Elarel – 2025-10-29
EIN-Advisory — Elarel: High-Risk Low‑Sec Corridor (Threat Level 4.0)
CURRENT LOCAL THREAT LEVEL: 4.0 — HIGH AGGRESSION ZONE
Summary
- Elarel is actively controlled by aggressive gankers and small task forces that target low-tier ships, shuttles, haulers, and pods. Capsule hunting is a dominant tactic — pods are being destroyed after initial kills.
- Primary window of danger: 16:00 UTC – 22:00 UTC (daily). Secondary spikes occur around 02:00–05:00 UTC.
- High-risk ship types observed as victims: frigates, shuttles, Iteron/Tayra-class haulers, Ventures, Endurance, and other industrial/mobile units.
Key adversaries (observed)
- Serqet Daphiti (2114753225) — Abaddon — Real Threat: 4.5 — Primary systemic predator; responsible for the majority of capsule kills.
- Cailin Dioltas (2121195895) — Manticore (Stealth Bomber) — Real Threat: 3.8 — precision bomber ganking.
- Kaitlynn (96522434) — Abaddon / Praxis — Real Threat: 3.5 — heavy support/capital-capable.
- Michel Ferran (2119926377) — Proteus — Real Threat: 3.5 — flexible T3 threat.
- Dejan Estemaire (2113053476) — Gnosis/Tengu — Real Threat: 3.0 — escalator/offensive T3 presence.
- Gertrud ToD (1652553329) — Khizriel — Real Threat: 2.5 — micro-ganking/pod hunting.
What this means
- Operators moving industrial goods, blueprints, or flying lightly fitted ships/pods through Elarel are at high risk of loss and pod destruction. Attackers are equipped to drop large, concentrated DPS quickly (capital‑class and T3 assets present), and they deliberately finish off pods to deny pilots their implants and clones.
Advisory / Recommended Actions (rooted in observed intel)
- Avoid transiting Elarel during its peak window (16:00–22:00 UTC) wherever possible. Plan routes to bypass the system during these hours.
- If you must enter Elarel:
- Do not fly shuttles, un-fitted haulers, or other low‑align industrials. Use a fast‑align, tanked transit fit; remove non‑essential cargo and valuables.
- Minimize implant risk: travel in a clone without expensive implants when transiting high‑risk low‑sec. Treat pods as highly vulnerable.
- Do not re-warp to wrecks, gates, or any position you were destroyed from — attackers are actively hunting re-warps and salvageers.
- Stay aligned, keep a clear warpout plan, and avoid prolonged loitering at gates and stations.
- Use situational tools: local/d-scan vigilance, bookmarks for pre-warp safes, and scouts when possible. Expect cloaky and bomber strikes (Manticore-class actions observed).
- If traveling with cargo that must transit this route, consider alternate timing (off-peak), convoying with combat escort, or longer detours around Elarel.
Operational caution
- The presence of Abaddon-class gankers and T3 cruisers indicates danger for solo or small‑gang defenders. Solo interceptors or light-gang responses should assume they will be outgunned if attackers bring heavy ships.
- Capsule hunting is confirmed — treat pod loss as a likely outcome of being engaged; safeguard implants and jump clones accordingly.
Intelligence take-away
- Elarel is a persistent ganking hotspot with organized players focusing on soft targets and pod kills. Until patterns change, treat the system as hostile low‑sec: route planning, clone management, and ship selection must be conservative.
