Alachene – 2025-10-24
Threat Level: 3.5 — Elevated hostile activity against industrial and smaller combat hulls. This is a Low‑Sec system; expect limited automatic protection and rapid engagement opportunities for hostile pilots.
Summary
- Miners and pilots in fragile sub‑capital ships (notably Ventures) face a high risk of attack. Solo Ventures are extremely likely to be destroyed; operate only with substantial, coordinated escorts if entering Alachene.
- Recurring activity windows: Sunday 19:00–20:00 UTC; Monday 14:00–16:00 UTC; Friday 14:00–16:00 UTC. Increase vigilance during these times.
Known high‑risk actors (observed patterns)
- xINDiEE — Sleipnir / Tengu. Threat 4.5. Active Sunday evenings (UTC 19:00–20:00). Capable solo and gang operations; primary threat.
- Ma'qeth — Maulus Navy Issue. Threat 3.5. Active Monday ~14:00–15:00 UTC. Small hull, high effectiveness vs. industrials.
- GodsSoldier Aideron — Khizriel. Threat 4.0. Active early Tuesday mornings UTC (local early AM). Hunts small/medium combat ships.
- Hunter Dredd — Loki. Threat 4.0. Active Friday mornings (UTC 10:00–11:00). Versatile strategic cruiser; treat any Loki contact as high risk.
- Dejan Estemaire — Machariel. Threat 3.0. Active Monday ~15:00–16:00 UTC in small gang actions; significant gang contributor.
- Junebug Khagah — Hound. Threat 2.5. Active Monday ~15:00–16:00 UTC in gang roles; cloaky bomber threat to unsuspecting targets.
Practical guidance (grounded in observed intel)
- Mining: Avoid Alachene unless escorted by a prepared combat fleet. Do not mine solo in Ventures.
- Transit: If you must transit, avoid the listed peak windows. Travel in combat‑capable ships or with fleet support; maintain align‑out, suspend long warp‑ins, and use bookmarks for quick escapes.
- Combat awareness: Expect both solo hunters (frigate/attack frigate/HA cruisers) and coordinated gang attacks including cloaky bombers. Be prepared for alpha‑strike or coordinated bracketed engagements.
- Fleet ops: Coordinate simple anti‑ambush procedures (scouts on D‑scan/approach, pre‑burn plans, tackle denial) and restrict high‑value cargo movement to low‑risk times and routes.
This advisory is based on the provided analyst briefing for Alachene. Exercise heightened caution and assume aggressive, skilled pilots operate in the system during the windows noted above.
