EIN-Advisory — Alachene: High-Risk Resource Hunting and Coordinated Cloak/Gank Cells

Summary

  • System: Alachene (Low-Sec, Everyshore)
  • Overall risk: 4.0 — Highly Dangerous (per analyst killmail data)
  • Primary threat: Organized small cells specializing in cloaked scouting, high-burst damage, Strategic Cruisers and Marauders; consistent targeting of miners, haulers and soft industrials.
  • High-risk windows (UTC): late evening/night 21:00–01:00 and daytime 12:00–18:00. Highest activity on Friday (extended windows), with repeated activity Wednesday, Friday and Saturday.

Named recurring threat actors (most active)

  • Dejan Estemaire — versatile operator (Loki, Vargur, Tornado, Astero, Lachesis). Identified as primary threat; uses covert scouting + heavy hitters.
  • Hunter Dredd — multi-Loki participant, recurring Strategic Cruiser cell member.
  • GodsSoldier Aideron — fast HAC/covert destroyer hunter (Vagabond, Tholos).
  • reno ley, John Shepard21 — Loki cell pilots tied to large fleet kills (Praxis).
  • Junebug Khagah — stealth bomber (Hound) strike capability.

What to expect

  • Targets: Mining Barges (Retriever, Procurer), Ventures, Expedition Frigates (Astero/Heron), haulers (Iteron V, Tayra, Endurance), and deployed MTUs.
  • Tactics: Cloaked scouts (Astero, Tholos), D-scan-evading reconnaissance (Lachesis per analysis), followed by Loki-centered strike squadrons and occasional Marauder escalation (Vargur). Stealth bombers employed for small/fragile targets.
  • Behavior: High coordination; attacks are frequently multi-pilot fleet operations rather than opportunistic solo ganks.

Immediate Advisory (for pilots operating in/through Alachene)

  • Avoid solo mining or hauling during identified high-risk windows (esp. Friday evenings and late-night UTC). If possible, schedule industrial ops outside 21:00–01:00 and the 12:00–18:00 daytime window.
  • Do NOT leave Mobile Tractor Units (MTUs) deployed unattended. Analysis shows MTUs are high-value, low-risk targets (Vargur kill recorded).
  • Prefer small-group operations with dedicated support: at minimum two ships — one industrial and one fast-response support (interceptor/fast tackle or remote rep cruiser).

Operational precautions (miners, haulers, small corps)

  • Move soft industrials off-grid or out of Alachene when not actively needed. Consider staging hauling runs during low-activity hours for your timezone.
  • Mine in numbers: multiple retrievers/ventures with one or more logistic ships (remote reps) reduces the chance of clean ganks. Do not assume a lone Procurer will deter a coordinated Loki cell.
  • Keep hauler fits conservative and alignable: fit for fast align times and safe docking rather than maximal cargo. Use jump freighters or low-profile routes only with adequate escort.
  • Avoid prolonged anchoring of MTUs. If you must use an MTU, ensure immediate on-grid protection or rapid recall capability.

Tactical recommendations (for defenders and response teams)

  • Expect the enemy to use cloak/covert recon. Scouts in cloaky frigates (Astero/Tholos) and recon cruisers (Lachesis) are reported — assume D-scan may not reveal pre-warp scouts.
  • Field logistics: small remote-rep cruisers can blunt Loki/HAC damage bursts if on-station quickly. However, Loki fleets can escalate — do not engage without sufficient backup.
  • Prioritize interdiction and tackle capable ships that can prevent Loki disengage. If attempting interdiction, account for possibilities of counter-ESM/ECM and recon support.
  • If planning to disrupt attacker staging, expect escalation to Marauder (Vargur) class: do not engage solo against unknown fleet compositions.

Media / Narrative guidance (for agency reporting)

  • Framing: “Alachene Resource Purge” or “Strategic Cruisers Dominate Everyshore” — emphasize systematic targeting of miners/haulers and use of Marauders for intimidation and escalation.
  • Highlight named actors Dejan Estemaire and Hunter Dredd as recurring high-impact threats, and note the use of Lachesis/Astero/Tholos for cloaked scouting and ambush setup.

Closing note

  • Alachene is a consistently patrolled and actively hunted low-sec system. Industrial and logistic activities within system borders should assume advanced scouting and coordinated multi-ship strike capability against soft targets. Adjust operations and timings accordingly to minimize losses.

Recent Advisories

Alachene – 2025-11-18

TL 3

Alachene in the Everyshore region remains a high-risk low-sec system dominated by a persistent, high-skill ganking cell led by Hunter Dredd. The thread notes rapid, high-alpha strikes with Loki/Orthrus and cloaky support, targeting miners, haulers, and explorers, with Reno Ley and Dejan Estemaire observed as accomplices.

Alachene – 2025-11-17

TL 3

Alachene is an active hunting ground with Local Threat Level 4.0 (High Danger), where a small, coordinated predator group targets industrial and exploration hulls. The primary threat pilots—Hunter Dredd, xINDiEE, and Dejan Estemaire—lead most kills using Loki/Proteus and Orthrus assets, with cyno-enabled escalation indicating heavier ambushes.

Alachene – 2025-11-16

TL 3

Alachene in the Everyshore region is a high-risk low-sec environment with persistent opportunistic piracy targeting industrial and light logistics ships. The primary predators, Hunter Dredd and xINDiEE, account for most kills and employ fast, high-damage cruisers and stealth platforms to disrupt mining and hauling.

Alachene – 2025-11-15

TL 3.1

Alachene is under a professional hunter campaign targeting industrial traffic (miners and haulers) with a Local Threat Level of 4.0—dangerous for unprepared pilots. Three recurring hunters—Hunter Dredd, xINDiEE, and reno ley—use Loki, Orthrus, Nemesis and Nergal with predictable daily windows, driving up risk especially during 08:00–19:00 UTC.

Alachene – 2025-11-14

TL 3.1

Alachene in the Everyshore region (Low-Sec) is experiencing sustained predatory activity centered on unescorted industrial traffic, with Hunter Dredd and xINDiEE accounting for most recent attacks and a Nemesis stealth bomber observed in support. Predicted windows show elevated risk in the morning (08:00–10:00 UTC) and afternoon/evening (16:00–19:00 UTC) with Monday–Tuesday peak, necessitating escorts and cautious routing for Ventures, Retrievers, Nereus, and Endurance.

Alachene – 2025-11-13

TL 3.1

Alachene is under sustained, professional ganking pressure focused on miners and light industrials, with a threat level described as Severe. Two high-profile aggressors, Hunter Dredd and xINDiEE, wield fast, high-damage hulls (Loki, Orthrus, Nergal) and have used Nemesis support in tandem strikes to maximize target kill rate.

Alachene – 2025-11-12

TL 3.1

Alachene is experiencing concentrated predatory activity centered on two pilots, Hunter Dredd and xINDiEE, targeting mining and hauling traffic with high-damage ships. The calculated system thread level is 3.7/5.0 (High), with Mondays and Tuesdays 16:00–19:00 UTC identified as the highest-risk window.
