EIN-Advisory: Groothese System — HIGH THREAT (Everyshore)

Threat Level: HIGH — Low-sec transit through Groothese is currently hazardous. Recent killmail patterns show active hunters targeting primary hulls then finishing with Capsule kills. Treat the system as hostile, especially during identified peak hours.

Key Observations

• Peak activity: Weekends (Sat/Sun) late afternoon → evening UTC (examples at 20:04 UTC and 22:14 UTC).
• Secondary activity: Early week opportunistic strikes (example at 01:15 UTC Tuesday).
• Pattern: Predators frequently follow a primary ship kill with an immediate Capsule kill — re-shipping into the system or attempting recovery is likely to result in rapid re-engagement.

Immediate Tactical Advisories

• Avoid transits through Groothese during weekend evening UTC if possible.
• Do not re-enter the system immediately after losing a ship; predictable returns are being punished.
• Use scouts/fast frigates or aligned ships for warpouts; cloak and align-to-warp discipline reduces catch probability.
• Travel in numbers or with dedicated tackle/point removal if you must pass through; lone industrials, frigates, or unscouted transports are high-value targets.
• Expect competent hunters with both high-speed and heavy brawl capability — prepare for both hit-and-run and gate-camp style engagements.

Profiled Threats (from recent data)

1. Peter Powers — Character ID 179004085 — Tholos (real_thread 4.5)
   • Heavy brawler, engaged Venture then Capsule; high lethality.
2. Aladar Krahn — Character ID 2119947844 — Garmur (real_thread 4.0)
   • Fast, agile hunter; secured Imicus then Capsule; dangerous to frigates/industrials.
3. Dejan Estemaire — Character ID 2113053476 — Gnosis (real_thread 3.8)
   • Battlecruiser capable of interdicting transports (Viator victim).
4. Gertrud ToD — Character ID 1652553329 — Khizriel (real_thread 3.5)
   • High-performance combat vessel; Capsule kill observed. Note: ship identifier may be nonstandard — treat as capable.
5. Arbonger Ibruin — Character ID 2123470827 — Venture/Capsule (real_thread 1.0) — Victim example.
6. WorldOfBattle — Character ID 2123837565 — Imicus/Capsule (real_thread 1.0) — Victim example.

Bottom Line
Groothese is an active hunting ground. If your operation depends on safe transit (transport runs, solo exploration, mining, courier work), reroute when feasible and avoid weekend-evening UTC windows. If passage is unavoidable, prepare scouts, aligned warp-off plans, and consider traveling escorted or in groups. Remain disciplined about re-appearing in-system after losses — predators are exploiting predictable behavior.
