Elarel – 2025-09-30
EIN-Advisory: Elarel — High-Risk Low‑sec Alert
Date: 2025-09-30
System: Elarel (Low‑sec)
Summary
Elarel is experiencing sustained, targeted hostile activity against miners, industrials and a variety of sub‑capital ships. Attacks concentrate in predictable UTC windows and are driven by several high‑skill hunters and small gangs. Treat the system as high‑risk; miners and freighters are primary prey.
Immediate Warnings
- Mining hulls (Ventures, Endurance-class) and Capsule pilots are repeatedly targeted. Losses are frequent and decisive.
- Industrial ships (Iteron MkV) and slow transports show a clear pattern of interdiction and looting.
- Peak danger windows: 21:00–03:00 UTC (primary) and 08:00–10:00 UTC (secondary). Saturday presents the broadest activity span.
- If you resemble past victims (solo miner, unescorted industrial), assume increased targeting probability.
Top Identified Threats (short profiles)
- The Cailin Dioltas Persistent Hunter — Loki operator. real_thread: 4.5. Solo, efficient, focuses on miners; escape is difficult.
- The Aladar Krahn Mining Purge — Tholos / Orthrus. real_thread: 4.0. Targets Ventures and Capsules; repeat victimization observed.
- The Peter Powers Punisher — Absolution / Magus. real_thread: 3.5. Versatile aggressor engaging miners and frigates.
- The Miner McBride Industrial Hunter — Gnosis vs industrials. real_thread: 3.0. Targets slow freighters/cargo.
- Ena Yleto Yanumano Opportunist — Loki. real_thread: 3.5. Sporadic Loki hunter, capable of rapid kills.
- Serqet Daphiti & Dejan Estemaire — Zealot + Lachesis duo. real_thread: 4.0. Coordinated small‑gangs able to tackle larger, slower targets.
Recommended Mitigations (operational)
- Avoid 21:00–03:00 UTC and 08:00–10:00 UTC for mining/hauling in Elarel; Saturday is especially hazardous.
- Never mine or haul solo if you lack viable ECM/propulsion or a combat escort. Fleet up for miners and industrial ops.
- Fit for survival: warp core stabilizers, cloak (where applicable), point‑avoidance and prop mods for rapid escape. Reduce signature and align time.
- Limit value carried: use disposable cargo and split loads across runs. Assume any solo operation can be engaged.
- Maintain vigilant D‑scan and grid awareness; be prepared to instant‑warp out on contacts or motion.
- Prefer ops in higher‑security timeframes or alternative routes/systems where possible.
Bottom line: Elarel is an active hunting ground. Adjust schedules, fittings and risk tolerance accordingly — miners and slow industrials are the most likely victims.
