EIN-Advisory: Alachene (Everyshore) — Elevated Single-Ship Gank Threat (2025-10-24 → 2025-10-26)

Classification: OPEN
Analyst: Everyshore Intel Network
Date: 2025-10-27

Summary

• Alachene has recorded a steady, low-volume but technically sophisticated ganking pattern across 2025-10-24 → 2025-10-26. Attackers favor high-skill, high-tech single-ship solutions (T3 HACs and high-alpha BCs) rather than large, braindead gank blobs.
• Local Threat Warning: HIGH — non-ganking vessels operating alone (especially Ventures, Imicus, Arazu, and unescorted industrials) should assume hostility.

What the data shows

• Kill count (72h): 4 — low frequency but high sophistication.
• Notable attacker ships: Loki (T3), Proteus (T3), Tornado (BC). Presence of T3s elevates risk from random to targeted/opportunistic.
• Named threat actors observed in recent kills: Hunter Dredd (Loki), Dejan Estemaire (Tornado), Michel Ferran (involved in T3 activity). Treat these pilot identifiers as active local hazards.
• Target profile: small industrial/mining and recon ships — Ventures, Imicus, Arazu — and other soft targets. Two Ventures lost during the window.
• Time windows of elevated activity:
  • Primary: 06:00 Z – 14:00 Z (late-morning/mid-day UTC)
  • Secondary (prime): 19:00 Z – 22:00 Z (evening UTC)
  • Weekend activity is elevated.

Immediate operational advisories (Actionable)

• Industrial operations (mining/veldt/venturing)
  • Do not mine or operate Ventures in Alachene solo. Use an armed escort or relocate to a nearby system with no recent T3 activity.
  • If you must operate, keep ships aligned, bookmark safe spots, and use maximum warp/stability fits available for Ventures.
• Scouts, E-War, and Covert Ops (Arazu, Imicus)
  • Avoid solo deep-space reconnaissance during the stated hostile windows. These support platforms are being actively hunted.
  • If scouting is essential, carry a cloak (if available), maintain instant-warp align, and plan a rapid extraction route.
• Haulers and Blockade Runners
  • AVOID routing Blockade Runners, T1 haulers, or exposed high-value cargo through Alachene during 06:00–14:00 Z and 19:00–22:00 Z. Consider rerouting even outside those windows due to the presence of high-alpha threats.
  • If transit is unavoidable, fly the fastest, most warp-stable option you own and minimize grid time.
• Combat and defensive fittings
  • Non-combat ships should prioritize warp core stabilizers, inertial rigs, extra tank modules where possible, and cargo-fit only when necessary.
  • Do not assume CONCORD arrival will negate one-shot alpha tactics—attackers are using fittings to delete targets before rescue response is effective.
• Movement posture
  • Minimize time spent in local; undock aligned and set a one-grid plan. Consider moving during off-peak regional windows if possible.

Tactical profile of attackers (what to expect)

• High-skill single-ship ganks using T3 cruisers (Loki, Proteus) and high-alpha Battlecruisers (Tornado). These attackers will engage low-signature, low-tank targets and exploit situational awareness to secure kills with minimal collateral.
• Target selection favors industrial/recon ships but is not limited to them — any soft solo pilot is at risk.
• Attackers appear comfortable operating both in midday (regional business hours) and evening prime time.

Projection

• Continued persistence of T3/HAC single-ship ganks is likely while targets remain profitable and isolated. If targets grow more lucrative, attackers may shift to scalable fleets (cheap disposable gankers) or continue current high-cost, high-reliability approaches depending on ISK payoff.
• Expect continued weekend and prime-time concentration.

Closing guidance

• Treat Alachene as hostile for solo and unescorted non-combat vessels until further change in attack patterns is observed.
• Prioritize escorts or alternate routes for mining, hauling, and scouting operations. If remaining, adopt maximum warp/tank fitting and strict movement discipline.
