EIN-Advisory: Alachene — High Predator Activity (Oct 29 – Nov 2, 3025)

Analyst: Everyshore Intel Network
Date: 3 November 3025
System: Alachene (Everyshore) — Low-Sec

Summary

• Alachene is experiencing coordinated predatory operations focused on industrial and opportunistic targets. Local threat level: 4.0 (Dangerous: Active, Specialized Hunter).
• Attackers employ flexible, high-impact platforms (Strategic Cruisers — Loki, and at least one Marauder — Vargur) and complementary support (combat recon / EW). Known actor names observed in activity: Dejan Estemaire, Hunter Dredd, reno ley, John Shepard21, and GodsSoldier Aideron.
• Primary targets observed: mining ships (Procurer, Retriever, Venture), an expedition frigate (Endurance), an MTU, occasional frigate explorers (Heron). One incident included instantaneous pod destruction following a Procurer kill — pods are at risk.

Recent activity window of concern

• Peak hunting windows: EU prime (≈15:00–22:00 UTC) and spillover into US prime (around 00:00 UTC). Friday and Saturday showed the highest density of incidents; a concentrated Saturday midday spike was recorded.
• Attacks are not limited to a single hour — hunters have struck across EU/US timezones and will engage during off-peak hours as well.

Threat profile (observed platforms)

• Loki (Strategic Cruiser): frequent, coordinated, high flexibility and damage — primary threat.
• Vargur (Marauder): seen once but represents maximal sub-capital firepower — escalates lethality.
• Vagabond (HAC) and Tholos (Destroyer): fast strike/harassment roles.
• Lachesis (Combat Recon): EW/force-multiplying role — significant disabling capability.
• Astero (Covert Ops): scouting / covert follow-up.

Immediate advisory (effective now)

• Suspend mining and large-scale industrial ops in Alachene until threat activity subsides.
• If operations must continue: require high-level military escort and comprehensive local surveillance. Solo industrial pilots and small, unescorted ventures are at extreme risk.
• Do not leave MTUs unattended; they have already been exploited/killed in this spike.

Tactical recommendations (for ops that cannot be delayed)

• Group operations: run in numbers with dedicated tackle and logistics. A single capital or veteran predator pair can remove lone industrial hulls quickly.
• Scouts & intelligence: use cloaked scouts and continuous D-scan/overview discipline to detect Loki-class activity and rare Marauder presence. Expect scouts (Astero) and EW assets (Lachesis).
• Escape & align discipline: always have safe bookmarks, align-to-warp habits on undock, and pre-warp bookmarks for every mine/operation site. Combat pilots should fit for quick re-positioning as well as tank.
• Ship choice & fittings:
  • Avoid using fragile ships (unarmored Ventures, Retrievers, Endurance) solo. If forced, use tanked Procurers or fitted barges with decent resists and an on-grid friend.
  • Consider warp-core stabilizers for transit where appropriate, but do not rely on them against coordinated tackle + EW.
  • Fits should prioritize mobility (tanking + prop) or remote logistics; if operating in small groups, have at least one dedicated tackle and one remote repper.
• MTUs and cargo: carry less on single hauls; avoid bringing high-value, irreplaceable cargo through Alachene. Recover or destroy MTUs when enemy presence is suspected.
• Time avoidance: avoid EU prime (15:00–22:00 UTC) on Friday–Saturday if possible. Hunters demonstrated concentrated activity in those windows.
• Pod risk: expect pod kills — do not assume escape is safe after losing a hull. Consider saving clones and insurance levels accordingly.

Known actor behaviors to note

• Dejan Estemaire / Hunter Dredd pair (Loki users) operate quickly and switch to high-end platforms (Vargur) for high-value ops. Their presence indicates both willingness and capability to escalate.
• GodsSoldier Aideron functions as a fast, high-damage harasser (Vagabond/Tholos) and has been active during Friday industrial spikes.

Operational risk summary

• Industrial hulls and unattended MTUs: highest risk — near-guaranteed loss if encountered by these hunters.
• Small transit frigates/explorers: moderate risk, but lower priority for the hunters compared to industrial targets.
• Pods: actively targeted in at least one recorded incident; risk is non-trivial.

EIN Assessment (short)
Alachene is actively hunted and dangerous for industrial activity. Suspend or heavily reinforce operations until a sustained quiet period is observed. If you must operate, adopt group tactics, active scouting, and conservative cargo/MTU practices; avoid peak EU/US prime windows and treat pod recovery as unlikely.
