Alachene – 2025-10-07
EIN-Advisory — Alachene (Everyshore) — HIGH Threat
Summary
Alachene (low‑sec) currently poses a high localized threat to miners and industrials. Killmail patterns show persistent, often coordinated predation rather than isolated opportunism. High-risk periods and active multi-ship gangs make unescorted mining/hauling especially hazardous.
High‑risk windows (UTC)
- Primary: Wednesday evenings (~20:00–22:00) — repeatedly active (notably Dejan Estemaire).
- Secondary: Sunday evenings (~18:00–20:00) and Monday evenings (from ~18:00).
- Additional warning: Analyst flagged Tuesday→Wednesday evenings and Saturday evenings as elevated risk; Thursday shows opportunistic activity and early‑morning kills have occurred. Treat most evening periods as unsafe for solo industrial ops.
Top threat actors / profiles (observed)
- Dejan Estemaire — Highly active; versatile ship usage (Tornado, Cynabal, Ferox NI). Predatory, hunts miners/industrials; high real threat.
- I Jronny — Stealth bomber/frigate specialist; effective in ambushes and coordinated strikes (paired with Proteus pilots).
- KiaOra Bro — Heavy hitter (Proteus); typically part of coordinated, high‑damage ops against high‑value targets.
- Serqet Daphiti — Fast tackle/utility frigates (Malediction, Retribution); acts as force multiplier for Estemaire.
- Boruet Annages — ECM specialist (Sentinel); disruptive tactics that neutralize solo targets.
- GodsSoldier Aideron — Heavy assault cruiser (Tholos); opportunistic but capable of heavy direct engagements.
Observed tactics
- Targeting of Ventures, Covetors, Mackinaws, Nereus, and transport hulls.
- Use of alpha‑strike ships, stealth bombers, ECM frigates, and strategic cruisers — adaptable and coordinated attacks.
- Multiple‑pilot engagements are common; expect tackle + heavy DPS combos.
Practical guidance (rooted in observed behavior)
- Avoid mining/hauling in Alachene during listed high‑risk windows.
- Don’t run vulnerable miners/transports solo; operate with combat escorts or postpone operations.
- If you must transit, favor fast, aligned ships or cloaked/scout alternatives; keep safe‑warp and bookmarking discipline.
- Expect ECM and alpha strikes — plan fittings and tactics accordingly (mobility, tackle mitigation, and rapid escape options).
- Prefer high‑awareness operations: stay aligned, have a clear exit plan, and assume coordinated gangs are present.
Bottom line: Alachene is actively hunted. Miners and industrial pilots should treat evenings as hostile territory and alter schedules or bring escorts. Stay conservative when operating in low‑sec Alachene.
