Elarel – 2025-10-12
ELAREL SYSTEM — CRITICAL THREAT ADVISORY
Threat Level: CRITICAL (Low-Sec — expect pod kills)
Summary
- Elarel is an active hunting ground. Multiple skilled aggressors operate across most time zones with concentrated surges in the afternoon and early evening UTC. Transit and operations in-system carry a high risk of ship and capsule loss.
Peak Threat Windows (UTC)
- Afternoon / Early Evening: 14:00–18:00 (sharp increase)
- Evening: 17:00–00:00 (sustained presence)
- Early Morning: 05:00–08:00 (opportunistic industrial targeting)
- Highest daily activity: Wednesday, Friday, Saturday.
Principal Aggressors (high-risk profiles)
- Cailin Dioltas — Loki (T3C). Extremely active hunter; kills range from industrials (Caracal, Venture) to capsules. Treat as top-tier threat.
- Peter Powers — Tengu / Legion / Magus. Afternoon predator; rapid multi-kill capability including pod kills.
- Aladar Krahn — Tengu / Tholos. Mid‑afternoon presence; methodical killer of smaller and industrial targets.
- Serqet Daphiti — Gnosis / Abaddon. Versatile solo and group attacker; secures capsule kills.
- Vipy Styx — Ikitursa / Loki. High-tier ship pilot; engages combat-capable targets.
- Charon Sasen — Pacifier. Fast, efficient destroyer pilot; targets small ships and capsules.
Observed victim set
- Industrial ships (Retriever, Venture, Caracal), explorers/scouts (Heron, Imicus), combat frigates/cruisers, and frequent capsule (pod) kills — loss of ship is often accompanied by pod death.
Tactical Recommendations
- Assume hostile intent at all hours; avoid complacency during listed peak windows.
- Prefer travel in combat-capable hulls or escorted convoys during 14:00–00:00 UTC peaks.
- Use maximized tank, fast align/warp fittings, + ranged engagement awareness; avoid predictable warp-ins (no slow approach with MTUs visible).
- Scan for local T3 cruiser signatures and bookmark safe spots; be prepared for interdiction and multi-crew ambushes.
- Industrial ops: limit exposed hauler windows to low-traffic hours only if necessary and consider split cargo or lighter fits.
Narrative Note for Fleet and Ops Writers
- Elarel’s pattern of persistent, skilled hunters and routine pod kills makes it a high-risk, high-stakes environment — ripe for ambush, last-stand, or desperate escape vignettes.
