Alachene – 2025-10-13
EIN Advisory — Alachene: Elevated Threat; Avoid Peak Windows (2025-10-13)
System: Alachene — Region: Everyshore — Threat: 3.5–4.0 (Moderate→High, Escalating)
Summary
- Alachene is currently high-risk for solo and small-group traffic. Multiple small, coordinated gangs using Tech II cruisers, covert/stealth bombers, and fast tackle are active. Mining and industrial operations, covert exploration, and lone cruisers have been primary victims.
Peak Activity Windows (UTC)
- Primary: 08:00–15:00 (sharp spike 12:00–13:00 on Saturdays & Sundays)
- Secondary: 18:00–22:00 (notable Mon & Tue evenings)
- Weekend pattern: Elevated, faster coordination and multiple high-value kills (Saturday most active)
Preferred Targets & Tactics
- Targets: Industrial ships (Ibis, Miasmos, Nereus, Retriever), covert ops/explorers (Cheetah, Heron), and cruisers/bc (CNI, VNI, Harpy, Pilgrim).
- Tactics: Coordinated multi-ship engagements, cloaked bomber approaches (Widow/Manticore present), rapid follow-up attacks, gateway/roaming patrols near common transit points.
Top Active Threats (observed behavior)
- Ma'qeth — Widow/Orthrus — Very high lethality; flexible cloaked + interdiction play.
- Hunter Dredd — Loki — Multiple final blows; operates in Loki groups.
- GodsSoldier Aideron — Tholos — High-threat participation in coordinated strikes.
- Dejan Estemaire — Tornado/Proteus/Gnosis/Lachesis — Versatile, persistent presence.
- Azenda Leii — Loki — Effective against logistics/cynos assets.
- Tefkros — Orthrus — Fast, focused DPS on cruisers.
Operational Advice (Low-Sec context)
- Avoid peak windows where possible — especially weekend midday.
- Scout first — use a cheap, fast alt/ship to clear gates or survey anomalies before moving valuables.
- Harden haulers/miners — use higher EHP fits, warp stabilizers, or more defensible hulls when practical.
- D-Scan constantly while in-system; unknown signatures or sudden fleet contacts often precede attacks.
- Travel with escorts for valuable cargo/mining ops — small armed fleets deter most gangs here.
- Combat pilots: ensure fits are ready for immediate engagement and plan escape warp points.
- If you see named aggressors in local, assume hostile intent and prepare to warp out.
Bottom line
Alachene is an active hunting ground. Expect coordinated, fast strikes from capable pilots — proceed only with preparation, escorts, or outside identified peak hours.
