EIN-Advisory: Alachene — High‑Sec System Operating at Low‑Sec Risk (26 Oct 2025)

Analyst: Everyshore Intel Network
Reference: Killmail Data (19–25 Oct 2025)

Executive Summary

• Despite being declared High‑Security, Alachene is currently operating at an elevated predatory level. Two active suicide‑ganking cells (and ancillary opportunists) are consistently targeting resource gatherers and otherwise vulnerable pilots.
• Real Threat Level (RTL) for resource vessels: 4.5 (High Risk of Destruction). Average for other PVE/travel activities: 3.5 (Serious Threat).
• Primary actors identified in the reporting window: xINDiEE (Sleipnir; escalates to small gang) and Ma'qeth (Maulus Navy Issue; precise solo ganker). Notable escalation used small gang assets (Tengu, Machariel, Hound) to eliminate a Dominix on 20 Oct (RTL 5.0).

What to expect (Observed patterns)

• Gank‑fishing: low‑value targets (e.g., Ventures/Vultures) are used as bait to draw higher‑value ships into engagement ranges. If local aggression appears against a Venture, anticipate escalation aimed at any responding or nearby high‑value ship.
• Escalation capability: xINDiEE has demonstrated the ability to call in or coordinate a small gang (notably on the Dominix kill).
• Opportunistic patrols/roams: Loki and Triglavian AF fits were used in other reported kills — expect sporadic, lethal probes outside the main patterns.

High‑risk windows (UTC)

• Sunday evening: 19:00–20:00 — highest concentration and cadence of attacks (xINDiEE cluster).
• Monday midday: 14:00–16:00 — secondary peak (Ma'qeth activity and copycats).
• Lower‑frequency danger remains at all other times; small ship pilots and miners are not safe off‑peak.

Named Threat Actors (as reported)

• xINDiEE — Sleipnir; specializes in Venture ganking, will escalate to small gang when lucrative targets present. High operational tempo during Sunday evening.
• Ma'qeth — Maulus Navy Issue; precise solo ganker active Monday midday.
• Other observed attackers include pilots using Loki and Triglavian assault frigate hulls for opportunistic kills.

Top tactical indicators of imminent danger

• Multiple Ventures in local accompanied by an aggressive HAC/Frigate on grid.
• Anomalous local activity: presence of Hound/Interdictor or named ships reported above (esp. Sleipnir, MNI).
• Small fleet warp‑ins or rapid re‑positioning near belts or anomalies.

Recommended Actions (rooted in reported intel)

• Resource gathering:
  • Avoid mining/ventures in Alachene during the identified high‑risk windows (Sunday 19:00–20:00 UTC, Monday 14:00–16:00 UTC). Risk of destruction during these times is very high.
  • If operations cannot be rescheduled, do not mine alone. Use escorts or operate from safe, aligned positions that allow instant warp off-grid.
  • Consider alternative systems for industrial operations until the threat pattern changes.
• High‑value/isolation‑sensitive ships (cruisers, battleships, haulers):
  • Do not respond to local bait. If engaged or shot at while in a large hull (e.g., Dominix), expect coordinated escalation and immediate heavy damage.
  • Move through Alachene only with scouts/escorts and avoid stopping to engage local contacts.
• Frigates/interceptors:
  • Maintain extreme caution at night/low‑activity hours. Even light solo ships were killed (Merlin kill on 21 Oct).
  • Align and keep warp ready; avoid unsupervised travel through belts and anomalies.
• General:
  • Consider using cheap scout alts or cloaky probes when entering the system. Do not bring assets that are prohibitively expensive for the risk profile.
  • Expect baiting behavior: multiple Ventures or low‑value pilots in local are often a lure. Treat any aggression toward Ventures as an indicator to disengage.
  • Reassess fits for PvE: prioritize quick align, MWD/AB for escape, and point‑defense where appropriate rather than prolonged engagement.

RTL Reference (for mission planning)

• RTL 5.0 — Guaranteed death (e.g., Dominix kill, full gang escalation). Do not enter if mission/ship matches conditions.
• RTL 4.0+ — Sustained organized predation. Avoid or use robust convoy/escort.
• RTL 3.0 — Presence of coordinated gangs or suicide gankers — exercise caution.
• RTL 2.0–1.0 — Lower risk, but Alachene is above these levels during reported windows.

Closing
Alachene currently behaves as a high‑risk corridor despite its High‑Security designation. The combination of focused, repeatable Sunday/Monday windows and demonstrated escalation to small gangs places resource activities and high‑value transit at substantial risk. Adjust operations accordingly and treat the system as hostile during the listed high‑risk times.
