Observed patterns
- Temporal concentration: concentrated hunting during 12:00–21:30 UTC with isolated incidents outside that window.
- Target profile: opportunistic — industrial ships (Nereus, Retriever, Epithal, Venture), combat ships, and even mobile structures.
- Engagement doctrine: coordinated multi-ship engagements using recon/strategic cruisers and interdictors to tackle and finish targets.
Tactical recommendations
- Avoid transiting Alachene between 12:00–21:30 UTC when possible, and be especially wary on Sundays.
- Move with scouts or fleet escorts; lone industrials and unescorted ships are primary targets.
- Do not carry high-value cargo through Alachene unescorted; consider alternative routes or timing.
- If the names above appear in local, assume hostile intent and prepare immediate defensive/evasive actions.
- Fit for mobility and survival (point/warp disruptor awareness, align+bookmark readiness, insta-warp fits, and fast reps where applicable).
This advisory is based on recent killboard activity and observed engagement patterns in October 2025. Stay cautious in low-sec transit and plan operations around the stated high-risk windows.
