Alachene – 2025-10-12
EIN-Advisory: Alachene — Elevated Threat, Weekend Mornings Especially Risky
Status: Elevated Threat (Low-sec). Capsuleers operating in or transiting Alachene should assume hostile intent and exercise heightened caution.
Summary
- Intelligence indicates persistent, opportunistic ganking and targeted interdictions across multiple days.
- Activity spikes on Saturday mornings/early afternoons (UTC) and during weekday late afternoons/evenings and mornings.
- Targets include mining barges (Mackinaw), industrials (Miasmos), explorers and vulnerable cruisers; aggressors favor high-alpha DPS and interdictors.
Time Windows to Avoid / Beware
- Weekend mornings → notable kills at ~08:03Z and ~12:49Z (Saturday UTC spike).
- Weekday late afternoon/evening → activity around 18:54Z–21:49Z.
- Weekday mornings → incidents at ~08:11Z, 09:47Z, 12:45Z.
Top Threats (ranked)
- Ma'qeth — Extreme. Uses cloaky heavy DPS (Widow/Barghest) + Orthrus interdictor. Highly coordinated ambush tactics.
- GodsSoldier Aideron — Severe. Tholos/heavy DPS platform; effective solo and in group with Ma'qeth.
- Dejan Estemaire — High. Tornado/Cynabal ganker; preys on unprepared industrials and cruisers.
- KiaOra Bro — Moderate-High. Proteus operator; effective in coordinated Mackinaw ganks (partner: I Jronny).

- Hunter Dredd — Moderate. Loki pilot; capable hunter of explorers/small targets.
Practical Advice
- Do not carry irreplaceable value through Alachene on weekends (UTC mornings/early afternoons).
- Avoid solo operations in mining/industrial hulls when possible; travel in fleets/with escorts for high-value cargo.
- Fit for evasion: warp core stabilizers, interdiction nullifiers, covert/directional options where applicable.
- Use instant warp-to-0 bookmarks at stations and gate bookmarks to minimize gate exposure.
- Maintain A-class situational awareness: scan local, D-scan frequently, and be conservative with align/warp routines.
Closing
Treat Alachene as an active hunting ground. The mix of cloaky ambushers, interdictors, and high-alpha gankers makes escape difficult once targeted — plan routes and fittings accordingly.
