Alachene – 2025-10-17
EIN Advisory — Alachene: HIGH THREAT (Everyshore, Low‑Sec)
TL;DR: Alachene is currently a high‑risk low‑sec waypoint. Organized PvP groups (notably operators using the names Hunter Dredd and Dejan Estemaire) are active and aggressive. Avoid transits during weekday afternoons (12:00–15:00 UTC) and late weekday evenings (~21:00 UTC). Industrial pilots, MTUs, and pods are highest value targets.
System snapshot
- System: Alachene (Everyshore, Low‑Sec)
- Current overall threat: HIGH (real_thread ~3.5–4.5) — frequent, coordinated attacks using T3 cruisers, Orthrus fleets, Tornados and other high‑alpha platforms.
- Behavior: Persistent, professional groups conducting ganks, follow‑through pod kills, and soft‑target hunting (MTUs, cynos, haulers).
Peak threat windows (observed)
- Weekday afternoons: 12:00–15:00 UTC (most concentrated activity)
- Late weekday evenings: ~21:00 UTC (secondary spike)
- Early weekday mornings: 06:00–08:00 UTC (sporadic activity)
Plan any unavoidable transit outside these windows where possible.
Primary threat profiles (observed indicators)
- Hunter Dredd — Real Thread ~4.5. Frequently final‑blow attacker; commonly in Loki and Orthrus. Part of coordinated packs.
- Dejan Estemaire — Real Thread ~4.0. Uses Tornado, Gnosis, Proteus, Lachesis; often pairs with Hunter Dredd.
- reno ley — Real Thread ~3.5. Loki pilot; operates with the above group.
- Tefkros — Real Thread ~3.5. Orthrus group leader; fast, decisive focus‑fire.
- Azenda Leii & Ma'qeth — Real Thread ~3.0. Loki/Orthrus users, active in daylight windows.
(Names reflect observed aggressors and ship fits; treat them as persistent local threats.)
Specific warnings
- Haulers & industrials (Miasmos, Nereus, Epithal, Retriever, Venture): Extremely vulnerable. Real threat 4.0–5.0 — high likelihood of gank.
- Combat cruisers (Vexor Navy Issue, Caracal Navy Issue): Still actively hunted by coordinated T3s/Orthruses. Real threat 3.5–4.5.
- Mobile structures (MTUs, Mobile Cyno Beacons): Favored soft targets.
- Capsules/pods: Frequent follow‑up kills after ship destruction — treat as highly vulnerable.
Recommended mitigation (if transit is unavoidable)
- Avoid Alachene during the listed peak windows.
- Scout ahead with a cloaked alt or interceptor; do not jump blindly.
- Travel in prepared convoys with combat escorts where possible.
- Prioritize warp speed & alignability over cargo. Fit to survive a short engagement or escape.
- Do NOT AFK after gate jumps or uncloaking; expect immediate aggression.
- Consider using alternative routes through higher‑security systems when cargo/value warrants.
Everyshore pilots transiting Alachene should assume active observation and coordination by local hostile pilots. Proceed with maximum caution.
