Groothese Threat Advisory — Moderate to High (3.5 / 5.0)

Issued by: Everyshore Intel Network
Period covered: 2025-10-24 → 2025-10-27 (analysis window)

Summary

• Groothese (Low‑sec, Everyshore) currently carries a Moderate→High risk to solo operators and logistics traffic. Activity clusters in two daily windows and is driven by a dominant lone predator and a separate organized T3C hunting crew.
• Primary threats identified by incident data: Aladar Krahn (highly effective lone operator) and a 3‑pilot organized T3 cruiser team (Michel Ferran, Mai Winter, Po Acami). Multiple other smaller gangs/solos operate on overlapping schedules.
• Travelers should apply heightened caution during the two peak windows below; haulers and exposed industrials are the highest‑value targets.

Threat Windows (UTC)

• Peak 1 — Nocturnal: 03:00–05:00 Z — Late USTZ / Early Asian. Highest lethality; dominated by Aladar Krahn (Machariel / Gnosis / Garmur).
• Peak 2 — Diurnal: 12:00–15:00 Z — European midday. Organized T3C activity (Proteus / Legion + Gnosis); focused on cruisers, industrials and higher‑value mid‑tier targets.

Key threat profiles (top lines)

1. Aladar Krahn — Solo/duo hunter: Machariel + Gnosis strikes; primary predator for haulers and low‑tier combat ships. Real threat level: 5.0.
2. Michel Ferran / Mai Winter / Po Acami — Organized T3C group: Proteus/Legion + Gnosis; targets cruisers/industrials at midday. Real threat level: 4.5.
3. Mai Winter (solo) — Opportunistic Gnosis kills around midday. Real threat level: 3.8.
4. Alexis glavor / Sick Artley / Jason Ozran — Machariel + Stabber FI + Lachesis group active nocturnally; heavy punch against tackled targets. Real threat level: 4.0.
5. Alexis glavor (solo) — Stabber FI striking haulers at midday. Real threat level: 3.0.
6. I WARG — Confessor duel(s) around midday; lower systemic risk to non‑participants. Real threat level: 1.5.

Vulnerabilities & Recommended Mitigations (rooted in reported incidents)

• Industrial ships / Haulers (Hoarder, Iteron V, Miasmos, etc.)
  • Risk: EXTREME (4.5) — repeatedly targeted by Aladar Krahn and solo Stabber FI actor.
  • Mitigations:
    • Avoid travel through Groothese during 03:00–05:00 Z entirely for high‑value cargo.
    • Use blockade runners, covert ops haulers, or jump clones staged on the destination side when transporting high‑value loads.
    • If forced to transit during non‑recommended periods, travel empty or in convoy with escorts; align and bookmark safe warped points at gate approaches.
• Cruisers / Battlecruisers / Mid‑tier combat ships
  • Risk: HIGH (4.0) — focus of T3C gang and Machariel groups during 12:00–15:00 Z.
  • Mitigations:
    • Do not loiter on gates or in high‑traffic warp‑in points during midday peak.
    • Fit to minimize tackle consequences: high resists, capacitor stability, and options for warp‑core stabilizers if expected to run out of webs/points.
    • If engaging or transiting, ensure fast align (rigs and fitting to reduce align time) and set safe spots at several AU off each gate.
• Expedition Frigates / Scouts / Low‑tier combat
  • Risk: MODERATE (3.0) — targeted in both peaks by solo hunters and opportunists.
  • Mitigations:
    • Prefer transit during lower activity windows: 06:00–11:00 Z and 16:00–21:00 Z showed statistically lower incident frequency.
    • Use cloaked/stealth options (Covert Ops, T3C cloak) or keep aggression timers/wrappers in mind.
    • Avoid probing directly through Groothese without prior scanning of local grid and d‑scan checks from multiple ranges.

Immediate Actions for Pilots Operating In/Through Groothese

• Avoid the 03:00–05:00 Z window for any cargo runs; midday 12:00–15:00 Z is also elevated for cruisers and higher‑value targets.
• Haulers: use blockade runners or multi‑stage moves (jump‑to‑staging clone) rather than full cargo runs during the reporting period.
• Small gang or solo PvP cruisers: minimize gate camping, use form‑up and intel on align times, and carry a plan to warp off when a Machariel or Proteus gang is suspected.
• Scout behaviour: approach gates from multiple bookmarks with active d‑scan; assume bait scouts and overwatch by Machariels/Gnoses during nocturnal peak.
• Capsule security: pods are being killed in some incidents — consider pod‑kill risk when choosing routes and warping behavior.

Operational Notes / Observed Tactics

• Aladar Krahn’s pattern indicates targeted surveillance and timed strikes using heavy DPS ships (Machariel + support Gnosis). Expect gate‑camp style engagements with rapid kill chains on vulnerable logistics or unprepared cruisers.
• The 3‑person T3C team operates coordinated mid‑day hunts, likely staged and with pre‑scout support; they prioritize higher‑value cruiser and industrial targets.
• Some occurrences appear to be consensual or duel‑style (Confessor v Confessor), but volume of predatory activity dominates risk calculations.

Closing Advisory

• Groothese is an active low‑sec hunting ground at the time of this analysis. Adjust routing, timing, and fits accordingly:
  • Move critical logistics outside 03:00–05:00 Z; reduce mid‑day exposure.
  • Use blockade runners/jump clones for valuable cargo.
  • Fit for fast alignment and resist/cap stability for combat cruisers; avoid lingering on gates.
• This advisory is derived from the incident set covering 2025‑10‑24 → 2025‑10‑27 and reflects observed attacker identities, ship types, and temporal patterns. Reassess operational plans if local conditions change.
