Alachene – 2025-10-22
Alachene — Amber Advisory: Organized Hunters Active, Ventures Primary Targets
Date: 2025-10-21
System: Alachene (Low-Sec Everyshore)
Threat Level: Amber (Elevated Risk)
Summary
- Recent killmail analysis shows a concentrated, repeat predatory presence in Alachene. Activity is organized and versatile: attackers field interceptors, cruisers, strategic cruisers, battleships and faction hulls. Industrial and small mining vessels are the primary victims.
Peak Danger Windows
- Afternoon / Evening UTC: 14:00–20:00 UTC — multiple high-threat engagements.
- Early Morning UTC: 03:00–06:00 UTC — fewer pilots in-system but higher opportunistic hunting.
Primary Target Profile
- Ventures (4 of 8 recorded kills) and small industrial ships (Epithal, haulers) are being actively ganked. Larger ships have also been engaged by coordinated gangs.
Notable Threats (Top 6)
- xINDiEE — real_thread 4.5/5.0 — Sleipnir, Tengu. EXTREMELY HIGH THREAT. Avoid.
- Hunter Dredd — 4.0/5.0 — Orthrus, Loki. HIGH THREAT; fast, lethal ganker.
- Eccho Ellecon — 3.5/5.0 — Proteus. MOD-HIGH: strategic cruiser gank capability.
- Ma'qeth — 3.0/5.0 — Maulus Navy Issue. MODERATE: EW/tackle support likely.
- Dejan Estemaire & Junebug Khagah — 2.5/5.0 — Machariel + Hound. MODERATE: gang-capable.
- GodsSoldier Aideron — 2.0/5.0 — Khizriel. LOW-MOD: opportunistic hunter with faction hull.
Operational Guidance (for pilots operating in/through Alachene)
- Avoid Alachene during the listed peak windows if flying Ventures or unarmored industrials.
- Do not AFK mine or AFK fit haulers in low-sec. Assume hostile intent from unknown contacts.
- If transit is unavoidable: travel in smaller, less valuable ships or fully insured haulers; remove high-value cargo when possible.
- Fit for survival: mobility and a clear warp-out plan matter more than raw DPS for vulnerable ships. Consider tank, warp-core stabilizers, and alignable fits where applicable.
- Use scouts or alts for local checks before committing (keep them separated from valuable cargo/ships).
- Expect gangs: encountering one hostile ship can indicate more in-system, including EW/tackle and heavy DPS.
Final Note
Alachene currently hosts persistent, well-equipped hunters. If you must operate here, prioritize escape options, reduce valuables in vulnerable hulls, and avoid predictable patterns during the danger windows. Stay vigilant.
