Adeel – 2025-10-30
Analyst: Everyshore Intel Network
Date: 2025-10-30
System: Adeel (Low-Sec, Everyshore Region)
Executive Summary
A professional stealth hunter successfully engaged and destroyed a cloaked Anathema in Adeel on 2025-10-30 10:46:55 UTC. The attacker — Cillian Dioltas flying a Manticore (Stealth Bomber) — executed a coordinated decloak-and-bomb intercept. Real Thread rating for this event is 4.5/5.0; Adeel’s current practical threat to unaware pilots: 4.0. Local pilots should assume active scanning and tracking inside Adeel and treat transit through the system as high risk, especially for cloaked and lightly tanked ships.
Event Snapshot
Timestamp (UTC) Victim Attacker (final blow) Attacker Ship Thread Level 2025-10-30 10:46:55 Anathema (Friedrich Von Imhoff, Covert Ops) Cillian Dioltas Manticore (Stealth Bomber) 4.5 / 5.0 (Lethal)Pattern context: coordinated interception from stealth (likely decloak+tackle then bomb); suggests pre-placed tackle methods (combat probes, cyno inhibitors, mobile assets, or concealed collocated tackle).
Threat Profile & Local Warnings
- Primary threat actor: a skilled solo stealth hunter (callsign: “Adeel Stalker” in local profile). Operates with anti-cloak capability and precision bombing tactics.
- Primary targets: covert ops and other cloaked/explorer/scout ships (Anathema, Helios, covert Blockade Runners), and secondarily lone industrials or lightly tanked haulers using predictable routes.
- Operational window confirmed: late-morning EUTZ / early USTZ (event at 10:46 UTC). Expect activity in similar windows — avoid predictable morning transit times.
- System status: Low-sec — no CONCORD; gate/stargate transits and uncloaked warps carry high risk.
Current local threat level to non-combatants: HIGH (4.0). Do not assume safety inside Adeel.
Tactical Advice (rooted in observed T-130864806 characteristics)
General rules for all pilots transiting Adeel:
- Do not autopilot. Always manually approach gates and celestials.
- Use D-scan before and during warps; watch for combat probes, probes on D-scan, and any mobile structures on overview.
- Avoid predictable warps (standard bookmarks, gate-to-gate short warps). Use random celestials, distance warps (>100–200 km), or off-grid bookmarks where possible.
- Do not linger in-system. Transit quickly through Adeel and minimize loiter time in warpable positions.
Specific guidance by ship type:
- Cloaked Explorers / Scouts (Anathema, Helios, etc.):
- Do not decloak or warp to predictable bookmarks while alone.
- Align to a safe spot or celestial before decloaking; have an escape vector and pre-aligned warp-out.
- Consider postponing non-essential exploration through Adeel during morning EUTZ windows.
- Blockade Runners / Light Haulers:
- Treat Adeel transit as hostile if single-ship. Avoid running high-value cargo alone through the system.
- Travel with combat escort if cargo value justifies risk.
- Combat Roamers / PvP ships:
- Expect an experienced hunter to be present; consider scouting for mobile cyno inhibitors or probe signatures before committing.
- If hunting in-system, prioritize probe sweep and mobile structure checking; the hunter may be prepared with decloak-tackle combos.
- New/Unfitted Industrials or Miners:
- Do not use Adeel as a shortcut during known active hours. Use alternate low-sec routes or null-sec/low-sec bridges if available.
Anti-hunter checklist before entering Adeel:
- D-scan clear for probes/ships, check local for unusual names if possible.
- Check for mobile structures or cyno inhibitors in system using probes/scanners.
- Use unpredictable warp-ins; set at least one private safe bookmark not near gates.
- Keep warp core stabilizer mechanics (align, speed) in mind — do not attempt risky maneuvers without an escape plan.
Operational Window & Pattern
- Confirmed event: Thursday, 2025-10-30 at 10:46:55 UTC (late-morning EUTZ / early USTZ).
- Interpretation: hunter exploits morning overlap when pilots are logging in or moving assets. Peak hunter window confirmed — extra caution during similar local times advised.
Conclusion / Bottom Line
Adeel is presently a high-risk low-sec transit for cloaked and lightly tanked ships. The successful Manticore ambush demonstrates professional capability to defeat cloaks and intercept predictable transits. If you must operate in Adeel: minimize exposure, avoid standard warp-ins, travel with escorts for valuable cargo, and treat the system as actively hunted — morning hours (around 10:00–12:00 UTC) are especially hazardous.
Stay tactical. Assume you are being scanned and tracked in-system.
