Groothese – 2025-10-08
EIN Advisory — Groothese (Everyshore) | Threat Assessment: 3–7 Oct 2025
Summary
- Based on recent kill activity in Groothese, the system is currently HIGH RISK for transit and operations. Coordinated hunter-killer groups operating in small-to-medium gangs and skilled solo hunters have repeatedly struck industrials, stealth bombers, and combat ships across EUTZ/USTZ overlap hours. Low‑sec conditions mean gate camps and rapid escalation are likely.
Local threat rating: HIGH — "real_thread" ~3.5–4.5 during peak windows. Unescorted, slow, or stealth-signature ships face the greatest danger.
Primary threat actors (observed)
- Alexis glavor — multi-ship leader (Vigilant / Garmur / Nergal + gang roles). Threat: 4.5
- Sick Artley — Loki / Legion / Lachesis support. Threat: 4.0
- Jason Ozran — Garmur / Hecate / Lachesis. Threat: 3.8
- Peter Powers — Nighthawk / Tengu / Legion (solo hunter). Threat: 3.5
- Roime — Pacifier / Hyperion (specialist vs stealth). Threat: 3.0
- Cailin Dioltas — Loki opportunist. Threat: 2.5
Observed tactics
- Small, versatile gangs mixing T3 cruisers, assault frigates and support cruisers.
- Repeated targeting of stealth bombers (Nemesis) and industrial/hauler hulls.
- Both coordinated multi-ship ops and effective solo hunters (Vigilant, Tengu, Nighthawk).
- Asset denial strikes on deployables (MMJUs).
High-risk windows (local / UTC)
- Friday 21:00–22:30 UTC (peak escalation)
- Saturday 17:00–18:00 UTC and from ~22:30 UTC
- Sunday 19:30–20:30 UTC
- Early EUTZ mornings (~06:00–08:00 UTC) show recurring activity
Actionable guidance (low‑sec operations)
- Avoid Groothese when possible; reroute through less-trafficked systems.
- If transit is unavoidable:
- Do not travel alone. Move in competent, aware groups.
- Use fast/agile ships; avoid slow industrials and unescorted haulers.
- Employ scouting alts to jump ahead where available.
- Fit warp core stabilizers on vulnerable hulls, but expect multiple disruptors in ambushes.
- Exercise extreme caution at gates and stations — gate camps and rapid follow-up attacks are common.
- Treat stealth ships as vulnerable; Nemeses and other bombers have been repeatedly hunted.
- Consider delaying non‑urgent logistics during the listed peak windows.
Closing
Groothese currently hosts persistent, skilled predatory activity. Exercise maximum caution, minimize single-ship logistics, and time operations outside the noted windows where possible. Stay safe, Capsuleers — low‑sec is unforgiving.
