Elarel – 2025-11-06
Date: 2025-11-06
System: Elarel (Low-Sec, Everyshore Region)
Analyst: [Your Name/Agency]
Executive Summary
Elarel is currently a high-risk low-sec waypoint. Kill-mail analysis through 2025-11-05 shows persistent, concentrated predation driven by a core group of repeat offenders employing cloaked strike craft and top-tier force projection (Stealth Bombers, Strategic Cruisers, Black Ops, Marauders). Industrial ships (Venture, Procurer, Iteron Mk V) are being targeted disproportionately, with several kills resulting in pod eliminations. Threat windows are predictable and should be treated as lethal.
Current overall threat: Thread Level 4.0–5.0 (High-Value Predation to Major Threat)
Threat Pattern & Timing (UTC)
- Morning peak: 04:00 – 08:00 UTC — focused predation on industrials; repeated use of Stealth Bombers (Manticore) and Tengu-class Strategic Cruisers.
Notable kill examples: 130880902 (04:11), 130933818 (06:54), 130934575 (08:03). - Evening peak: 19:00 – 23:00 UTC — opportunistic and coordinated ganks on industrials and small combat vessels.
Notable kill examples: 130873005 (19:26), 130920764 / 130921046 (19:00 / 19:11), 130898377 (22:45).
Lower but non-negligible activity occurs outside these windows. Expect cloaked approaches near common warp-ins and gate bookmarks.
Primary Threat Actors (Top 6)
These repeat actors and small gangs are the primary immediate threats in Elarel (names and typical hulls observed):
- Cailin Dioltas — Manticore (Stealth Bomber), Talos, Tengu — Thread 5.0 (high-volume ganker; cloaking specialist).
- Cadhla Dioltas — Tholos, Tengu — Thread 4.5 (coordinated force projection).
- Aladar Krahn — Tholos, Redeemer (Black Ops) — Thread 4.5 (Black Ops deployment observed).
- Nhimyk — Loki, Redeemer, Paladin (Marauder) — Thread 4.5 (varied high-end hull usage).
- Vipy Styx — Vigilant — Thread 4.0 (high-damage cruiser engagements).
- Peter Powers — Legion, Tholos — Thread 3.5 (persistent threat with Strategic Cruiser use).
Recurring victim: BOBAH001 noted as repeatedly targeted.
System-Level Warnings (Mandatory)
- Assume cloaked attackers (Stealth Bombers / Black Ops) and rapid strategic-ship follow-ups are present. Do not linger on gates, belts, or signature warp-ins.
- Industrial operations are especially vulnerable. Mines/haulers should be considered expendable unless escorted by force capable of countering Strategic Cruisers / Stealth Bombers.
- Peak hours (04:00–08:00 UTC and 19:00–23:00 UTC) are when coordinated, high-damage ganks are most likely; risk during these windows reaches Thread Level 5.0.
- Pod-losses have occurred in several industrial ganks—expect targeted pod kills following ship destruction.
Tactical Recommendations (Operational, Low-Sec Appropriate)
- Avoid transiting or conducting industry in Elarel during the identified peak windows where possible. If you must operate, use expendable hulls for miners/haulers.
- Do not pause or warp to bookmarks/waypoints without prior on-grid visual confirmation; assume cloaked warps near common approach points.
- If hauling or mining with value, travel with dedicated combat support able to contest Strategic Cruisers / Stealth Bombers (escort ships with long-range anti-stealth capability, heavy tackle and coordinated DPS).
- Use unpredictable approach vectors and varied warp bookmarks to reduce repeat ambush effectiveness. Do not loiter on gates or in belts.
- Capsule pilots: treat pods as high-risk; consider preserving clones/have clone contingency plans outside Elarel.
- Casual and small gang pilots: be wary of committing to fights that may escalate when enemies bring Redeemers, Lokis, Tengus or Paladins.
Bottom Line
Elarel is actively hunted by repeat, high-skill gankers employing cloaking and heavy force projection. Industrial pilots and solo small-ship pilots face elevated risk—exercise extreme caution, avoid predictable behavior, and abstain from non-essential operations during the morning and evening peak windows.
