Groothese — Moderate to High Risk: Predators Active; Avoid Peak Hours

Everyshore Intel Network Advisory — Groothese (Low-Sec)

Threat Level: MODERATE TO HIGH (Real threat 3.5/5.0)

Summary
Groothese has shown a sustained pattern of predatory activity over the past week. Incidents range from opportunistic frigate kills to coordinated ambushes with stealth bombers and heavy cruisers. Pilots transiting or operating in Groothese should be extremely cautious — particularly during identified high-risk windows.

High-risk Windows

  • Early UTC morning: 01:00–04:00 UTC — consistent, organized hunting.
  • Late UTC evening: 18:00–23:00 UTC — spikes of larger, coordinated groups.

Top Identified Threats (Observed behaviour & immediate risk)

  1. Cailin Dioltas — REAL THREAD: 4.5/5.0
    • Ship: Loki (T3 Cruiser). Two rapid Tayra kills. Near-guaranteed death for unprepared targets. Avoid.
  2. Cadhla Dioltas & Aladar Krahn — REAL THREAD: 4.0/5.0
    • Ships: Garmur + Garmur/Manticore. Coordinated pair; use of Manticore indicates cloaked alpha capability. Dangerous in tandem.
  3. Kayla Starchild — REAL THREAD: 3.8/5.0
    • Ship: Tengu (T3 Cruiser). Capable solo but particularly lethal when in group operations.
  4. “Purifier” group (led by Evilelmo in Ikitursa) — REAL THREAD: 3.5/5.0
    • Composition: Multiple Purifiers + Ikitursa. High burst ambush profile; responsible for destroying a Rokh. Assume planned gank if Purifiers detected.
  5. Torrent Talon — REAL THREAD: 3.0/5.0
    • Ship: Drekavac. Effective solo hunter; able to threaten most sub-capitals.
  6. Aladar Krahn (solo) — REAL THREAD: 2.5/5.0
    • Ship: Garmur. Proven frigate hunter; less existential alone but dangerous to small/ill-fitted ships.

Immediate Recommendations

  • Avoid Groothese during 01:00–04:00 UTC and 18:00–23:00 UTC where possible.
  • Use fast, scout-capable hulls or a dedicated recon alt before moving valuable assets through the system.
  • Be vigilant on gates and at undock; check for stealth bomber signatures and cloaked ships.
  • Travel in convoys or in properly tanked/combat-fitted ships if transit is unavoidable.
  • Industrial pilots should reroute if carrying high-value cargo; consider blockade runners or jump freighters with escorts.
  • Recognize threat ship profiles: Loki, Tengu, Garmur, Manticore, Ikitursa, Drekavac, Purifier — presence of any increases engagement risk.

Final Note
Groothese is an active hunting ground in low-sec. The mix of T3 cruisers, stealth bombers, and coordinated duos makes random transit hazardous. Heed the high-risk windows and the above precautions to reduce losses.
