EIN-Advisory — Elarel: CRITICAL HOSTILITY ALERT (2025-11-09 → 2025-11-15)

Summary

• Elarel (Everyshore) is reporting sustained, organized hostile activity. Overall Threat Level: CRITICAL (4.5/5.0).
• Despite Elarel’s technical High-Security status, the tactics, coordination, and persistence of aggressors make it behave like a low-sec hunting ground. Treat it accordingly.
• Pilots in vulnerable or high-value ships (haulers, miners, exploration frigates, lightly fitted cruisers) should avoid solo or unescorted transit through Elarel during the analyzed period.

Primary Observed Threats

• Stealth Bomber ganking: "Cailin Dioltas" in a Manticore repeatedly conducts fast alpha strikes against Ventures, Probes and Capsules immediately post-kill. High probability of cloaked strike and capsule follow-up.
• Strategic Cruiser gangs: Coordinated teams fielding Tengus, Lokis, Legions (and support Curse/Lachesis) capable of tackling and deleting Cruisers, haulers and mining ships. Core names: Hunter Dredd, Kayla Starchild, John Shepard21.
• Capital strike presence: "Izzy Crane" in a Moros Navy Issue has been used to eliminate targets — rare but decisive and an immediate threat to any exposed vessel.
• Opportunistic/support pilots: Aladar Krahn (Gnosis/Tengu) provides follow-up DPS/support on gang operations.

Temporal Patterns — Avoid Transit Windows

• Highest risk windows:
  • 08:00–13:00 UTC — EXTREME (frequent stealth ganks; miners and early-day traffic targeted)
  • 15:00–02:00 UTC — SEVERE (organized gang operations; high-value targets pursued)
• Peak days: Wednesday (12th) and Friday (14th) showed concentrated activity. Expect similar patterns on comparable weekdays.

Victim Profile — Who’s Most at Risk

• Miners / Exploration ships (Venture, Prospect, Probe): Most frequently targeted; capsule kills follow many ship kills.
• Lightly fitted Cruisers and high-value Cruisers (Ishtar, Gila, Caracal Navy Issue): Require coordinated gang response — and gangs are present.
• Haulers (Bestower, Badger, Iteron V): Targeted for cargo value; organized gangs have demonstrated ability to catch and kill them.

Immediate Recommendations (Operational Guidance)

1. Avoid solo passage through Elarel in any non-combat, lightly tanked, or slow ship for the duration of this alert.
2. If you must transit:
   • Move in a well-organized, combat-capable fleet or with dedicated PvP escorts (T3Cs/Logistics/Interdictors).
   • Do not undock or warp to obvious mining/tractor-belt bookmarks alone; use scouts and an escape plan.
3. Travel times:
   • Prefer avoiding Elarel during 08:00–13:00 UTC and 15:00–02:00 UTC. If possible, schedule transits outside these windows.
4. Fit and prepare:
   • Haulers/transport: use maximum resist buffer, hull-tank options, and prepare for hard tackle; consider escorts over trying to fit for every threat.
   • Combat/utility modules: carry stasis web/warp disruptor responses if expecting gang fights; have remote reps/repair backup if operating a doctrine cruiser.
   • Exploration frigates: fly with cloaks and probes offline when not probing; alignment + instant-warp bookmarks can save you from cloak-bombers but do not rely on blind warps.
5. Capsule risk:
   • Manticore pilots have repeatedly killed pods after ship kills. Do not assume a pod-safe after losing your ship; have a pod survival plan (instant-align, cyno-safe where applicable, or alpha-escape considerations).
6. Gate & undock behavior:
   • Use d-scan, watch local, and avoid aligning to gates with no clear safe exit. Expect gangs to stage on common choke points.
7. Capital threat:
   • If you encounter a Moros/Capital in-system, abort engagement and break contact immediately. Capitals can delete high-value targets quickly; avoid escalation.

Tactical Checklist Before Entering Elarel

• Confirm you are fleet-capable or have an armed escort.
• Harden fittings for short alpha bursts (resists, buffer).
• Pre-plan bookmarks for instant-warp safe points and station/docking options.
• Keep probes, d-scan, and overview tuned for stealth bomber signatures and T3C gang fittings.
• Consider rerouting cargo/ops to avoid Elarel entirely while activity persists.

Attribution / Known Aggressors (for situational awareness)

• Primary: Cailin Dioltas (Manticore) — high-frequency stealth ganking and pod kills.
• Strategic Cruisers: Hunter Dredd (Loki), Kayla Starchild (Tengu), John Shepard21 (Loki).
• Capital presence: Izzy Crane (Moros Navy Issue).
• Support/Opportunists: Aladar Krahn (Gnosis/Tengu).

Closing Advisory
Elarel is currently functioning as a high-risk interdiction zone. The combined use of cloaky high-alpha strikes and coordinated Strategic Cruiser gang tactics has produced a sustained kill-rate against miners, explorers, cruisers and haulers. For the near term, treat Elarel like low-sec: avoid solo operations, travel with escorts, and schedule movements outside the high-risk windows listed above.
