo mining or hauling ops in Alachene during 16:00–23:00 UTC or 06:00–08:00 UTC. These windows coincide with most kills.
- Escort & Scouts: If you must operate, run with a combat-capable escort and a fast scout/interceptor. Recorded behavior includes fast tackle and coordinated follow-ups.
- Ship choice: Avoid vulnerable barges/frigates without backup. Consider higher-tank industrial alternatives or operate with fleet support.
- Travel caution: Be wary at gates and common celestial points and anomalies during peak times — ambushes/gate-camps are likely.
- Capsule risk: Attackers have chased pods; plan for escape options (cloaks/aligning/fast logistics) and avoid carrying high-value implants in low-sec runs.
- Intel hygiene: Use local d-scan and long-range scanning before undocking/entering belts. Assume persistent watchers and predictable timers.
- Timing: Shift operations to off-peak hours where feasible or use alternate, lower-risk routes/systems.
Final Note
Alachene’s pattern shows both lone industrial hunters and small coordinated groups. Exercise caution consistent with a high-risk low-sec environment: avoid predictable routines, travel with support, and limit exposure during the identified peak windows.
