EIN-Advisory — Groothese (Everyshore) — Elevated Predatory Activity; Avoid Peak Windows

Date: 2025-10-28
Advisory Level: Significant Danger — Local Threat 3.5 (High)

Executive Summary

• Groothese is experiencing coordinated, high-efficiency predation focused on industrial/transport and solo explorers. Activity concentrates in repeated UTC windows: Early morning (03:00–05:00) and a mid-day weekend spike (13:00–15:00 UTC on Saturdays).
• Attack profiles include multi-boxed Cruisers/Battlecruisers (Gnosis, Machariel) and T3 Cruisers (Proteus, Tengu, Legion) executing ganks and cloaky hunting. Several named pilots show repeat, high-success behavior (see Top Threats).
• Travel or operations through Groothese without preparation carry a high risk of loss during identified windows.

Threat Windows (Highest Risk)

• Friday 03:00–05:00 UTC — CRITICAL: repeated, high-efficiency industrial and rookie ganking (highest single-window danger).
• Saturday 13:00–15:00 UTC — CRITICAL: coordinated T3-cruiser & Gnosis wolfpack activity; rapid application of force.
• Secondary exposures: Sunday 08:00–12:00 UTC (moderate), Wednesday 03:00 (early-morning hunter), Thursday 19:00 and Monday/Tuesday isolated industrial incidents.

Primary Threat Actors (observed)

• Aladar Krahn — Machariel / Gnosis / Garmur — Industrial/capsule predator. Real_Thread 4.8. Repeatedly targets transports in early morning windows.
• Michel Ferran — Proteus — Wolfpack coordinator (mid-day weekend runs). Real_Thread 4.5.
• Mai Winter — Gnosis — Tactical enforcer in coordinated gangs. Real_Thread 4.0.
• Alexis glavor — Stabber Fleet Issue / Machariel — Versatile interceptor for transports and midsized targets. Real_Thread 3.5.
• Sick Artley — Machariel — Heavy late-night hitter. Real_Thread 3.0.
• Kush Alien — Stratios (covert ops) — Cloaky hunter/stalker of explorers. Real_Thread 3.0.

Vessel Vulnerabilities (observed)

• Industrials/Transports (Miasmos, Iteron Mk V, Tayra, Hoarder): Extreme vulnerability — primary targets during early-morning window.
• Small combat/exploration (Astero, Ibis, Atron, Confessor): High vulnerability — often hunted by cloaky pilots and opportunistic gankers.
• Cruisers/BCs (Vexor Navy Issue, Flycatcher, Gnosis): Moderate vulnerability to coordinated T3/Machariel gangs.

Operational Recommendations (rooted in observed data)

• Avoid Groothese during the two critical windows where possible: Friday 03:00–05:00 UTC and Saturday 13:00–15:00 UTC. If transit cannot be postponed, expect high probability of immediate aggression.
• Do not run valuable industrial cargo through Groothese solo during critical windows. Use alternative routes where feasible.
• When transit is required, prefer heavily tanked transports or the mitigation recommended in the analysis (blockade runners or similarly protected logistics). If using blockade runners or fitted transports, ensure alignment and bookmarks to reduce tackle time.
• For PvE/exploration: do not run solo Astero/VNI content within the identified windows. Cloaky hunters and T3 wolfpacks are actively scanning down targets.
• If moving high-value assets, employ organized escort with overwhelming local force (HACs, T3 logistics or multiple heavy damage ships) rather than ad hoc single-ship escorts.
• Maintain strict timing discipline: move during low-activity windows (outside those identified above) and avoid predictable schedules that match known attack patterns.
• Exercise extreme caution when loitering on gates/stations — cloaky scouts and covert cynos are present in observed incidents.

Tactical Notes

• Attacker tactics: high-skill pilots using rapid-application platforms (T3 cruisers, Machariel, Gnosis) and cloaky scouts. Expect short engagement windows and coordinated tackle + alpha.
• Do not assume low ship count implies low threat — many incidents are high-efficiency, small-team operations.

Bottom Line
Groothese is an active, organized hunting ground with repeat offenders focused on industrial and exploration traffic. Treat all transit through the system as high risk during the identified windows and only operate there with appropriate mitigation (route avoidance, heavy tanking, or organized escort).
