EIN-Advisory β Elarel: High Alert (Low-Sec)
Threat Level: HIGH β Persistent hunter-killer activity, both solo and small-gang. Miners and unescorted pilots are at elevated risk.
Summary
- Recent kill data shows sustained, often coordinated aggression in Elarel. Attackers repeatedly target Ventures and Capsules but also engage cruisers and strategic cruisers (Loki, Vexor Navy Issue, Legion, Proteus). Expect dedicated hunters and small gangs operating during predictable windows.
Local Warnings
- Consistent predator presence β monitor Local and D-Scan for recurring names; these pilots show intent and persistence.
- Miner beware β Ventures and their capsules are frequent targets. Avoid solo, unattended mining in belts or anoms.
- Prime kill times β late UTC evenings (18:00β23:00) and morning/early afternoon UTC (09:00β17:00). Wednesdays and Fridays spike in activity.
- Small gangs and solo hunters both active. Treat any contact as possibly hostile.
- Do not AFK/unattend ships in-system.
Top Threat Threads (operational highlights)
- Cailin Dioltas β Primary solo hunter. Maulus Navy Issue / Loki; 8 final blows; repeats on the same victims. Active across multiple days (notably Wed/Fri/Monday/Tuesday). High persistence; consider them a constant local danger.
- Dejan Estemaire & associates β Coordinated small-gang, Vexor Navy Issue primary DPS, supported by Lokis and Sleipnir. Multi-ship threat, strong on Wednesday evenings.
- Amanda Morgan & Vicky Shadow β Loki-centric duo; adaptable tacklers/pursuers. Active Wed evenings and Sat afternoons. Amanda often the aggressor/FC.
- DimanLin β Solo Tempest pilot (battlecruiser threat). Aggressive engagements on Saturday afternoons; capable of heavy single-ship damage but can be overwhelmed by numbers.
- Peter Powers β Tengu specialist (covert/strategic flexibility). Targets Ventures and Vexor NIs; active Wed evenings and Fri afternoons.
- Alexis Glavor & Znuts Aurgnet β Legion + Proteus pair. Fewer incidents recorded but high-capability strategic cruisers β treat any contact from them seriously.
Operational Recommendations (Low-Sec caution)
- Assume hostility: be ready to warp/engage; do not loiter in belts or missions unattended.
- Constant D-Scan discipline during transit and operations; scan often during peak windows.
- Use scouts/alt scouts, cloaking, or fleet escorts for mining or high-value transit.
- Fly what you can afford to lose; avoid high-value single-pilot Ventures in Elarel.
- Organize convoys or small fleet-ups when moving assets through system; strength in numbers reduces successful ganks.
- Vary routes and timings to avoid predictable patterns exploited by repeat hunters.
- If detected on D-Scan (multiple signatures, Loki/Tengu/Tempest class), disengage early β many attackers operate with quick tackle/disengage capabilities.
This advisory is based on recent kill pattern analysis for Elarel. Treat the system as hazardous and plan operations accordingly.
