Alachene – 2025-10-14
Executive Summary
Alachene (Everyshore) is currently assessed as High Risk (Threat Level 4.0). Hostile activity is concentrated on weekend UTC prime (Sat–Sun, midday/evening) and early Monday UTC morning, with multiple coordinated predator groups actively hunting both combat and industrial targets. Unescorted and lightly fitted ships — including explorers and haulers — are at significant risk.
Observed Patterns (Days / Times)
- Weekend peak: Saturday and Sunday (multiple kills clustered around midday → early evening UTC).
- Early Monday spike: ~05:23 UTC observed.
- Sporadic mid‑week activity: Wednesday/Thursday midday occurrences.
Top Threat Profiles (what to watch for)
- DREDD & ESTEMAIRE Wolfpack — Loki / Proteus / Gnosis gangs. Real_Thread: 4.8 (Extremely Dangerous). Coordinated T3 cruiser gangs; avoid solo engagement.
- ORTHRUS TRIO — Multiple Orthrus with Lachesis tackle. Real_Thread: 4.5 (Highly Dangerous). Fast, high‑alpha tackle + interdiction.
- Ma'qeth — Operates solo or as wingman in Orthrus/Widow. Real_Thread: 4.0 (Dangerous). Versatile killer; can deliver stealth or alpha strikes.
- Azenda Leii & Serqet Daphiti — Loki/Gnosis pair targeting industrials (Retrievers). Real_Thread: 3.5 (Moderate→High).
- Dejan Estemaire (Tornado instances) — High alpha sniper strikes. Real_Thread: 3.0 (Moderate but lethal to light ships).
- Unidentified instant gankers — Sudden, unlogged attacks (fragile frigates/explorers/capsules). Real_Thread: 2.5 (Unpredictable danger).
Tactics Observed
- Coordinated T3 and fast cruiser gangs for tackle + sustained DPS.
- Orthrus packs for rapid punishment and follow‑up capsule kills.
- Opportunistic ganks on explorers/industrial hulls and mobile infrastructure (e.g., Mobile Cyno Beacons).
Practical Recommendations for Low‑Sec Ops in Alachene
- Avoid transit and operations during weekend UTC prime and early Monday UTC if possible.
- Travel in numbers: roam with a combat wing or convoy for hauling; solo movement is high risk.
- Ship choice: if you must enter, favor tanked/fast ships with good align times or cloaks. Don’t move high‑value goods in static, predictable fits.
- Fit & posture: prioritize mobility, warp‑out bookmarks, covert/camo options where available, and an immediate escape plan (alignment, safe bookmarks). Be wary of relying solely on single‑fit alpha resistance.
- Mining/industry: avoid using Mobile Cynos or leaving MTUs unattended; industrials are a marked target.
- Situational awareness: use D‑scan and local situational checks before committing to engagement or docking. Expect fast tackle and alpha strikes.
Named aggressors (from recent observations) have repeatedly engaged in Alachene — treat encounters involving the listed ships/pilots as hostile. Exercise extreme caution; operate with contingency plans and escorts whenever possible.
