EIN-Advisory: Groothese — High Threat in Everyshore Low-Sec

Date: 2025-10-03 | System: Groothese (Everyshore) | Threat Rating: 4.0 → 4.5 (Peak)

Summary

  • Groothese is an active hunting ground in Everyshore. Assessed at real_thread 4.0 overall, rising to 4.5 during identified windows. Multiple professional solo hunters and small gangs operate here; occasional larger swarm actions have been recorded. Treat all local pilots as potentially hostile.

Peak Temporal Windows

  • Early UTC morning: 01:00–04:00 — consistent, highly effective solo and small-gang operations (primary activity from the Dioltas Group and Krahn-Tholos actors).
  • Later UTC evening: 18:00–23:00 — intermittent larger, coordinated actions (notably an Ikitursa + Purifier swarm at ~18:00).

Principal Threat Actors (observed)

  • Aladar Krahn — Tholos (high-skill solo hunter; frequent capsule and ship kills).
  • Cailin Dioltas — Loki (stealthy, rapid strikes against vulnerable ships).
  • Cadhla Dioltas — Garmur (fast tackle/damage support; coordinates with Dioltas/Krahn).
  • Kayla Starchild — Tengu (heavy Tech III damage role in coordinated hits).
  • Evilelmo — Ikitursa leading Purifier swarm (larger-group alpha-strike capability).
  • Torrent Talon — Drekavac (powerful Triglavian solo opportunist).

Observed target set

  • Wide: exploration frigates (Imicus, Prospect), haulers/industrials (Tayra, Sigil), combat cruisers (Caracal Navy Issue, Rokh), MTUs, and capsules. Lack of target discrimination increases risk to most ship types.

Immediate Recommendations (Low-Sec operational posture)

  • Avoid Groothese during 01:00–04:00 UTC and 18:00–23:00 UTC where possible.
  • If transit is necessary: travel in fleet/wing; maintain warp readiness and align bookmarks; avoid loitering.
  • Keep D-Scan active and watch for signatures of Loki/Tengu/Tholos/Garmur/Ikitursa/Purifier/Drekavac.
  • Do not deploy MTUs or leave salvage/containers unattended. Mobile structures are actively hunted.
  • Industrial/hauling runs: reroute or hire escort; un-tanked freighters and expedition fits are high-risk.
  • Assume hostility on contact; prioritize escape options (points, covert ops, interdiction countermeasures) over engagement unless prepared.

Operational Note

  • Attacks show both high individual skill and coordinated small-gang doctrine. Solo pilots in unarmored or lightly tanked ships are especially vulnerable. Larger swarm events can overwhelm even prepared targets.

EIN will continue to analyze activity patterns and publish further advisories as trends evolve. Stay cautious in Everyshore low-sec airspace.

Recent Advisories

Groothese – 2025-11-20

TL 3.1

Groothese (Everyshore) is a high-risk low-sec system under sustained predation, with a local Threat Level of 3.5. The attack pattern is dominated by Edgar Berdnikow and Peter Powers, with support from T3/BC pilots targeting mobile structures and DSTs.

Groothese – 2025-11-19

TL 3.1

Groothese is currently under elevated, localized threat driven by two active cores: a morning feud between Peter Powers and Edgar Berdnikow, and an afternoon/evening ganking cell called the Gnosis Group. Analyst data classifies Groothese as likely High-Security based on ship profiles, but the combat and asset-denial activity create Low-Sec style risks, so operations should be treated with heightened caution.

Groothese – 2025-11-18

TL 3.1

Groothese is currently under elevated predatory activity with multiple high-risk engagements and peak windows observed. Despite a high-security designation, tactics resemble low-sec roaming and threaten solo and lightly fitted pilots.

Groothese – 2025-11-17

TL 3.1

Groothese is a volatile Low-Sec hotspot assessed as High Risk, characterized by persistent organized small-gang activity and targeted infrastructure warfare. The threat mix combines opportunistic ganking with deliberate escalation using high‑tier ships, led by two dominant factions: the Rattlesnake-centric Edgar Berdnikow and the Nighthawk-centric Peter Powers, whose encounters are likely lethal without proper preparation.

Groothese – 2025-11-16

TL 3.1

Groothese is a highly contested Low-Sec system with sustained, organized PvP activity and a HIGH THREAT rating of 4.2/5.0. The threat environment is driven by multiple coordinated small-gangs and at least one highly skilled solo battleship pilot, targeting T3 cruisers, Black Ops battleships, and other high-value hulls.

Groothese – 2025-11-15

TL 3.5

Groothese in High-Sec is experiencing elevated, coordinated ganking, with a rolling 7-day threat of 3.5/5 and two persistent actors plus a top operator driving most losses. The principal killers are Artley Group, McBride/Krahn Duo, and Edgar Berdnikow, whose Rattlesnake multi-kill on 2025-11-15 demonstrates premeditated targeting and strong scouting capabilities, with peak risk on weekend late UTC and late-night UTC on weekdays.

Groothese – 2025-11-14

TL 3.3

Groothese is a high-threat Low-Sec chokepoint with two persistent predator profiles actively hunting haulers, exploration ships, and capsules. The EU Prime Time window (17:00–23:00 UTC), particularly Sundays and Mondays, represents the peak risk and can escalate into counter-ganks.
