Groothese – 2025-09-23
Groothese Advisory — Moderate‑High Threat (17–23 Sep 2025)
Everyshore Intel Network — System Advisory based on analyst killmail review.
Summary
- Groothese is in a sustained state of hostile activity. Threat level: MODERATE‑HIGH. Pilots should assume hostility and take precautions, particularly during identified peak windows.
Peak Risk Windows (UTC)
- Thu/Fri evenings: 21:00–23:00 — high risk of coordinated gang engagements.
- Weekday early morning: ~03:00 — opportunistic predation.
- Weekday mid‑morning: 08:00–13:00 — repeated activity against explorers and small ships.
Notable Threat Actors (observed)
- Friday Night Gang: Sick Artley (Legion), Alexis glavor (Vigilant), Jason Ozran (Lachesis) — coordinated, high‑damage gang action (critical threat, active 19 Sep 21:40–22:16).
- Hunter Dredd (Loki) — persistent solo hunter active 23 Sep 11:37–13:30 (high threat to light/medium targets).
- Aladar Krahn (Garmur) — targets ships and escape capsules; demonstrated capsule kills (high threat to explorers).
- Shisemi Kurvora (Tholos) — single observed interdiction on a Venture (medium‑low with potential).
- Black Ops gang: Ena Yleto Yanumano (Panther), Vipy Styx (Redeemer), KiaOra Bro (Widow), Kaiinen Muutaras (Proteus) — organized Black Ops presence; capable of decisive ambushes (critical if engaged).
- DimanLin (Tempest) — engaged but was neutralized during a Sunday engagement (status uncertain).
Tactics Observed
- Coordinated interdiction + tank + damage teamups (gate/camp ambushes).
- Solo Loki/Garmur hunting small, vulnerable ships (Ventures/Herons).
- Capsule destruction after ship kills—some pilots do not leave pods intact.
- Use of Black Ops stealth/overwhelming force in targeted ops.
Recommended Precautions (low‑sec context)
- Avoid identified peak windows when possible.
- Scout gates/system with an alt or escort before committing—assume bubbles/interdictors may be present.
- Fly with warp core stabilizers or combat‑ready fits if conducting non‑combat tasks.
- Travel in small fleets with dedicated combat escorts to deter solo hunters.
- Monitor local and D‑scan continuously; treat unknown contacts as hostile until proven otherwise.
- Assume potential capsule loss—avoid carrying expensive implants during high‑risk times.
Stay cautious; Groothese shows both opportunistic predators and capable coordinated gangs.
