Elarel – 2025-09-22
EIN-Advisory: Elevated Hostile Activity in Elarel — Industrial Pilots at Risk
System: Elarel (Low-Sec — Everyshore)
Status: ELEVATED THREAT (based on analysis period 2025-09-15 → 2025-09-22)
Summary
- Consistent low‑level hostile activity concentrated on industrial and lightly fitted ships. Peak danger window: 16:00–23:00 UTC (Tue–Fri). Expect both solo hunters and small coordinated groups. Exercise caution.
Top aggressor profiles (operating patterns relevant to Elarel)
- Dejan Estemaire — versatile hunter (Stabber FI / Cynabal / Vexor Navy Issue). Solo and group operations; can escalate quickly.
- Cailin Dioltas — persistent industrial hunter (Maulus Navy / Loki). Repeatedly targeted the same Ventures; morning and late‑evening activity.
- Peter Powers — skilled strategic cruiser user (Tengu). Sporadic but high‑value strikes.
- Amanda Morgan & Vicky Shadow — fleet Loki pilots; typically present during coordinated takedowns.
- DimanLin — Tempest user; capable of solo kills but vulnerable to larger groups.
Observed victim profile
- Retriever, Venture, Procurer, smaller frigates/destroyers, and capsule follow‑ups. Mobile Tractor Unit and haulers have been hit.
Recommended precautions (rooted in observed patterns)
- Avoid solo mining/hauling during 16:00–23:00 UTC Tue–Fri. If you must operate then, use extreme vigilance.
- Do not AFK: many victims are caught unprepared. Keep active monitoring of local and d‑scan.
- Use quick‑escape fittings: align to safe locations, fit warp core stabilizers or afterburners/micro warp drives as appropriate for haulers/industrial ships.
- Consider discreet scouting: send a small, cheap frigate scout ahead before committing miners/haulers into belts or can fields.
- Limit MTU deployment or leave MTUs unsecured; MTUs have been targeted. If deploying one, do so briefly and with escort.
- If engaged, prioritize survival: warp off to station/gate rather than fighting a fleet if you are not combat‑capable.
- Fleets: if operating combat ships, assume presence of allied Lokis — be ready for coordinated engagements and counter‑escalation.
Tactical notes
- Repeated attacks on the same pilot indicate targeted hunting—vary routines and avoid predictable timings/locations.
- Group activity can appear quickly; a single kill may be followed by reinforcements. Don’t assume a lone aggressor.
EIN assessment
- Moderate to high local risk for industrial and inexperienced pilots. Combat‑fit and cautious pilots can operate with reduced risk if they apply the precautions above. Remain vigilant during identified peak periods.
