EIN-Advisory: High-Risk Ganking Activity in Alachene — Industrial & Hauler Targets (Nov 8–13, 2025)

Date: 2025-11-14
Source: Everyshore Intel Network — System Analysis (Alachene)

Summary

• Alachene is currently experiencing sustained, professional ganking activity focused almost exclusively on miners and logistics/hauling industrials. Threat to these groups is Severe (4.0+).
• Two high-profile aggressors are responsible for the majority of strikes: Hunter Dredd (744537204) and xINDiEE (2000120311). They operate fast, high-damage hulls (Orthrus, Loki, Nergal, Nemesis) and demonstrate rapid warp-in/strike tactics.
• The system should be treated as high-risk for Ventures, Retrievers, Endurance, Nereus and similar slow or lightly-fit industrial hulls.

Threat Actors (documented)

• Hunter Dredd (744537204) — documented fittings/hulls used: Loki (Strategic Cruiser), Orthrus (Cruiser); acted solo and in short-coordinated teams (example: with reno ley).
• xINDiEE (2000120311) — documented hulls used: Nergal (Assault Frigate), Orthrus; consistent targeting of defenseless miners and haulers.
• Noted secondary use: Nemesis (Stealth Bomber) in at least one tandem strike (supported a fast-cruiser tackle/damage profile).

Tactics Observed

• Fast warp-in, short engagement window; emphasis on missile/cruiser alpha and tackle to prevent escape.
• Targets are scanned and struck quickly — slow lock/align targets (Retriever, Endurance, Nereus) are routinely killed before effective response.
• Temporal pattern concentrates on European/African prime and North American afternoons/evenings; highest cluster on Sunday afternoons/evenings UTC.

Chronology (selected high-risk events)

• 2025-11-11 16:33 UTC — Hunter Dredd destroyed a Retriever (Real_Threat 4.5); follow-up capsule kill confirmed professional intent.
• 2025-11-10 18:55 UTC — xINDiEE destroyed a Nereus (Real_Threat 4.2).
• 2025-11-13 08:49 UTC — Hunter Dredd + reno ley destroyed an Endurance with Orthrus + Nemesis support (Real_Threat 4.0).
• Additional Venture losses recorded 2025-11-08 and 2025-11-10.

Highest-Risk Targets

• Mining frigates and barges: Venture, Retriever (most frequently struck).
• Expedition/ore-carrying frigates: Endurance.
• Light logistics/hauling ships: Nereus and similar single-crew freighters during lone transits.

Recommended Actions (rooted in observed data)

• Industrial/Mining Pilots

  • Immediately suspend solo mining in Alachene while this activity persists. The documented Orthrus/Loki/Nergal profiles make slow, high-value hulls easy targets.
  • If operations are unavoidable: use hardened, combat-capable fits and operate with dedicated escort(s) capable of rapid tackle removal or alpha deterrence. Do not assume short align/warp windows will be sufficient.
  • Avoid belt or field mining that exposes slow alignment or long lock times. Consider shifting to POS/structure-based or fleet-mining operations in safer systems.
  • Schedule operations outside the documented peak windows (late afternoon–evening UTC, especially Sundays) — note attackers concentrate on those times.

• Haulers / Logistics

  • Avoid single-run, unescorted transit in Nereus or comparable hulls through Alachene. The Orthrus has proven capable of killing these ships quickly.
  • Use convoying/escorts or alternative routes/scheduling to bypass Alachene when possible.

• Local Militia/Counter-Ganking

  • Hunters 'Hunter Dredd' (744537204) and 'xINDiEE' (2000120311) are the primary offenders in the current sample and warrant prioritized counter-effort if a defensive operation is organized. Their hull choices suggest tactics and fittings that defenders can plan against (fast-cruiser alpha + short-duration brawlers).

• General Traffic

  • Treat Alachene as a high-risk low-sec transit while this pattern continues. Fast-strike cruisers and strategic cruisers present a credible threat even to non-industrial pilots carrying valuable cargo.
  • Adopt rapid-alignment habits: bookmarks for instant warp-off, pre-aligned warp-in vectors, and caution when cargo window or ship scanner reveals limited threat but real-world behavior shows professional gankers will strike defenseless targets.

Closing
Alachene is operating under sustained predatory pressure targeting miners and light haulers. Attackers are professional and well-equipped for short, lethal engagements; the safest immediate course for vulnerable pilots is avoidance of solo industrial activity in-system until the pattern abates or defensive measures are in place.

Everyshore Intel Network will continue to monitor for changes in actor behavior and activity tempo.
