Groothese – 2025-10-07

Groothese — Elevated Predator Activity; Avoid Peak Hours (EIN-Advisory)

Date: 2025-10-07
System: Groothese (Everyshore, Low-Sec)
Analyst: Everyshore Intel Network

Executive Summary
Groothese is exhibiting elevated and persistent hostile activity, peaking in the UTC afternoon/evening window (17:00–23:00). Threat actors range from opportunistic solo hunters to organized, multi-ship hunter-killer groups. A pronounced pattern of capsuleer hunting immediately after ship destruction has been observed — capsule kills follow ship kills with notable frequency. Transit in high-value ships, covert-ops, stealth bombers, industrials, and mining frigs is particularly risky during peak hours.

Current Threat Posture

  • System-wide threat: Elevated (real_thread ranges from Moderate to High depending on hour and opposition).
  • Peak danger: 17:00–23:00 UTC (consistent heavy killmail activity).
  • Secondary activity: 01:00–08:00 UTC (opportunistic attacks).
  • Weekend and recent Monday spikes indicate persistent or pre-positioned hunter presence.

Key Threat Signatures and Immediate Mitigation

  1. "Alexis glavor" & "Jason Ozran" (Garmur / Vigilant / Lachesis / Nergal / Tengu / Legion / Tholos) — real_thread 4.5

    • Highly organized multi-role gang with tackle, EWAR and follow-up capsule hunting.
    • Mitigation: Avoid engagement; immediate warp or cloak if encountered. Do not linger on gates or undocks.

  2. "Evilelmo" group (Purifier / Ikitursa / Leshak / Hecate / Hyperion / Oneiros / Ares) — real_thread 4.0

    • Uses multiple stealth bombers plus heavy hitters and logistics/support; capable of sustained, surprise strikes.
    • Mitigation: Extreme caution when multiple cloaked or heavy signatures present; assume coordinated trap.

  3. "Peter Powers" (Nighthawk/Tengu) with "Cailin Dioltas" (Loki) — real_thread 3.5

    • Proficient solo/small-gang hunters; opportunistic and effective against industrials and small ships.
    • Mitigation: Maintain warp core stability, avoid predictable gate/station patterns.

  4. "Roime" / "Sick Artley" / "Jason Ozran" (Pacifier/Loki/Lachesis) — real_thread 3.0

    • Specialized in intercepting stealth bombers (Nemesis/Tholos). Two Nemesis kills recorded in one evening.
    • Mitigation: Stealth bomber pilots should reroute or fly with robust intel/escort alternatives.

  5. "Torrent Talon" (Drekavac) — real_thread 2.5

    • Solo heavy-hitting battleship; dangerous but limited by mobility.
    • Mitigation: Avoid direct engagement unless numerical or tactical superiority exists.

  6. "Aladar Krahn" (Tholos) — real_thread 2.0

    • Solo stealth bomber preying on miners and small ships; capsule follow-ups recorded.
    • Mitigation: Miners/industrials should assume the presence of covert hunters and be ready to warp.

Operational Recommendations (Low-Sec Context)

  • Avoid transiting Groothese 17:00–23:00 UTC without capable escort or extreme covert options.
  • Stealth bomber and covert ops pilots: reroute where possible; if operating in-system, use unpredictable approach vectors, staggered undocks, and immediate cloaking/warp protocols.
  • Industrial/mining pilots: consider alternative routes or operation windows outside peak times; fit for instant warp and align to a safe.
  • Solo pilots and small gangs: do not loiter on gates or undock points; expect rapid, coordinated tackle + follow-up capsule hunters.
  • If engaged or targeted, prioritize immediate escape (warp/cloak) over prolonged engagement — several observed groups prioritize capsule kills after ship kill.

Final Note
Groothese represents a sustained predator environment in low-sec. Exercise heightened caution, especially during identified peak windows and when operating fragile or high-value hulls. Regular monitoring of local activity patterns is advised to detect changes in attacker composition or tactics.
