Groothese – 2025-10-02
EIN-Advisory — Groothese: Persistent Low‑Sec Piracy; Time‑of‑Day Hunting Windows Identified
Date: 2025-09-30
System: Groothese (Low‑Security)
Summary
- Groothese is experiencing persistent, low‑intensity piracy. No large fleet actions observed, but skilled solo hunters and small coordinated taskforces are actively targeting vulnerable ships and high‑value hauls. Treat the system as hostile during identified windows.
Confirmed high‑risk windows (UTC)
- 01:00–04:00 — prime for fast, interdiction‑capable hunters (Garmur, Loki, Manticore).
- 22:00–00:00 — surge including heavy solo hunters (Drekavac) and mixed profiles.
- 18:00–19:00 — coordinated stealth‑bomber + brawler strikes (Purifiers + Ikitursa/Enforcer).
Top threat profiles (assessed real_thread)
- Cailin Dioltas — Loki (4.0): highly dangerous solo hunter; active ~03:00 UTC.
- Cadhla Dioltas & Aladar Krahn — Garmur / Manticore (3.5): opportunistic duo; active 01:00–03:00 UTC.
- Kayla Starchild — Tengu (3.0): high DPS strategic cruiser in coordinated strikes.
- Purifier taskforce (Constance Navarette et al.) + Ikitursa/Enforcer (4.5): specialist group for high‑value targets; active ~18:00 UTC.
- Torrent Talon — Drekavac (3.8): elite solo striker; observed ~22:00 UTC.
- Aladar Krahn (again) — adaptive Garmur/Manticore (3.0).
Tactics observed
- Baiting (MTU drops), stealth bomber alpha strikes followed by brawlers, fast tackle + burst damage, and opportunistic solo interdictions.
Recommendations (operational)
- Avoid unescorted industrials (Tayra, Sigil) and lightly tanked freighters in Groothese, especially in listed windows.
- Do not transit high‑value or slow ships alone during risk windows; arrange escorts or delay passage.
- Prefer fast‑aligning hulls or interdiction‑counter fits if transit is unavoidable.
- Use dedicated scouts/scanning and maintain safe‑bookmarking practices; assume pilots may be waiting on the gate or in warp.
- If targeted, prioritize warp‑out and one‑button align options; avoid prolonged brawl unless reinforced.
EIN will continue monitoring threat persistence. Exercise heightened caution while operating in Groothese.
