Groothese – 2025-09-28
EIN-Advisory: Groothese — Elevated Threat; Avoid Prime Windows
System: Groothese (Low-Sec)
Threat Level: 3.5 — Significant Danger
Summary
- Recent kill activity shows a small, capable set of predators operating in Groothese. Strategic cruisers (Loki, Tengu) and high-damage frigates (Garmur) are the primary threat vectors. Expect high lethality against unprepared, solo, or lightly tanked pilots.
- Two recurring activity windows have been identified: a mid-day European/early-US window during the week, and a late-US / early-APAC weekend window.
Observed Prime Windows (UTC)
- Weekdays (esp. Tue–Wed) 11:00–18:00 — Hunter Dredd (Loki) consistently active; highly lethal to Ventures, exploration ships, and light cruisers.
- Weekend (Sat–Sun) 01:00–05:00 — Aladar Krahn (Garmur), Cailin Dioltas (Loki), with occasional supports Kayla Starchild (Tengu) and Cadhla Dioltas (Garmur). Multiple near-simultaneous engagements indicate coordinated cells.
Notable Profiles (operating patterns)
- Hunter Dredd — Loki; multiple kills within hours; opportunistic, high-tier fittings. High solo threat.
- Cailin Dioltas — Loki; near-simultaneous kills of industrials; likely part of a small coordinated group.
- Kayla Starchild — Tengu; engages with support assets; dangerous in paired assaults.
- Cadhla & Aladar Krahn — Garmur frigates; fast tacklers/damage dealers used to close and shred light targets.
- Repeated victims (e.g., Siegl Kuparos) show risk to pilots who maintain predictable routines in-system.
Tactical Recommendations (rooted in observed patterns)
- Avoid transit or high-value ops in Groothese during the identified prime windows.
- Assume any gate or warp-in could be compromised; avoid aligning and warping without scout information.
- Fit industrials/probes with warp core stabilizers and align-fast rigs where possible.
- Prefer convoys or dedicated escorts for valuable cargo; single ships in low-sec are high-risk.
- Use fast-align or interceptor-class ships for risky transits; manual safes/docking during peak times are prudent.
- Do not engage unknown or unaligned contacts; Garmurs and Lokis are optimized to exploit isolated targets.
Operational Note
- Activity indicates both solo elite predators and small coordinated cells. Treat Groothese as hostile for casual operations until patterns change or stronger local security is present.
