Groothese — CRITICAL PK THREAT: Avoid Low‑sec Transit During Peak UTC Hours

Overview
Groothese (Everyshore) has seen a marked escalation in coordinated player‑killer activity (Threat Level: CRITICAL — 4.5/5.0). “Real_thread” scoring for recent engagements is consistently high (4.0–5.0): once engaged by identified actors, survival chances are low. This system is unsafe for unescorted industrials, explorers and light combat ships.

Observed temporal patterns

  • Daily peaks: 17:00–20:00 UTC (primary) and 22:00–01:00 UTC (secondary).
  • Weekend/early‑week surge: highest volume on Sunday 5 Oct and Monday 6 Oct; sustained presence throughout the week.
  • Additional spikes in normally quiet hours (e.g., 01:55–03:22 UTC on 10 Oct; 10:50–11:43 UTC on 11 Oct). Be cautious at all hours.

Top hostile threads to avoid (sampled by signature & tactics)

  1. Alexis glavor & associates — Thread 5.0
    • Ships: Vigilant / Nergal (assault frigates), Legion; Lachesis (HIC/Interdictor) support. Highly coordinated; multi‑kill patrols.
  2. Roime — Thread 4.5
    • Ship: Pacifier (covert ops frigate). Fast, surgical ambushes on small targets.
  3. Peter Powers — Thread 4.0
    • Ships: Tengu / Legion (strategic cruisers). Versatile, high‑skill solo hunter.
  4. Thequietwhore & team — Thread 4.0
    • Ships: Tengu, Loki, Arazu, etc. EW + high damage composition.
  5. Evilelmo & HooKz — Thread 3.5
    • Ships: Loki + Stiletto. Interceptor to deny escape + heavy damage.
  6. Cadhla Dioltas & Aladar Krahn — Thread 3.5
    • Ships: Tholos, Garmur (assault frigates). High burst damage; active in unsociable hours.

Tactics observed

  • Interdictor/HIC usage to prevent warp escape.
  • Cloaky/covert hunters for surprise kills.
  • Small, high‑damage skirmish fits to quickly destroy fragile targets (industrial and exploration ships and even pods).

Operational guidance (rooted in the above data)

  • Avoid Groothese when possible, especially 17:00–20:00 UTC and 22:00–01:00 UTC.
  • Do not transit in cheap haulers, exploration frigates, or unescorted T1 ships.
  • If travel is necessary: use cloaky/covert caps or combat‑fit escorts; align fast, bookmark safe spots, and keep a warp‑ready cycle.
  • Fit appropriate modules for escape: warp core stabilizers / align aids where mission roles permit; keep tank and mobility balanced.
  • Treat any warp‑in as hostile until proven otherwise — interdictor presence is likely.

Conclusion
Groothese is currently dominated by experienced, organized PKs with a demonstrated history of lethal, coordinated engagements. Exercise extreme caution: avoidance is the safest option; any operations in‑system should assume a very high probability of lethal contact.

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.
