Elarel – 2025-10-20
Threat Level: 4.0 — High Risk. Low-sec system; expect aggression, gate camps and pod-chasing. Enter only with explicit safeguards.
Summary
- Persistent, coordinated hunting observed. Primary victims: Ventures/Prospects, MTUs, haulers and capsules. Aggressors use a mix of stealth, high-alpha and fast-tackle platforms. Assume hostility from unknown locals.
Top aggressors (real_thread)
- Cailin Dioltas — 4.8 (Extremely Dangerous): Loki / Manticore. Frequent, precise miner + capsule kills. Fast engage/extract; likely coordinated hunters.
- Serqet Daphiti — 4.5 (Highly Dangerous): Abaddon. Gate-camp / high alpha attacker; focuses on industrials and capsules.
- Kayla Starchild — 4.2 (Dangerous): Pacifier. Fast interception of miners in belts.
- Cillian Dioltas — 4.0 (Dangerous): Manticore. Stealth-bomber strikes supporting Dioltas activity.
- Dejan Estemaire — 3.8 (Significant Threat): Gnosis. Sustained fire/tank vs haulers.
- Cadhla Dioltas — 3.5 (Moderate w/ High Potential): Garmur. Very fast, high-DPS frigate kills.
Temporal hotspots (UTC/EVE)
- 03:00–06:00 — spike in mining and capsule kills (Cailin, Serqet active).
- 14:00–18:00 — repeated Venture and hauler attacks (Cailin, Kayla, Dioltas group).
- Weekend evenings (notably Sunday 21:00–22:00) — concentrated activity from Serqet and Dejan on larger industrials and pods.
Observed tactics & targets
- Primary targets: Ventures/Prospects, MTUs, shuttles, Miasmos, capsule pods.
- Tactics: stealth drops (Manticore), fast tackle (Pacifier/Garmur), gate-camping with battleship alpha (Abaddon), follow-up capsule hunting.
Tactical guidance (rooted in observed behaviour)
- Avoid solo mining/hauling in Elarel. Move in fleets with combat escorts if practicable.
- Do not leave MTUs deployed unattended when these pilots are active.
- Time your operations to avoid the listed UTC windows; if you must operate, increase vigilance.
- Industrials: fit warp core stabilizers, reduce align time, and use insta-warp tactics. Keep pockets of supplies small.
- Combat/escort fits: include probe/D-scan discipline and tools to counter cloaked bombers (combat scanning + D-scan sweeps). Have fast tackle/point coverage or interdiction options ready.
- Use safe bookmarks and pre-planned warp-out spots for belts and gates; never assume immediate backup.
- Treat any unknown local as a potential hunter and refresh D-scan frequently while in belts and on gates.
Conclusion
Elarel is actively hunted by a mix of stealth, speed and heavy-hull predators—especially the Dioltas cluster, Serqet Daphiti and Kayla Starchild. Enter with robust countermeasures, escorts, and a conservative operational tempo.
