EIN-Advisory: Groothese (Everyshore) — Severe Threat; Avoid Peak Windows, Scout & Escort Required

Executive Summary
Groothese (low-sec, Everyshore) is currently at a System Threat Rating of 4.0 — severe interdiction/high risk. Multiple skilled small‑gang hunters are actively patrolling and executing coordinated kills using high‑alpha faction cruisers/battleships and Tech‑3 cruisers (notably Babaroga, Machariel, Ikitursa, Loki, Tengu). Transit or operations of high‑value assets in Groothese carry a significant probability of encountering organized gangs.

Key Observed Actors (highest involvement)

• Alexis glavor — primary system hunter (Babaroga, Stabber FI, Machariel). Highly active and lethal.
• Aladar Krahn — heavy interdiction (Tholos, Tengu, Garmur). Often pairs with Cadhla.
• Cadhla Dioltas — frequent collaborator with Aladar and Alexis (DPS/support in small gangs).
• Supporting single‑pilot threats: Hunter Dredd (Loki), I WARG (Confessor), Vipy Styx (Ikitursa).

Peak Threat Windows (UTC)

• Monday: 12:00–23:00 — High (4.5) — widespread hunting across EUTZ->USTZ.
• Thursday: 14:00–23:00 — High (4.0) — T3/Tiered cruiser activity.
• Saturday: 05:00–18:00 — Extreme (4.7) — strongest sustained activity and coordination.
  Lower risk: early morning/late night on Tue/Wed/Sun, but vigilance still required.

Observed Target Set

• Industrials (Miasmos, Procurer), MTUs, Miners, Frigates, Capsules, E‑war ships, and even T3 cruisers. Attackers strike indiscriminately — everything from cheap frigates to expensive T3s is targeted.

Advisory Actions (Grounded in Analyst Data)

1. Avoid transits in peak windows

   • Do not move high‑value ships, cargo, or assets through Groothese during Monday 12:00–23:00 UTC, Thursday 14:00–23:00 UTC, or Saturday 05:00–18:00 UTC. If movement is unavoidable, treat it as high‑risk.

2. Scouting is mandatory

   • Always scout the gate/system with a cheap, fast scout (interceptor or cloaked covert ops frigate) before any jump. Probe for multiple signatures and watch for bubbles/warp disruptors. If Alexis glavor, Aladar Krahn, or Cadhla Dioltas appear in local, assume nearby ambush teams.

3. Travel configuration recommendations

   • Industrials/Miners: Use covops/clipper/comfortable interceptor escort where possible. Do not linger; haul during low windows only. Fit tank for instant alignment/warp (no mid/long engagements). Consider using bulky modules that limit value at risk (smaller hauls).
   • Frigates/Explorers: Use cloaks or interceptors for gate checks; avoid solo low‑value frigate roam without backup.
   • T3s/Combat Ships: Expect dedicated counters (Ikitursa/Loki/Babaroga). Travel with as much remote support/escort as available; avoid probing or collapsing into setups that allow alpha strikes.

4. Tactical behavior in‑system

   • Align to a celestial or safe, keep capacitor and warp ready. Use bookmarks at 200–300 km from gates and celestials to reduce predictable warp points.
   • Use scatter warp points and avoid warping to 0 on commonly used celestials without prior d‑scan checks.
   • If engaged by heavy DPS (Machariel/Babaroga/T3 mix), do not assume prolonged fight — expect high‑alpha removal and smart target‑priority tactics.

5. Expect high‑end, optimized kits

   • Attackers deploy faction/triglavian/T3 ships in optimized roles — their doctrine is not “kitchen sink.” Fit and plan for high‑alpha and high DPS bursts. Ship choices that cannot survive one or two alpha hits are especially vulnerable.

6. Movement mitigation options

   • Time moves for low activity windows (Tue/Wed/Sun late night UTC), use dedicated escorts, or route around Groothese if operationally feasible.
   • For infrastructure (mining/MTU) operations: avoid leaving MTUs/loot unescorted; minimize on‑grid exposure and recover valuable assets quickly.

Immediate Indicators of Danger (from Analyst Patterns)

• Presence of Alexis glavor, Aladar Krahn, or Cadhla Dioltas in local — assume multi‑ship ambush imminent.
• Multiple fast/logically fitted T3s or faction cruisers in local or on the gate — do not jump.
• E‑war or tackle frigates landing with heavy DPS T3s on grid — immediate warp off or cloak up.

Closing Note
Groothese is actively hunted by a compact, skilled harassment/small‑gang group with demonstrated lethality across ship classes. The safest posture is avoidance during peak windows, mandatory scouting, and moving high‑value assets only with sufficient escort and contingency plans. Remain conservative: assume any local presence could be part of a coordinated team.
