Alachene – 2025-10-31
EIN-Advisory — High-Risk Alert: Alachene (Everyshore) — 2025-10-25 → 2025-10-31
Summary
- Threat Level: 4.5 / 5 — High Threat (sustained, focused campaign).
- Primary danger: single dominant aggressor (Dejan Estemaire) operating solo and with a Loki-heavy supporting group.
- System type: Low-Sec — expect interdiction, tackle and high DPS applied to vulnerable ships (miners, explorers, haulers, MTUs).
Key Intelligence
- Main actor: Dejan Estemaire — responsible for 5 of 7 kills in the last 7 days. Ships used: Loki, Tornado, Lachesis, Vargur. Analyst Code: 5.0 (Guaranteed Death).
- Supporting operators: John Shepard21, reno ley, Hunter Dredd — Loki fleet support (3x Loki reported in a single engagement).
- Secondary solo threat: Michel Ferran (Proteus) — opportunistic roams.
- Notable targets lost recently: Venture, Procurer, Imicus, Arazu, Praxis and an MTU — shows willingness to use expensive hulls to remove low-value targets and to interdict high-value assets.
Danger Windows (UTC)
- Tuesday/Wednesday: 21:00–22:00 — highest coordinated threat (fleet action; Praxis + MTU kills).
- Thursday/Friday: 00:00–01:00 — repeat focused ganking actions.
- Friday / Sunday / other: scattered activity during EU and post-US/early-APAC hours (13:00–14:00, 06:00–07:00, 19:00–20:00). Overall peak coverage spans late-night/early-morning and late-afternoon/evening, affecting both US and EU primetimes.
Tactics Observed
- Heavy Interdictors (Lokis) used to deny warp and isolate targets.
- High-DPS capitalized hulls (Vargur, Tornado) deployed against anchored MTUs and ships attempting to dock/escape.
- Mixed pattern: both opportunistic solo kills and deliberate, coordinated fleet ganks.
Actionable Advisories (rooted in analyst data)
- Avoid vulnerability activities in Alachene during peak windows:
- Do not mine, anchor MTUs, run exploration/d-scan ops, or move valuable cargo 21:00–01:00 UTC (especially Tue/Wed 21:00–22:00 and Thu/Fri 00:00–01:00).
- If transit is necessary:
- Cross-check Local for the names: Dejan Estemaire, John Shepard21, reno ley, Hunter Dredd. If any are present, do not stop in system — log off or warp through immediately using instawarp/waypointing from a safe speed or use a bubble-resistant route.
- Ship selection:
- Do not move expensive hulls, fitted industrials or haulers alone through Alachene during hazard windows.
- Prefer disposable jump-fit toons or heavily tanked, fast-ignoring ships (e.g., interdiction-resistant hulls or expendable haulers). If you must bring value, use cloaked/scout setups and never leave assets like MTUs unguarded.
- MTUs and Salvage:
- Do not deploy MTUs or leave salvageable wrecks unattended. MTUs are actively targeted.
- Fleet Ops & Counter:
- Presence of multiple Lokis implies interdiction and tackle-heavy engagements. Solo pilots and small small-gang hunters should assume they will be trapped if Lokis are present.
- General safety:
- Keep clones out of this system if you rely on high-value ships transiting here frequently. Consider alternate routing even if it lengthens travel.
Quick Transit Checklist
- Check Local for listed names before aligning/warming up.
- Avoid stopping — warp straight through at max align or use a cyno-free safe routing if possible.
- Do not deploy MTUs, or salvage/loot in system during the listed windows.
- If you see Dejan Estemaire in Local at any time: log off or leave system immediately.
Outlook
- Threats are concentrated and persistent around a single capable operator with a small tactical group. Expect continued interdiction and targeted ganking until the aggressor shifts focus. Alachene remains unsafe for vulnerable assets; avoidance during peak hours is the prudent default posture.
Everyshore Intel Network will continue to monitor patterns for significant changes to actor behavior or new primary threats.
