Elarel – 2025-11-14
Date: November 14, 2025
Region: Everyshore — System: Elarel (Low‑Sec)
Executive: Elarel is currently a Low‑to‑Medium risk system with persistent, repeatable threats from small, highly mobile cloaked operators and organized strategic‑cruiser gangs. Industry and exploration ships are the primary victims; combat ships are at risk from coordinated Loki/Legion/Tengu groups. A single capital (Moros Navy Issue) presence was observed and greatly increases local danger to sub‑capital fleets.
Key observed actors (names from killmail data): Cailin Dioltas, Cadhla Dioltas, Izzy Crane (Moros N.I.), Kayla Starchild, Peter Powers, and a Loki gang including Hunter Dredd, John Shepard21, Boruet Annages, Alexis glavor, Jason Ozran. Treat these as high‑priority threats while transiting or operating in Elarel.
Threat Summary
- Primary threat vector: Cloaked Stealth Bomber (Manticore) and allied fast tackle (Garmur/Tengu) conducting hit‑and‑run strikes on miners, haulers, explorers and lone pilots. (Real threat ≈ 3.0–3.5)
- Secondary threat: Organized Strategic Cruiser + Recon gangs (Loki/Lachesis/Curse mix) capable of killing tanked cruisers (Ishtar, Gila) and picking off logistics. (Real threat ≈ 4.5)
- Capital risk: Moros N.I. observed (Izzy Crane) — represents an overriding deterrent to sub‑capital operations where present. (Real threat ≈ 5.0)
High‑Risk Times (UTC — based on Nov 8–14 data)
- Night: 00:00–04:59 — consistent cloaked bomber activity.
- Morning: 08:00–12:59 — peak overall activity and highest risk for miners/haulers.
- Wednesday: spike in activity across time blocks; treat Wednesdays as especially dangerous.
Who should be most cautious
- Industrial & Exploration pilots (Procurer, Prospect, Venture, Probe, Imicus, Badger, Bestower): Primary targets of the Dioltas operators and small cruiser gangs.
- Cruisers & HACs (Ishtar, Gila, Exequror Navy Issue): Vulnerable to organized Loki/Curse/Lachesis gangs.
- Any sub‑capital fleet operating near observed Moros N.I.: avoid combat while capital presence is unconfirmed or active.
Recommended Precautions (rooted in observed behavior)
- Assume cloaks: Treat belts, gate approaches and undocking points as high risk — do not linger. The Manticore/Garmur pair regularly performs cloaked gate‑and‑belt ambushes.
- Avoid solo mining/hauling during peak windows (UTC Morning, UTC Night) and especially on Wednesdays.
- Industrial ops: Use group mining/hauling with escorts; if solo, minimize time in belts, align to station/gate, carry warp‑out bookmarks, and maintain D‑Scan discipline.
- Exploration/scouting: Use covert cloak and movement discipline; avoid prolonged scanning in open belts/gates; be ready to warp out immediately.
- Combat pilots: If you encounter Recon + Strategic Cruiser signatures (Curse/Lachesis/Loki), dock up or disengage unless you have overwhelming numbers and counter‑ECM/tackle. Expect enemy ECM and specialized tackle — bring logistics and tackle counters.
- Capital aware: If a Moros N.I. or other capital is present, do not commit sub‑capital fleets to structure fights or prolonged engagements in system. Capitals change the engagement calculus entirely.
Tactical indicators to abort/avoid engagement
- Local shows any of the named threat pilots.
- D‑Scan reveals recon or strategic cruiser signatures (Curse, Loki, Tengu, Lachesis) in system.
- Multiple pilots converge on a gate or belt — likely ambush or staged gang.
Operational guidance for response
- Prefer flying with at least one dedicated tackler/point and logistics when operating combat types through Elarel.
- For haulers: avoid V‑ships in low‑sec alone; use convoy operations or route changes to adjacent low‑sec systems during peak hours.
- For miners: use site bookmarks to warp-to-zero safe points, stay aligned, and maintain a safe‑spot routine.
Watchlist (names observed across Nov 8–14)
- High‑persistence hunters: Cailin Dioltas, Cadhla Dioltas
- Strategic operators / gang members: Hunter Dredd, John Shepard21, Boruet Annages, Alexis glavor, Jason Ozran
- Strategic cruiser individuals: Kayla Starchild, Peter Powers
- Capital operator: Izzy Crane (Moros Navy Issue)
- Occasional cruiser gang actors: Sick Artley, Aladar Krahn
Bottom line
Elarel is actively hunted by fast, cloaked solo operators and by coordinated strategic‑cruiser gangs. Industrial and exploration pilots should consider rerouting or operating only with escorts during peak windows. Combat pilots should avoid isolated engagements against Loki/Curse/Lachesis gangs and treat any Moros N.I. presence as a hard no‑go for sub‑capital contests.
EIN will continue monitoring patterns; use extreme caution when entering or operating inside Elarel.
