Groothese – 2025-11-03

EIN-Advisory — Groothese (Everyshore, Low-Sec): High-Level Coordinated Predator Activity (Threat Level 4.0)

Date: 2025-11-03 (analysis period 2025-10-27 → 2025-11-03)
System Security: Low-Sec — transit and stationary operations have elevated risk.

Summary

  • Total incidents (period): 20 killmails across 16 unique engagements.
  • Current assessed threat: High — Real Threat Level 4.0 system-wide with episodic 5.0 strikes.
  • Principal hazard: coordinated, professional predator teams employing Black Ops battleships, Strategic Cruisers, Marauders and cloaky/stealth strike hulls. This is purposeful hunting, not random griefing.

Peak risk windows (UTC)

  • Friday: 17:00–18:00 — very high activity (Real Thread 4.5).
  • Sunday: 22:00 onward — major coordinated Black Ops strikes (Real Thread 5.0).
  • Wednesday & Thursday: multiple midday/evening spikes (Real Thread ~4.0).
  • Additional elevated windows: Tuesday 22:00–23:00, Saturday 17:00–20:00.

Notable threat profiles (observed)

  • Black Ops Strike Team (Operation Talos): Karl Rudolf Horse, Vladislav Saken, Ahmya Hina, Daverosh Saissore, W0wbagger — Panthers/Marshal/Black Ops Battleships supported by covert ops (Buzzard). Most lethal thread observed; Sunday night strikes destroyed multiple Talos hulls and capsules. (Real Thread 5.0)
  • Solo/Small-Gang Marauder hunter: Alexis glavor — Babaroga Marauder plus mixed Machariel/Stabber FI activity. Demonstrated high-durability solo kills. (Real Thread 4.5)
  • Strategic Cruiser hunters: Hunter Dredd, Pains Wife et al. — Loki/Ikitursa/Tengu use against other strategic/T2 targets. (Real Thread 4.0)
  • Cloaky strike teams: Aladar Krahn, Cadhla Dioltas — Tholos/Manticore/Garmur compositions used to ambush miners, haulers and capsules. (Real Thread 4.0)
  • Battleship+Recon gangs: Sick Artley et al. — Machariel + Lachesis teams for heavy DPS + E-war. (Real Thread 3.5)
  • Opportunistic high-value hunters: various pilots ganking MTUs and unattended haulers with strategic cruisers. (Real Thread 3.0)

Representative engagements (selected)

  • Kill ID 130951130 / 130951135 / 130952690 / 130952691 (2025-11-02 22:36 → 2025-11-03 00:30 UTC): Coordinated Black Ops strikes destroyed multiple Talos hulls and pods using Panthers/Marshal and covert ops support. Highest-severity activity observed.
  • Kill ID 130917237 (2025-11-01 17:26 UTC): Alexis glavor (Babaroga) solo-kill of a Kikimora — demonstrates Marauder solo capability and elevated Friday risk.
  • Kill ID 130868100 (2025-10-30 14:26 UTC): Tengu destroyed by Loki + Ikitursa — indicates willingness to engage expensive strategic hulls in contested fights.
  • Kill ID 130892733 / 130892752 (2025-10-31 18:37 UTC): Procurer + capsule lost to Tholos — shows cloaky destroyer risk to miners and small ships.

Tactical Guidance (rooted in observed behavior)

  1. Transit caution: Avoid transiting Groothese during peak windows if possible. Sunday 22:00+ and Friday 17:00–18:00 are particularly hazardous for lone/high-value ships.
  2. Do not leave unattended assets: MTUs, anchored modules, and unmanned structures are high-risk and were successfully taken. Do not deploy MTUs in this system.
  3. High-value hulls: Avoid moving Talos, Tayra, Tengu, Marauders, Black Ops or unescorted battleships through the system during peak times. These hulls are explicit targets.
  4. Expect cloaky/Black Ops presence: Covert ships (Tholos, Manticore, Buzzard/Covert) and Black Ops deployment indicate gates, belts and warp-ins may be watched — minimize time spent warping to/from points and do not linger on gates.
  5. Grouping and scouting: Transit in screened groups when possible. Use reliable scouts and pre-warp checks (d-scan/probes) and insist on dedicated scouting for cloaky/Black Ops threats.
  6. Route choice: Consider alternate routes to avoid Groothese during high windows, or move valuable assets at low-risk times (system is lower risk outside the listed peaks).
  7. Capsule/escape planning: Black Ops and Marauder activity increases the likelihood of pod/killing — pilots should plan for safe pod extraction and backup clones in alternate stations if possible.

