Elarel – 2025-10-16
Summary
Elarel (Low-Sec, Everyshore) is experiencing concentrated, organized hostile activity. Multiple highly skilled pilots are operating strategic cruisers, combat-fitted logistics, stealth bombers, interceptors and a battleship. Solo industrials, explorers and casual transit are at extreme risk. Follow the operational windows below and adopt the mitigation measures.
Threat windows (UTC)
- Thursday: 14:00–18:00 — industrial & exploration vessels targeted
- Friday: 08:00–15:00 and 23:00–00:00 — industrial ships and capsules at risk
- Saturday: 07:00–18:00 — daytime broad-spectrum hunting, includes larger ships
- Sunday: 02:00–18:00 — sustained high threat across ship types
- Tuesday: 03:00 — lone-wolf activity targeting Ventures
Most active threats (profiles from analyst data)
- Cailin Dioltas (2121195895) — Loki / Manticore — GUARANTEED DEATH for many solo pilots. Persistent hunter of Ventures and Capsules.
- Aladar Krahn (2119947844) — Tengu / combat-fitted Tholos — unpredictable; targets MTUs and Industrials.
- Peter Powers (179004085) — Legion / Magus — Magus indicates deliberate tackle followed by heavy-hitting Legion.
- Serqet Daphiti (2114753225) — Abaddon — battleship delivering rapid lethal damage to small ships.
- Cadhla Dioltas (2120988720) — combat Tholos — supports aggressive, nonstandard fits.
- Charon Sasen (90604044) — Pacifier interceptor — fast tackle and harassment enabling follow-up kills.
Tactics observed
- Coordinated use of tackle (Magus, Pacifier) with high-damage strategic cruisers.
- Stealth bombing and surprise engagements (Manticore).
- Combat-optimized logistics (Tholos) used offensively.
- Targeting of Ventures, MTUs, shuttles, and capsules to maximize easy kills.
Recommended actions (grounded in briefing)
- Avoid Elarel entirely during listed windows. Reroute if possible.
- If transit is unavoidable: travel in a well-organized, combat-capable fleet — solo or unescorted industrial/explorer = high likelihood of loss.
- Do not loiter, salvage, or retrieve MTUs in-station; these are targeted.
- Use fast-align ships or covert-capable fittings for transits; pre-warp and warp at range.
- If tackled (Magus/Pacifier present), assume heavy hitters are nearby — prioritize burn/align and bookmarks for immediate warp-out over combat.
- Treat sightings of Abaddon or Loki as immediate evacuation triggers for small ships.
Closing
Elarel is controlled by a persistent, adaptable hostile presence. Avoid the system until this activity wanes or you operate with overwhelming defensive resources. Stay aligned, mobile, and skeptical — the aggressors exploit predictable behavior.
