Elarel – 2025-10-24
EIN-Advisory: High Threat — Elarel (Low-Sec)
Summary
- System threat level: 4.0 — High. Persistent, dedicated hunters operating across the UTC day.
- Attack profile: Solo and small-gang capsuleer activity. Frequent capsule kills — pod loss is likely after ship destruction.
- Primary targets: Industrial and exploration ships (Ventures, Shuttles, Miasmos, Imicus) but cruisers and even Bestower have been lost. No hull is inherently safe.
Top active aggressors (why they matter)
- Serqet Daphiti (Abaddon) — Threat 4.8. Prolific, fast follow-up capsule kills. Present across late evenings and broad daylight windows. Expect near-instant destruction.
- Kaitlynn (Praxis/Abaddon) — Threat 4.6. Heavy activity, especially Mondays. Targets light ships and interdictors; kills pods.
- Dejan Estemaire (Gnosis) — Threat 4.0. Frequently pairs with Serqet; increases encounter lethality.
- Cailin Dioltas (Manticore) — Threat 3.5. Stealth-bomber strikes, hard to detect until detonation. Targets small/mining ships.
- Kayla Starchild (Pacifier) — Threat 3.0. Opportunistic but capable against unescorted targets.
- Cadhla Dioltas (Garmur) — Threat 2.5. Fast frigate; do not underestimate.
Temporal patterns (UTC)
- Highest general activity: ~07:00–23:00 UTC, with intense spikes 16:00–22:00 UTC.
- Notable concentrated days: Monday (very high), Tuesday (sustained), Saturday (evening), Sunday (early morning to late morning).
Tactical guidance (rooted in observed behavior)
- Avoid if possible. If you must enter, assume hunters are present at all hours.
- Do not expect easy escape — capsule kills are common. Consider an empty/minimal implant clone for risky transits.
- Travel fast and/or in combat-fit ships. Do not loiter on gates or undocks.
- Use gate-perches, cloaked tactical warps, or safe bookmarks before committing to a jump.
- Fit Warp Core Stabilizers on slow/industrial hulls where feasible, but understand multi-aggro gangs and battleships can still catch you.
- Maintain a ready insta-undock bookmark and practise instant-warp routines.
- Scout ahead with a fast frigate when moving valuable cargo or assets.
- Move in numbers when possible; small gangs deter some lone hunters but may still be engaged by battleship aggressors.
- Constantly d-scan for cloaked boats and combat signatures at gates/celestials.
Final assessment
Elarel hosts organized, repeat hunters with a proven record of capsule kills and varied ship tactics (battleships, bomber, recon). Operate only with deliberate precautions and accept elevated risk of pod loss when present.
