Alachene – 2025-09-30
EIN-Advisory: Alachene — Elevated Risk (3.5)
Date: 2025-09-28 | Region: Everyshore — System: Alachene (Low-Sec)
Summary
- Alachene currently carries an elevated threat (3.5). Three active aggressors — two T3 pilots and an agile frigate hunter — are repeatedly striking industrial and small combat vessels. Attacks are consistent and often result in ship and capsule loss. Non-combat pilots should exercise increased caution, especially during identified peak windows.
Primary Threat Actors (observed)
- Hunter Dredd (ID 744537204) — Loki (T3), Orthrus (HAC). Highest-threat actor; operates throughout the day with peaks late morning and late evening (notable UTC times: 08:34, 10:26, 11:12, 22:42). Likely cloaked, flexible fits; capable of strong pick-offs.
- Dejan Estemaire (ID 2113053476) — Tristan / Dramiel. Frigate hunter with clustered afternoon–early evening activity (peaks ~16:19–19:15 UTC). Effective against unescorted miners and small ships.
- Michel Ferran (ID 2119926377) — Proteus (T3). Single high-impact evening event (~19:09 UTC); Proteus presence indicates heavy-threat potential when active.
- Support role observed: Kokoliro (Stiletto interceptor) operating around 19:09–19:10 UTC — likely tackler for heavier ships.
Notable Victims
- Miners: Retriever (Jones hank) and Venture (Alemanha Pereira) losses show industrial ships are primary targets across early morning and evening UTC windows.
Peak Risk Windows (UTC)
- Early morning: ~06:29 (observed Venture loss)
- Late morning: ~08:30–11:30 (Hunter Dredd activity)
- Afternoon–evening: ~16:00–19:30 (Dejan Estemaire, Michel Ferran, interceptor support)
- Late evening: ~22:30–23:00 (Hunter Dredd)
Tactical Recommendations (rooted in observed patterns)
- Avoid AFK mining or unattended hauling in belts and known uncloaked areas; miners were primary victims.
- If possible, operate with an escort or in numbers during peak windows; small solo industrial/combat ships are high-value targets.
- Fit for survival: consider warp core stabilizers on industrial hulls, a cloak for exploration/mining frigates, or tank/prop fits for small combat ships.
- Maintain constant D-scan discipline and stay aligned to an exit or safe spot when in belts or near gates/stations.
- Treat gates, stations and common belt latitudes as likely cloaking/tackling positions — approach with caution and avoid predictable routines.
- Stagger operations away from the identified peak times if solo or lightly fitted.
Closing
Alachene’s threat picture is driven by repeat, capable pilots rather than mass fleets. Vigilance, conservative fittings, and avoidance of predictable solo activity during the listed peak windows will materially reduce risk.
