Groothese – 2025-10-11
Groothese — High-Risk Advisory (Real_Thread 4.0)
Date: 2025-10-12
System: Groothese (Everyshore) — Low-Sec
Summary
- Groothese is an active combat zone. Threat level: High (4.0). Expect scanning, interdictions and coordinated ambushes. Activity is sustained, not sporadic — unescorted or complacent pilots are at severe risk.
Peak Risk Windows
- Weekdays (Mon–Fri observed): 17:00–22:00 UTC
- Weekends (Sat–Sun observed): 21:00–02:00 UTC
- Lower (but still non-zero) activity: 03:00–08:00 UTC
Observed Tactics & Targets
- Coordinated gangs of 2–6 pilots using strategic and heavy combat ships (Loki, Tengu, Leshak, Ikitursa, Hecate, Lachesis) and interception/stealth platforms (Pacifier, Stiletto, Garmur).
- Opportunistic targeting of MMJUs, MTUs, ventures and industrials alongside deliberate PVP against combat ships and capsules. Persistence observed against repeat victims.
Named High-Risk Actors (observed)
- Alexis glavor — highly active, versatile, uses Leshak/Ikitursa/Garmur; central in many engagements. (real_thread 4.8)
- Jason Ozran — frequent wingmate of Alexis; Hecate/Lachesis support and targeting. (4.5)
- Sick Artley — Loki/Legion operator; adaptable and dangerous in coordinated attacks. (4.0)
- Evilelmo — Ikitursa/Loki; heavy-hitter who delivers final blows. (3.9)
- Roime — Hyperion and Pacifier; stealth/opportunist capable of surprise kills. (3.5)
- Peter Powers — capable solo in Tengu/Legion; opportunistic predator. (3.0)
Recommended Actions
- Avoid Groothese when possible, especially during peak hours. Reroute if you can.
- Do not run industrials, haul valuable cargo, or leave MTU/MMJU unattended in peak windows.
- If transit is unavoidable: travel in a combat-ready ship you can afford to lose or in a small wing. Fit adequate tank, propulsion, and modules to contest webs/scrams.
- Scout ahead using an alt in an interdiction or stealth platform before bringing valuable assets into-system. Assume cloaked scouts and active scans are present.
- Prefer convoys or multiple-ship transits; lone pilots are prime targets.
Final Note
Groothese is currently patrolled by experienced, coordinated aggressors. Exercise extreme caution, restrict high-value operations, and plan around the stated peak hours.
