EIN-Advisory: Groothese — Elevated Low‑Sec Hunting Activity (Data window: 2025‑10‑30 → 2025‑11‑04)

Analyst: Everyshore Intel Network

Executive Summary

Groothese (Low‑sec, Everyshore) is currently an active hunting ground. Intelligence from 2025‑10‑30 through 2025‑11‑04 indicates coordinated, high‑skill groups using Strategic Cruisers, Black Ops battleships, Marauders and Triglavian heavy hulls to target both high‑value combat ships (Tengu, Talos, Kikimora) and industrial/logistics traffic (Venture, Procurer, Tayra, MTU). Overall threat level: 3.5 (Elevated Risk).

Key attacker names observed: Karl Rudolf Horse and Panther/Redeemer Black Ops pilots; Aladar Krahn; Sick Artley and Loki associates; Alexis glavor (Babaroga); Ena Yleto Yanumano / Vipy Styx; Hunter Dredd; Pains Wife.

Local Threat Assessment (concise)

• Overall threat: 3.5 — non‑combat and lightly fitted combat hulls face a high probability of loss.
• Most dangerous ship types present: Black Ops battleships (Panther/Redeemer), Strategic Cruisers (Loki, Tengu, Legion), Marauder (Babaroga), Triglavian HAC (Ikitursa).
• Industrial targeting: active and repeated hunting of miners and haulers (Venture, Procurer, Tayra) and MTUs — industrial/logistics traffic is a primary objective for several operators.

---

Temporal Risk Profile (UTC)

• 05:00–07:30 — Moderate (industrial and vulnerable-frigate focus). Aladar Krahn active.
• 07:30–14:00 — Low (brief window; single Loki kill recorded at 07:14).
• 14:00–18:30 — High (US/EU prime period begins; Tengu damage and industrial hits).
• 18:30–00:30 — Very High (peak US/EU prime; Black Ops and coordinated gangs active).

Warning: The 14:00–00:30 UTC window is the most volatile. Operations in Groothese during this period carry significantly higher risk.

---

Top Threat Threads (short)

1. Black Ops gangs (Karl Rudolf Horse + Panther/Redeemer pilots) — highest lethality; coordinated kills on Talos and capsuls. Survival unlikely if engaged.
2. Aladar Krahn — versatile solo/small‑gang hunter using Tengu, Garmur, Tholos, Manticore; repeatedly targets industrial/logistics vessels and MTUs.
3. Loki/Loki‑associates (Sick Artley et al.) — T3 and EW play; capable of taking down other Strategic Cruisers and logistics.
4. Alexis glavor (Babaroga marauder) — high DPS/tank platform used against combat and small targets.
5. Triglavian HAC operators (Ikitursa) and additional Loki pilots — consistent danger to fitted cruisers and larger hulls.

Immediate Mitigation Actions (recommended and grounded in observed behavior)

• Avoid operating in Groothese during 14:00–00:30 UTC whenever possible. If activity cannot be moved, restrict operations to brief, well‑protected missions outside that window.
• Industrial ops: do not run lone miners/haulers in system. If transporting valuable cargo, use minimal signatures, split loads, or defer transit until lower‑risk windows (07:30–14:00 UTC appears safest).
• High‑value hull caution: avoid flying Strategic Cruisers, Battlecruisers, Marauders, or other high‑value combat ships in the system during prime time — these hulls are being actively hunted by Black Ops / T3 gangs.
• Assume cyno and Black Ops capability — do not engage in predictable, stationary behavior (anchored MTUs, unescorted haulers, or repeated gate‑camp transits). Expect rapid escalation.
• Use conservative engagement profile: avoid prolonged fights, do not escalate to higher value assets if contact is made, and favor escape over combat unless you have clear numerical/fit superiority.
• Prefer escorts or multiple pilots for any convoy/industrial job. If solo: limit time in local and use safer staging (keep alts/cloaks/insta‑dock options ready).

Operational Notes

• The mix of Black Ops and T3 Cruisers indicates both organized gang operations and skilled small‑gang hunters. Threats can appear quickly and with high firepower.
• Early morning window (05:00–07:30 UTC) shows targeted opportunistic attacks on low‑ADM or underprotected miners and haulers — caution applies even outside prime time.
• Do not assume any single ship class is safe; attackers demonstrated adaptability (switching hulls to match target types).

EIN Assessment: Groothese is a high‑risk low‑sec hunting ground for the immediate future. Restrict non‑critical activity, avoid prime time, and treat industrial ships and strategic cruisers as high‑value targets likely to be engaged by experienced hunters.
