Monthly Intelligence Report: Elarel - October 2025

Overview

Elarel experienced a sustained period of high-risk predation throughout October 2025. What began as persistent solo hunting escalated into organized ganking, often utilizing high-alpha battleship and stealth-bomber tactics in coordinated small gangs. The primary victim profile remained soft targets—miners, haulers, and explorers—but the willingness of aggressors to engage and kill pods led to a consistent High threat designation.

Key Threat Indicators

• Average Threat Level: 3.32 (High Risk)

• Most Noteworthy Killers:

  1. Cailin Dioltas (Loki / Manticore) - Dominant, highly active solo hunter and stealth bomber specialist.
  2. Serqet Daphiti (Abaddon / Gnosis) - Primary battleship alpha-striker and persistent capsule hunter.
  3. Kaitlynn (Abaddon / Praxis) - High-volume ganker, particularly active mid-month.
  4. Aladar Krahn (Tholos / Tengu / Garmur) - Versatile fast-attack and tackle specialist, often supporting Cailin Dioltas.
  5. Peter Powers (Tengu / Legion / Magus) - Flexible Tech 3 cruiser and command destroyer operator.
  6. Dejan Estemaire (Gnosis / Ferox Navy Issue) - Heavy cruiser damage and support, frequently paired with Serqet Daphiti.
  7. Cadhla Dioltas (Garmur / Tholos / Drekavac) - Fast-attack frigate/destroyer; part of the Dioltas collective.
  8. Charon Sasen (Pacifier) - Covert Ops expert focusing on fast, precise kills.

• Most Noteworthy Victims:

  1. Kortofan Madullier (Highly repeat victim, primarily Venture class).
  2. Industrial Pilots (Unidentified haulers/shuttles: Iteron MkV, Bestower, Miasmos).
  3. Capsule Pilots (Repeat victims of capsule follow-up attacks).

• Groups Working Together (Coordinated Activity):

  • The Dioltas Collective: Cailin, Cadhla, and Cillian Dioltas frequently operated together, utilizing a mix of Lokis, Manticores (stealth bombers), Tholos attack destroyers, and Garmurs for rapid, targeted kills.
  • Battleship / Cruiser Squad: Serqet Daphiti (Abaddon) and Dejan Estemaire (Gnosis / Ferox Navy Issue) consistently partnered for high-alpha/sustained damage ganks against haulers and larger ships.
  • T3/Tackle Gangs: Aladar Krahn (Tengu/Tholos/Garmur) often coordinated with Cailin and Peter Powers for stealthy interdiction and finishing blows.

History of the Month

October in Elarel was characterized by an aggressive transition from general solo hunting to structured, high-efficiency ganking. The month began with persistent T3/HAC solo hunters (Cailin, Aladar, Peter) targeting miners and slow industrials. By mid-month, the introduction of high-alpha battleships (Abaddon, Praxis) piloted by Serqet Daphiti and Kaitlynn, often supported by Dejan Estemaire, marked a significant escalation. This heavy-hull presence led to routine gate and station camping, resulting in significant Shuttle, Capsule, and unescorted hauler losses. The final week maintained a Severe Threat, despite one notable counter-gank that destroyed Serqet Daphiti's Abaddon, other predators quickly filled the void to maintain the high threat level using cloaky stealth bombers (Manticore) and T3 cruisers (Proteus, Tengu).

Notable Groups in Conflict

The primary conflict was between the Predator Cell (Dioltas Collective, Serqet Daphiti, Kaitlynn, Aladar Krahn, etc.) and unaligned, often casual, Industrial / Mining / Exploration Pilots. While no organized defensive alliance emerged, the focus of the aggressors remained squarely on eliminating vulnerable economic traffic, prioritizing quick kills and high efficiency.

Typical Ships Used

• Killers: Strategic Cruisers (Loki, Tengu, Proteus), Stealth Bombers (Manticore), Battleships (Abaddon, Praxis, Redeemer), Attack Battlecruisers (Gnosis, Ferox Navy Issue), Command Destroyers (Magus, Tholos), and specialized Frigates (Garmur, Pacifier).
• Victims: Mining Frigates/Barges (Venture, Retriever), T1 Industrial Ships (Iteron MkV, Miasmos, Bestower), Shuttles, Capsules, and Exploration Frigates (Imicus, Heron).

Trends

1. Capsule Hunting: Pod killing became a routine tactic by mid-month, especially for Serqet Daphiti and Cailin Dioltas, indicating a focus on maximizing pilot/implant losses.
2. High-Alpha Escalation: The shift from primarily Cruiser/HAC aggression to Battleship (Abaddon/Praxis) ganking for rapid target elimination.
3. Coordination: Killers increasingly operated in duos/trios combining specialized roles (tackle/alpha/stealth) to ensure high kill certainty.
4. Peak Hours: Sustained danger windows emerged daily: 16:00–22:00 UTC (EU/US Prime) and a secondary stealth-focused spike 02:00–05:00 UTC.

Notable Kills (Analyst Selection)

1. Venture: Frequent Venture losses by Kortofan Madullier, often followed immediately by a Capsule kill, illustrating focused hunter persistence.
2. Rokh: A large battleship loss to the Serqet Daphiti / Dejan Estemaire duo (Zealot / Lachesis support mentioned in early advisories), showcasing their ability to target larger subcapitals.
3. Abaddon (Aggressor Loss): Serqet Daphiti's Abaddon was destroyed on October 25th in a counter-engagement, proving even high-alpha gankers are vulnerable to organized defense.
4. Stratios/Astero Kills: Losses of covert exploration ships (Stratios, Astero) to Loki/Tengu pilots, confirming the vulnerability of even specialized cloaky ships in this threat environment.
5. Iteron MkV / Bestower: Repeat losses of T1 haulers to battleship/Gnosis combinations, highlighting the danger for logistics traffic.
