Alachene — High-Risk Industrial Hunting (Local Threat Level 4.0) — Nov 10–16, 2025

Date: 2025-11-16
System: Alachene (Everyshore region — low/high-sec border; implied low-sec activity)

Executive Advisory

• Local Threat Level: 4.0 (High Danger). Non-combat ships should exit Alachene immediately or avoid entering until the localized predation subsides.
• Rationale: A small, coordinated group of capable pilots is repeatedly hunting soft industrial and exploration targets using T2/T3 cruisers and specialized fast-attack ships. Attacks are concentrated in predictable daily windows and have produced multiple capsule losses.

What’s happening (intelligence highlights)

• Targets: Primarily industrial and exploration hulls — Venture, Retriever, Nereus, Epithal, Endurance, Imicus — plus isolated capsules.
• Primary threat pilots (most active): Hunter Dredd (Loki / Orthrus), xINDiEE (Orthrus / Nergal), Dejan Estemaire (Oracle / Proteus). These pilots account for the bulk of recorded kills during Nov 10–16.
• Preferred attacker ships: Loki and Proteus (Strategic Cruisers — flexible, often nullified/covert), Orthrus (fast missile cruiser), Nergal (assault frigate), Oracle (attack battlecruiser), Nemesis (stealth bomber). This combination indicates both long-range strike capability and options for covert/ambush initiation.
• Notable tactic: Use of covert/projection-capable ships (Loki/Proteus) and a documented cyno/cynosural beacon event, indicating they can escalate or bring heavier assets when desired.

Temporal pattern — be especially cautious during:

• Peak 1: UTC 16:00–19:00 (noted Nov 10–11) — overlaps EU prime / early NA evening.
• Peak 2: UTC 08:00–14:00 (noted Nov 13, 14, 16) — early EU / working-hours NA window.
• Activity is persistent outside these windows as well; peaks are higher risk.

Operational implications

• This is not opportunistic carelessness by single pilots — data indicates a dedicated hunting group operating in system with repeated success.
• Strategic cruisers (Loki/Proteus) used by predators reduce effectiveness of casual interception; fast missile cruiser Orthrus and assault frigate Nergal give them both reach and tackle/kill capability.
• Presence of stealth bomber and cyno use suggests coordinated multi-ship ambushes are a realistic threat.

Recommended actions (rooted in observed activity)

1. Immediate

   • Do not undock non-combat haulers, mining or exploration ships in Alachene. Exit the system if you are non-combat and can do so safely.
   • Suspend solo anomaly/mining operations, gas harvest, or unescorted hauling through Alachene until threat level drops.

2. If you must transit or operate (higher risk operations)

   • Avoid the listed peak windows (16:00–19:00 UTC and 08:00–14:00 UTC) when possible.
   • Travel with an armed escort (small combat gang) capable of dealing with T2/T3 cruiser threats; lone industrials are primary prey.
   • Use cloaked scouting/alts or scouts to probe before committing; predators have demonstrated ability to catch slow, unprepared targets.
   • For haulers/miners: use fast align fits, warp core stabilizers where practical, and keep a combat-capable ship ready to respond on another pilot if staying is unavoidable.
   • Avoid predictable routes/bookmarked locations that can be camped. Vary approach vectors and use safe bookmarks.

3. Ship-specific cautions

   • Ventures, Retrievers, Epithal, Nereus, Endurance and other non-combat hulls are explicitly targeted — limit their use in Alachene.
   • Strategic cruiser threats (Loki/Proteus) and long-range missile Orthrus reduce effectiveness of some standard escape tactics; assume they can deny simple disengage attempts.

4. Expect escalation capabilities

   • Cyno usage and the presence of Oracle/Proteus implies the hunters can escalate beyond light skirmish ships; do not assume a single attacker only.

Quick checklist before entering Alachene

• Is my ship combat-capable or escorted? If no → do not enter.
• Is planned activity during peak windows? If yes → reschedule.
• Do I have a scout/alt to recon the gates/warp-ins first? If no → consider alternate route.
• Is my fit optimized for fast alignment/warp and survivability? If no → do not risk.

Closing
Alachene currently functions as an active hunting ground for a small, skilled predator group focused on low-risk industrial kills. Non-combat pilots should cease operations or relocate. If operations must continue, adopt convoy/escort tactics, avoid the identified peak windows, and assume coordinated ambush capability.
