Monthly Intelligence Report: Alachene (October 2025)

Overview

The Alachene system in the Everyshore region was characterized during October 2025 by high-skill, organized predatory behavior, resulting in an estimated average threat level of 3.48. Hostile activity centered around small, coordinated gangs employing expensive T3 Strategic Cruisers, high-alpha battlecruisers, and specialized tackle/EWAR frigates. Industrial ships, especially Venture miners, were the primary targets, often resulting in ship and capsule losses.

Notable Killers and Victims

Most Noteworthy Killers (8 Max):

1. Dejan Estemaire (2113053476): The most dangerous and frequent aggressor, using a variety of hulls including Tornado, Cynabal, Ferox Navy Issue, Proteus, Lachesis, and Vargur.
2. Hunter Dredd (744537204): Consistent threat, specializing in Loki and Orthrus; often operates in coordinated packs, particularly targeting industrial and small combat ships.
3. xINDiEE (2000120311): High-threat pilot using Sleipnir and Tengu for swift, lethal strikes against lone industrials.
4. Ma'qeth (328910152): Specialized in using cloaked hulls (Widow, Nemesis) and E-War frigates (Maulus Navy Issue/Sentinel) for ambushes and coordinated strikes.
5. GodsSoldier Aideron (90640611): High-alpha threat using Khizriel and Tholos.
6. Michel Ferran (2119926377): Proteus pilot, typically operating as a high-impact solo or small-gang hunter.
7. Tefkros (735288141): Leader in fast, Orthrus-led small gangs, delivering quick focused damage.
8. Serqet Daphiti (2114753225): Fast tackle/utility frigates (Malediction, Retribution), often supporting Dejan Estemaire's operations.

Most Noteworthy Victims (3 Max):

1. Industrial Pilots (Jones hank, Alemanha Pereira, SrPinguX): Loss of multiple industrial ships (Retriever, Venture, Epithal, Nereus) highlights the primary target profile.
2. Vulnerable Cruisers/Battleships: Notable losses of high-value targets including a Dominix and Praxis, indicating the attackers' capability to escalate to fleet action.
3. Capsuleers: Repeated reports of aggressive capsule destruction (pod kills) by pilots such as Dejan Estemaire, highlighting a "no mercy" approach.

Noteworthy Groups Working Together

Hostilities were dominated by persistent associations between the top predators, often referred to as the "DREDD & ESTEMAIRE Wolfpack" or the "Orthrus Trio".

• Dejan Estemaire, Hunter Dredd, and reno ley consistently operated together, often fielding multiple Lokis, high-alpha Battlecruisers (Tornado), and Strategic Cruisers (Proteus/Gnosis) to secure kills.
• xINDiEE, Ma'qeth, and KiaOra Bro were frequently observed collaborating on higher-value ganks, utilizing Stealth Bombers, EW, and T3/Faction Cruisers for ambush and focused DPS.
• The Orthrus Swarm (including Tefkros and Ma'qeth in Orthrus fits) specialized in fast, high-alpha strikes often resulting in quick ship and capsule elimination.

Summary of the History of the Month

October in Alachene was defined by escalating threat sophistication. Initially, the threat was characterized by solo T3 hunters (Loki/Proteus) targeting fragile industrials. As the month progressed, these individual actors began coordinating into persistent small gangs, particularly noticeable around Wednesdays (21:00 UTC) and the weekend midday/evening windows. Attackers introduced more specialized hulls (Vargur Marauders, Black Ops Battleships, dedicated E-War frigates) and focused on removing mobile industrial infrastructure (MTUs, Mobile Cyno Beacons) in addition to ships. The shift from opportunistic kills to coordinated ambushes and ganks against larger vessels (Dominix, Praxis) demonstrated the organizational maturity and dangerous intent of the local threats.

Most Notable Groups in Conflict

The primary conflict observed was between the small, persistent, coordinated Predator Cells (led by Estemaire/Dredd/xINDiEE) and Solo/Small-Group Industrial, Exploration, and Transit Pilots active in the Everyshore region. No organized resistance or counter-ganking effort was consistently reported against the primary aggressors. The attackers largely operated unopposed, functioning as a united front against all non-associated traffic.

Trends

• Escalating Victim List: Attacks expanded from just Ventures to include high-value battleships (Dominix, Praxis) and support structures (MTUs, Mobile Cyno Beacons), indicating increased confidence and coordination among aggressors.
• High-Alpha Dominance: A strong preference for quick-kill, high-alpha platforms (Tornado, Orthrus, Sleipnir) was observed, minimizing exposure to counter-retaliation.
• Temporal Concentration: Consistent and predictable dangerous windows were established (12:00–15:00 UTC & 19:00–22:00 UTC), especially on weekends, with a notable mid-week spike around Wednesdays (21:00 UTC).
• T3/Covert Ops Reliance: The frequent use of Lokis and Proteuses, often in tandem with Black Ops/Stealth Bombers, signals a professional, prepared approach aimed at cloaked ambush and interdictor denial.

Notable Kills (Max 5)

1. Dominix Destruction (20 Oct): Loss of a high-value battleship, resulting from a coordinated small gang including xINDiEE (Sleipnir), Dejan Estemaire (Machariel), and Junebug Khagah (Hound), highlighting lethal gang escalation.
2. Praxis & MTU Loss (Late Oct): A coordinated fleet action by Dejan Estemaire (Loki, Vargur) and companions removed a Praxis battleship and an anchored Mobile Tractor Unit, demonstrating tactical targeting of high-value assets and infrastructure.
3. Mackinaw Gank (Oct 12): Loss of a high-value mining barge in a coordinated gank involving Hunter Dredd, KiaOra Bro (Proteus), and I Jronny (Tengu), confirming the high risk to sophisticated mining operations.
4. Capsule Kill Streak (Early Oct): Dejan Estemaire demonstrated intense pod-killing behavior using a Dramiel/Tristan, setting a precedent for 'no mercy' engagement.
5. Vexor Navy Issue / Pilgrim Loss (Mid-Oct): Ma'qeth and accompanying Proteus pilots removed valuable combat and covert exploration platforms, confirming that not only industrials, but also lightly-armored combat and covert hulls were actively targeted.
