EIN Advisory — Groothese: Elevated Hostile Activity, Multiple Active Hunter Groups

Summary

• Intelligence (2025-10-09 → 2025-10-14) rates Groothese as Elevated threat in low-sec. Multiple, distinct attacker profiles are active with recurring engagement windows. Exercise extreme caution when operating in-system, especially in small or unescorted ships.

Observed high-risk time windows (UTC)

• Weekday late evenings: 20:00–00:00 (notable activity 20:00–20:30 on Oct 9; 20:30 on Oct 10)
• Weekday early mornings: 01:00–04:00 (notable: 01:55 and 03:22 on Oct 9/10)
• Weekend mid-morning: 10:00–12:00 (spike 10:50–11:45 on Oct 11)
• Late-night opportunistic: ~23:00 (23:08 on Oct 12)
• Mid-afternoon emergence: ~17:25 (Oct 14)

Active threat profiles (short)

1. Blackwell / Ambraelle / Delisle / Horse syndicate — Threat 4.5 (High, coordinated)

   • Uses Raven, Widow, Praxis. Multiple capital/battleship engagements recorded. Small/unescorted targets are at severe risk; avoid direct contact.

2. Krahn / Dioltas duo — Threat 4.0 (Severe, agile)

   • Tholos + Garmur. Repeated, rapid strikes on varied targets (MTU, Thrasher FI). High burst/ew potential; fast hunters, dangerous in low-sec.

3. Ironman journey — Threat 3.5 (Medium-High, opportunistic)

   • Algos used to pick off miners/industrials (Venture kill at 20:30 UTC). Evening hours are risky for miners.

4. Dejan Estemaire — Threat 3.0 (Medium)

   • Gnosis solo kill of Iteron V at 23:08 UTC. Gnosis can threaten freighters/haulers when operating alone.

5. Gertrud ToD — Threat 2.5 (Medium, specialized)

   • Khizriel capsule kill at 17:25 UTC indicates willingness to finish off escaping pilots; be mindful after engagements.

6. Unattributed incident — Threat 1.0 (Low / unknown)

   • Nalia Delisle’s Hawk destroyed with no attackers logged. Could indicate non-player hazards or unrecorded aggression.

Actionable guidance for low-sec operations in Groothese

• Avoid solo, unescorted mining or hauling during the listed peak windows. High-risk ships: Ventures, unarmed industrials, unscouted frigates.
• If you must transit: travel in groups or with scouts/escorts capable of handling fast frigates and EW threats.
• Use fast warp-to bookmarks and maintain good sensor discipline (d-scan, safespots, align bookmarks). Assume EW/neutralize tactics from Tholos-class fits.
• If engaged, prioritize pod survivability — recorded capsule kills indicate follow-through after ship kills.
• Delay high-value ops (capital movement, expensive fittings) until alternate routing or escort is available.

Closing
Groothese shows multi-modal hostile activity with coordinated heavy forces and agile hunters operating on different schedules. Plan movements around the time windows above, avoid high-value or vulnerable solo operations, and prefer escorted or delayed actions until threat activity stabilizes.
