EIN-Advisory: Elarel — HIGH THREAT (Sep 18–24, 2025)
Summary
- Elarel (low-sec) experienced steady kill activity during 18–24 Sep, averaging ~3 kills/day.
- Peak danger: UTC afternoon ~14:00–20:00 (multiple organized hunter gangs). Secondary peaks: 00:00–02:00 and 07:00–10:00 (persistent lone hunter activity).
- Primary victims: industrials (Ventures, MTUs, haulers) and low‑HP combat ships; strategic cruisers and battleships have also been targeted.
Active Threats (profiled)
- "Dejan Estemaire's Gang" — Vexor Navy Issue + Loki support (+Sleipnir). Active ~18:00–20:00 UTC. HIGH THREAT. Multi-ship coordinated attacks; avoid alone.
- "Amanda Morgan's Loki Duo" (with Vicky Shadow) — two Lokis. Active 14:00–20:00 UTC. HIGH THREAT. Highly lethal tandem.
- "Vipy Styx's Heavy Hitters" — Machariel-led force with Cerberus and multiple Lokis. Active ~17:00 UTC. EXTREME THREAT. Avoid engagement at all costs.
- "Peter Powers" — Cenotaph/Tengu operator. Active 16:00–20:00 UTC. MODERATE threat; high‑DPS solo.
- "DimanLin" — Tempest bruiser. Active ~16:00–17:00 UTC. MODERATE threat; aggressive but vulnerable if focused.
- "Cailin Dioltas" — Lone Loki hunter. Active 00:00–02:00 and 07:00–10:00 UTC. MODERATE–HIGH threat to industrials and small ships; persistent predator.
Tactical Guidance (rooted in observed patterns)
- Avoid Elarel during peak window 14:00–20:00 UTC. Secondary caution windows: 00:00–02:00 and 07:00–10:00 UTC.
- Do NOT run solo industrial operations (mining/MTU deployment/haul) without dedicated escort during active hours. MTUs and lone Ventures are repeatedly targeted.
- If transit is necessary:
- Prefer cloaky/covert options (Blockade Runner / Covert Ops) or fast align ships (interceptors/ships with MWD+insulators) to minimize warp time on gates and cans.
- Keep align times low, bookmark safe spots, use d-scan and local to confirm absence of known profiles before uncloaking or warping.
- If hauling valuable cargo: use covert/stealth-capable haulers or travel in escorted convoys outside the peak windows.
- Combat pilots: avoid single-ship engagements against suspected multi-ship doctrines (multiple Lokis, Vexor Navy Issue + friends, Machariel gangs). Expect coordinated focus fire and capsule kills.
- Mobile Tractor Units: treat as high-risk assets — do not leave MTUs unattended during identified active hours.
- If engaged and outmatched: prioritize survival—warp out if possible rather than trading into coordinated gangs.
System Rating
- EIN Intelligence Rating for Elarel: HIGH THREAT (Low‑sec)
- Operational posture: Expect hunter-killer teams and persistent lone hunters. Exercise extreme caution, assume multi-ship contact during peak periods.
This advisory is based on kill activity observed 18–24 Sep 2025. Adjust operations to the above windows and group profiles to reduce loss exposure.
