Adeel Advisory — Opportunistic Harassment: MMJU Destroyed by Tengu Pilot Peter Powers
Summary
- Event: Unpiloted Mobile Micro Jump Unit (MMJU) owned by Migom was destroyed in Adeel by pilot Peter Powers (Character ID: 2112895805) flying a Tengu.
- Time: 17:06:06 UTC, Monday 22 Sep 2025 (prime European/early US window).
- System: Adeel — Low-Security.
Immediate assessment
- Threat level: Medium–High for pilots deploying or leaving assets unattended in Adeel.
- The target was an unpiloted utility structure; attacker demonstrated willingness to destroy non-combat deployables to deny utility or harass.
- Attacker platform: Tengu — adaptable Tech III cruiser capable of varied roles (PvP, scouting, long-range engagement, good tank). This suggests opportunistic, prepared single-ship harassment rather than isolated PvE misfire.
Top active threads (based on this incident)
- Opportunistic PvP/Harassment: targeting undefended deployables or pilots busy with non-combat tasks.
- Asset denial: removing jump points/utility to frustrate or delay opponents.
- Recon/Pre-Op activity: destruction of MMJU could be part of scouting or shaping the battlefield.
- System instability for deployable operations: Low-sec environment with active solo hunters.
Actionable guidance (rooted in observed activity)
- Avoid deploying MMJUs, mobile depots or other removable structures in Adeel during high-traffic hours (around 16:00–19:00 UTC) unless you can defend them.
- Treat any unpiloted structure as a likely target; if deployment is necessary, ensure fleet support or set up rapid-recover procedures.
- Transit with scouts or in pairs; a lone logistic-less ship is an easy target for opportunistic pilots.
- Use bookmarks and off-grid safespots for staging; keep high-value modules/ships in secure storage when not actively used.
- Expect adaptable cruiser-class aggressors (e.g., Tengus) and prepare fits/escorts accordingly — assume they can switch engagement ranges and tank setups.
- Maintain vigilance for reconnaissance activity before and after structure deployments.
Limitations
- This advisory is based on a single verified incident. Patterns are provisional; treat the time/activity note as suggestive, not definitive.
Bottom line
Operate with caution in Adeel. Unpiloted deployables are vulnerable — if you must use them, do so with defensive contingencies and outside prime activity windows whenever possible.
