Groothese Threat Advisory — HIGH (2025-09-27)

Analyst: Everyshore Intel Network — Groothese (Low-Sec)

Summary

• Local threat: HIGH. Predatory activity is regular and concentrated in UTC evening/night hours. Assume contacts are hostile unless proven otherwise.
• Primary tactics: stealth-capable, high-damage sub-capital and black-ops platforms; rapid hunter-prey engagements against industrials, explorers, and lightly tanked ships.
• Avoid lingering in Groothese when carrying value or flying un‑tanked/slow ships.

Observed Principal Threats (ranked by analyst "real_thread")

1. Hunter Dredd — Loki (T3 Cruiser) — Real thread 4.8–5.0. Rapid, decisive hunter; guaranteed kill risk for Ventures, Catalysts (gank fits), Herons and similar fragiles. Active ~11:00–13:30 UTC.
2. Ena Yleto Yanumano & associates — Panther / Redeemer / Widow / Proteus (Black Ops + T3) — Real thread 4.5–4.8. Black‑ops capability: cloaked jumps and overwhelming force. Near‑guaranteed for unprepared sub‑capitals. Observed ~08:00–09:00 UTC.
3. Cailin Dioltas — Loki (T3) — Real thread 4.0–4.5. Efficient industrial hunter; active ~03:00–03:30 UTC.
4. Aladar Krahn — Garmur (Faction Frigate) — Real thread 3.5–4.0. Targets explorers and small frigates.
5. Kayla Starchild & Cadhla Dioltas — Tengu + Garmur — Real thread 3.0–3.8. Coordinated cruiser/frag strikes.
6. DimanLin — Tempest (Battleship) — Real thread 2.0–2.5. Occasional threat but vulnerable to stronger groups.

Temporal Patterns (UTC)

• Lower risk: 04:00–07:00 UTC (threat 1.0–2.0).
• Moderate: 08:00–12:00 UTC (2.5–3.5) — sporadic kills.
• High: 13:00–04:00 UTC next day (4.0–5.0). Peaks 13:00–17:00 and 01:00–04:00.

Tactical Recommendations (Low‑Sec context)

• Avoid Groothese during high-threat windows; Monday UTC is relatively safer.
• Do not AFK. Monitor local, D‑scan, and keep active situational awareness.
• Avoid flying vulnerable ships (Ventures, Tayra, non‑tanked cruisers, exploration frigates) through Groothese during peak hours.
• If travel is unavoidable:
  • Use a cloaked or strongly tanked ship; align and hot-drop warp the moment threat appears.
  • Consider a scout alt before committing (jump/scan ahead).
  • Travel in numbers when feasible; coordinated groups deter black‑ops/ambush tactics.
  • Assume warp‑core stab fits may be countered by T3s with interdiction — do not rely on stab alone.
• For high‑value cargo, prefer alternate routes and off‑peak transits; minimise time spent in system.

Intel caveats

• Patterns are derived from recent activity and may evolve. Maintain caution and adapt on sight.

Everyshore Intel Network — Stay vigilant in Groothese; low‑sec protections are minimal and predatory actors remain active.