Immediate watch-list (known names / hulls observed)

  • Black Ops Strike Team: Karl Rudolf Horse, Vladislav Saken, Ahmya Hina, Daverosh Saissore, W0wbagger — Panthers / Marshals (Black Ops BS) + Buzzard.
  • Marauder hunter: Alexis glavor — Babaroga (+ Machariel/Stabber FI mixed gangs).
  • Strategic hunters: Hunter Dredd, Pains Wife, Ena Yleto Yanumano, Vipy Styx — Loki / Ikitursa / Tengu.
  • Cloaky strike pilots: Aladar Krahn, Cadhla Dioltas — Tholos / Manticore / Garmur.

Assessment conclusion
Groothese has shifted from opportunistic ganks to coordinated predator operations centered on high-end hulls and cloaky Black Ops tactics. For routine commerce, mining, or solo PvE/PvP there is a significant and recurring risk — treat the system as a high-threat transit node and plan movements and operations around the windows and profiles listed above.

This advisory is based on the analyst data covering kills through 2025-11-03 and reflects observed activity and named actors within that period.

Recent Advisories

Groothese – 2025-11-18

TL 3.1

Groothese is currently under elevated predatory activity with multiple high-risk engagements and peak windows observed. Despite a high-security designation, tactics resemble low-sec roaming and threaten solo and lightly fitted pilots.

Groothese – 2025-11-17

TL 3.1

Groothese is a volatile Low-Sec hotspot assessed as High Risk, characterized by persistent organized small-gang activity and targeted infrastructure warfare. The threat mix combines opportunistic ganking with deliberate escalation using high‑tier ships, led by two dominant factions: the Rattlesnake-centric Edgar Berdnikow and the Nighthawk-centric Peter Powers, whose encounters are likely lethal without proper preparation.

Groothese – 2025-11-16

TL 3.1

Groothese is a highly contested Low-Sec system with sustained, organized PvP activity and a HIGH THREAT rating of 4.2/5.0. The threat environment is driven by multiple coordinated small-gangs and at least one highly skilled solo battleship pilot, targeting T3 cruisers, Black Ops battleships, and other high-value hulls.

Groothese – 2025-11-15

TL 3.5

Groothese in High-Sec is experiencing elevated, coordinated ganking, with a rolling 7-day threat of 3.5/5 and two persistent actors plus a top operator driving most losses. The principal killers are Artley Group, McBride/Krahn Duo, and Edgar Berdnikow, whose Rattlesnake multi-kill on 2025-11-15 demonstrates premeditated targeting and strong scouting capabilities, with peak risk on weekend late UTC and late-night UTC on weekdays.

Groothese – 2025-11-14

TL 3.3

Groothese is a high-threat Low-Sec chokepoint with two persistent predator profiles actively hunting haulers, exploration ships, and capsules. The EU Prime Time window (17:00–23:00 UTC), particularly Sundays and Mondays, represents the peak risk and can escalate into counter-ganks.

Groothese – 2025-11-13

TL 3.3

Groothese currently hosts a professional, high-risk ganking cell actively targeting high-value hulls, including Marauders and large industrials, under leaders Alexis glavor and Sick Artley. A separate escalation period shows PvP activity, including a Gnosis–Praxis clash, indicating the system can produce sudden localized wars outside the main ganking pattern.

Groothese – 2025-11-12

TL 3.3

Groothese is experiencing concentrated, organized hunting operations by a Black Ops/Tech-III cruiser gang, with occasional Drake Navy Issue support and late-night skirmishers. The primary threat group—Alexis glavor, Sick Artley, and Jason Ozran—employs heavy electronic warfare and webbing to neutralize targets quickly, driving a High Risk level (4.0) during peak evening hours.
