Monthly Intelligence Report: Groothese (October 2025)

Overview

The system of Groothese in the Everyshore region was a persistent and highly hazardous low-security area throughout October 2025. The threat level remained consistently elevated (Real_Thread averaging 3.2, frequently spiking to 4.5–5.0) due to organized predation by a small collection of high-skill individuals and small gangs.

Noteworthy Aggressors (Killers)

1. Aladar Krahn: (Corvette Systems/Dioltas Group) Dominated the early-morning UTC window, deploying versatile, heavy platforms (Machariel, Gnosis, Garmur, Tholos). Ranked as the most dangerous and frequent killer.
2. Dejan Estemaire: (Solo/Opportunistic) Primarily operated the Gnosis battlecruiser, focusing on industrial and logistics ships in the midday and evening UTC peak windows.
3. Alexis glavor: (TBD) Key pilot in co-ordinated small-gang activity, often fielding T3 Cruisers (Legion, Tengu, Vigilant) and heavy hitters (Leshak, Ikitursa, Machariel).
4. Cailin Dioltas/Cadhla Dioltas: (Dioltas Group) Consistent early-morning activity using stealthy or fast platforms (Loki, Garmur, Tholos), often coordinating with Aladar Krahn.
5. Peter Powers: (Solo/Small-Gang) Effective solo and coordinated hunter, often using strategic cruisers (Tengu, Legion) and occasional unconventional platforms (Tholos).
6. Michel Ferran / Mai Winter: (TBD) Central figures in organized T3 Cruiser gangs (Proteus, Gnosis) during the European midday peak, targeting higher-value assets and cruisers.
7. Evilelmo: (Purifier Group/Associates) Led group (e.g., Ikitursa, Purifiers) responsible for high-alpha strikes against larger, unprepared targets (e.g., Rokh).
8. Torrent Talon: (Solo/Opportunistic) Effective solo hunter utilizing Triglavian hulls (Drekavac).

Victims Targeted

Victim profiles were highly varied, but centered on highly vulnerable ships:

1. Industrial/Logistics Hulls: (e.g., Tayra, Iteron Mark V, Miasmos, Viator, Hoarder, Venture) – Consistently the highest volume target, often struck by heavy Battlecruisers or coordinated pairs.
2. Exploration & Frigate Hulls: (e.g., Imicus, Astero, Prospect, Nemesis, Thrasher FI) – Frequently eliminated by fast tackle (Garmur) or specialist covert ships (Stratios, Khizriel).
3. Capsules: High rate of intentional follow-up pod kills by aggressive pilots (notably Aladar Krahn and Gertrud ToD) after ship destruction, indicating a 'no survivors' policy.

Noteworthy Group Cooperation

Cooperation was a defined threat pattern, primarily focusing on:

• Dioltas Group & Aladar Krahn: Consistent early-morning tandem operation (Garmur/Tholos + Loki/T3s) for high-speed, high-burst kills.
• Alexis glavor & Sick Artley/Jason Ozran: Operated multi-role, coordinated gangs blending E-Warfare (Lachesis), fast tackle (Garmur, Hecate), and T3/heavy damage application (Nighthawk, Leshak, Ikitursa).
• Michel Ferran & Mai Winter/Po Acami: Organized T3 cruiser wolfpack activity (Proteus, Legion, Gnosis) during peak European hours, indicating staged operations.
• Evilelmo & Purifier Group: Coordinated alpha strikes using Ikitursa and multiple Purifier stealth bombers.

Summary of Monthly History

October in Groothese was defined by sustained, focused predation. Starting early in the month, the system saw a mix of highly skilled solo T3 hunters (Loki/Tengu) and fast frigate duos (Garmur/Tholos). As the month progressed, the threat solidified into predictable temporal windows and established small-gang doctrines. The intensity peaked during overlap hours (EUTZ/USTZ), where groups like the Alexis glavor associates deployed multi-role gangs with tackle, EWAR, and heavy DPS (Ikitursa, Machariel, Leshak). By late October, specialized threats emerged: Machariel/Gnosis usage for industrial ganking (Aladar Krahn) and T3C group composition (Michel Ferran/Mai Winter) targeting higher-value solo travelers. The persistent targeting of capsules and mobile structures confirmed the systematic, professional nature of the piracy.

Primary Conflicts

The conflict landscape was characterized by pirates targeting general traffic, with little evidence of ongoing organized factional warfare. The most notable antagonism was:

• Pirate Aggressors (Multiple, Non-Aligned Corperations/Alliances) vs. General Low-Sec Traffic (Industrials, Explorers): This was the driving force of the system, involving all named aggressors and resulting in the destruction of dozens of unescorted ships.

Typical Ships Used

• Killers: T3 Cruisers (Loki, Tengu, Legion, Proteus), Assault Frigates (Garmur, Tholos), Battlecruisers (Gnosis), Battleships (Machariel, Rokh – as targets), Triglavian (Ikitursa, Leshak, Drekavac), Stealth Bombers (Manticore, Purifier, Nemesis), T2 Cruisers (Vigilant, Lachesis, Nighthawk, Stabber F.I.).
• Victims: Haulers/Industrials (Tayra, Miasmos, Iteron V, Hoarder, Venture), Capsules, Exploration Frigates (Imicus, Astero, Prospect), and smaller combat/covert hulls (Nemesis, Confessor, Vexor N.I.).

Trends

• Increased Lethality: A clear trend toward immediate capsule kills after ship destruction, forcing pilots to prioritize immediate warp-off.
• Specialization in Group Formation: Aggressors consistently utilized small, highly versatile gangs mixing fast tackle (Garmur, Hecate, Stiletto), EWAR/Disruption (Lachesis, Loki), and high burst/sustained damage (T3 Cruisers, Ikitursa, Machariel).
• Temporal Predictability: Strong, concentrated peak activity windows (01:00–05:00 UTC and 12:00–15:00 UTC) allowed for higher efficiency by predators.
• Heavy Ship Deployment against Soft Targets: Predators frequently utilized Gnosis and Machariel-class ships to quickly eliminate low-EHP industrial targets, demonstrating preparation and intent against vulnerable logistic flows.

Notable Kills (Representative Examples)

1. Rokh destroyed by Purifier Taskforce (led by Evilelmo in Ikitursa) – Demonstrates large-scale alpha-strike capability against large, prepared targets. (Early Oct)
2. Iteron Mark V destroyed by Machariel (Aladar Krahn) – Classic example of a dedicated logistics predator using overwhelming force against unescorted haulers. (Late Oct)
3. Capsule destroyed by Khizriel (Gertrud ToD) – Highlights the trend of dedicated pod-hunting and 'no survivors' tactics. (Mid Oct)
4. Tayra destroyed by Loki (Cailin Dioltas) – Early-month example of skilled solo T3 hunters targeting industrials.
5. Nemesis destroyed by Pacifier (Roime) – Indicates active hunter-killer operations specifically targeting covert-ops/stealth platforms.
