Alachene – 2025-10-15
Summary
Alachene is exhibiting sustained, organized hunting behavior consistent with low-sec-level threat despite any nominal security classification. Multiple repeat offenders and doctrine-style gangs are active. Transit or operations without proper combat readiness and awareness are high-risk.
Threat Level: 4.0 — Severe Danger
Observed patterns (rooted in analyst data)
- Peak days: Saturday (Oct 12) — pronounced surge (8 kills); smaller activity on Thu (9), Fri (10), and early Sun (13).
- High-risk UTC windows:
- Morning: 08:00–10:00 (Fri, Sat)
- Midday/Afternoon: 12:00–15:00 (Thu, Sat) — Saturday late morning/early afternoon particularly lethal
- Evening: 21:00–22:00 (Sat)
- Early morning: 05:00–06:00 (Sun)
- Targets: broad — industrials (Miasmos, Nereus, Retriever), haulers, cruisers (Caracal Navy Issue), mobile cynos/MTUs and capsules. No ship class is safe.
Top threat profiles (prioritized by frequency/lethality)
- Hunter Dredd — Loki pilot; repeat finisher; highly coordinated (last seen Sat 12 Oct ~12:59–13:03 UTC). High threat.
- Dejan Estemaire — multi-ship operator (Tornado, Gnosis, Proteus, Lachesis); consistent attacker and fleet coordinator (last seen Sat 21:12 UTC). High threat.
- Ma'qeth — Widow/Orthrus; cloaky/strike capability; delivers kills (last seen Sat 11 Oct 12:48 UTC). Med–High threat.
- reno ley — Loki; consistent Dredd/Dejan wingmate; fleet damage/support (last seen Sat 13:03 UTC). Medium threat.
- Azenda Leii — Loki; targets industrials and strategic assets (last seen Sat 15:17 UTC). Medium threat.
- Tefkros — Orthrus; part of fast-strike Orthrus gang, capsule kills recorded (last seen Sat 21:14 UTC). Medium threat.
Operational advice (based on observed tactics)
- Avoid transit through Alachene whenever possible, especially on Saturdays and during listed UTC windows.
- Do not fly predictable, valuable, or unarmed ships (haulers, miners, scouts) through the system.
- If you must transit: travel in combat-fitted ships or with competent escort; use unpredictable routing and align/warp practices; assume scanning and cyno/warp-trap capability present.
- Treat MTUs, mobile cynos, and exposed industrials as high-priority targets for hunters — do not pod/leave assets unattended.
- Expect multi-ship gangs (Loki/Orthrus/Proteus/Tornado) and coordinated alpha-strike or cloaky setups; disengage early rather than attempting salvage or recovery after an initial skirmish.
Closing
Alachene is currently a sustained hunting ground. Exercise extreme caution, alter travel plans where possible, and assume organized adversaries are monitoring common approach vectors and schedules.
