EIN Monthly Intelligence Report: Elarel - September 2025

Overview

Elarel maintained a significantly high threat profile throughout September 2025, with an average threat level of 3.73 (High Risk). Activity was sustained daily, driven by a dedicated group of capable pilots specializing in targeted predation against poorly escorted or solo industrial operations. Coordinated small-gang tactics were a frequent hazard, especially during peak operational windows. Capsule kills were repeatedly reported after ship destruction, indicating dedicated hunting.

Noteworthy Aggressors and Victims

Top Killers (Max 8)

1. Cailin Dioltas: The system's most persistent solo predator, primarily using Loki and Maulus Navy Issue. Specialized in targeting Ventures and industrial ships.
2. Dejan Estemaire: Key figure in coordinated gangs, often piloting Vexor Navy Issue, supported by Lokis and occasionally a Sleipnir. Effective against combat ships.
3. Amanda Morgan: Central coordinator of a lethal T3 cruiser duo/gang, specializing in the Loki fitted for sustained engagements.
4. Peter Powers: Skilled T3 pilot in Tengu or Cenotaph, capable of high-impact sporadic strikes, including against high-value targets.
5. Vipy Styx: Provided heavy DPS in fleet actions, utilizing Machariel or Barghest to ensure high-value target takedowns.
6. DimanLin: Aggressive solo pilot using the Tempest (battleship/battlecruiser) for brawling engagements.
7. Aladar Krahn: Diverse threat, operating both Loki/Orthrus and the heavy-hitting Marauder (Tholos), often targeting miners.
8. Vicky Shadow: Consistent partner to Amanda Morgan, coordinating gang actions from a Loki platform.

Notable Victims (Max 3 Types)

1. Ventures/Procurers/Endurances: Mining ships were the primary victims, repeatedly hunted by solo and small-gang operators.
2. Capsules (Pods): Frequently targeted and destroyed after the initial ship kill, indicating aggressive and persistent hunting behavior.
3. Industrial Haulers (e.g., Iteron Mk V): Slow-moving haulers were interdicted and destroyed, particularly by the Gnosis/Tholos/Tempest operators.

Noteworthy Group Coordination

A significant feature of the month was the coordination among established threat actors:

• Amanda Morgan & Vicky Shadow: Operated as a highly efficient Loki duo, skilled at ambushes and decisive engagements against subcapitals.
• Dejan Estemaire's Gang: Coordinated attacks often involving Dejan's Vexor Navy Issue supported by Loki/Sleipnir for tackling and DPS.
• Elarel T3 Cruiser Gang: A potent combination including Amanda Morgan, Aladar Krahn, Kayla Starchild, and Vipy Styx, utilizing T3 cruisers (Loki/Tengu) and high-alpha ships (Barghest/Tholos).
• Serqet Daphiti & Dejan Estemaire: Operated a coordinated cruiser/recon pair (Zealot + Lachesis) capable of tackling larger targets, including battleships.

Summary of History

September 2025 in Elarel was defined by sustained, elevated predation. Threat levels consistently remained high, driven by the presence of dedicated, high-skill hunters. The operational tempo peaked during the UTC afternoon and evening windows (especially 15:00–23:00 UTC), with secondary peaks in the UTC morning (for solo industrial hunting). Key trends included the repeated targeting of industrial and mining platforms, the dedicated destruction of capsules, and the widespread use of Strategic Cruisers (Loki, Tengu, Proteus) for stealth, mobility, and high effectiveness in small-gang settings. The system featured both highly persistent solo hunters (like Cailin Dioltas) and well-organized teams capable of taking down larger, well-tanked combat ships. The increasing severity late in the month led to a temporary 'CODE RED' assessment.

Typical Ships Used

• Killers: Strategic Cruisers (Loki, Tengu, Proteus), Heavy Assault Cruisers (Vexor Navy Issue, Cerberus, Zealot), Battlecruisers (Tempest, Sleipnir, Orthrus), Battleships (Machariel, Barghest), Marauders (Tholos).
• Victims: Mining Barges (Venture, Procurer), Industrial/Haulers (Iteron Mk V), Frigates/Destroyers, and occasional Cruisers (Ishtar, Stratios, Cynabal).

Trends

• Industrial Targeting: Extreme focus on miners and industrials; few were able to operate unescorted during peak times.
• T3 Cruiser Dominance: Strategic Cruisers (Loki, Tengu) served as the backbone of both solo hunting and small-gang coordination due to versatility and cloaking ability.
• Coordination: Hostiles consistently demonstrated the ability to coordinate two to five pilots for rapid takedowns against diverse targets, significantly increasing the survivability risk for smaller fleets.
• Persistence: Attacker profiles, notably Cailin Dioltas and Aladar Krahn, frequently targeted the same pilots or specific ship classes, indicating deliberate, patient hunting.

Notable Kills (Representative Examples)

1. Destruction of a high-value Ishtar by the Elarel T3 Cruiser Gang (Loki/Tengu/Barghest composition).
2. Repeatedly observed kills of industrial haulers (Iteron Mk V / Endurance) by solo or duo attackers (e.g., Miner McBride's Gnosis or Michel Ferran's Proteus).
3. A large cruiser/battlecruiser (Cynabal / Rokh) eliminated by the Serqet Daphiti & Dejan Estemaire Lachesis + Zealot duo, demonstrating coordinated electronic warfare and DPS application.
4. Solo kills of multiple Ventures and resulting Capsules by Cailin Dioltas (Loki) during early UTC hours.
5. A high-impact strike against a target using a Rokh/Battleship by a Machariel-led fleet (Vipy Styx), highlighting the escalation capability of the gangs.
