Adeel – 2025-11-02
Issued: 2025-11-02
Region: Everyshore (Low-Sec)
Threat Rating: Moderate / Highly Specialized — 3.5 / 5.0
Executive summary
- Adeel is operating under a Local Warning State (CODE YELLOW). Intelligence confirms a small, organized hunting entity identified by recurring pilot names "Cillian Dioltas" and "Cadhla Dioltas."
- Activity volume is low but tactically sophisticated: fast, coordinated strikes using cloaky stealth bombers (Manticore) and high-speed pirate frigates (Garmur) have successfully killed vulnerable and cloaked targets.
- Primary danger window observed: 03:00–05:00 UTC (with an additional incident around 10:00 UTC). Pilots in covert or slow ships face the highest risk.
Key indicators and observed threads
Thread ID Date/Time (UTC) Victim Attacker Key Ships Threat Level Notes T-1 (Cloaky Hunter) 2025-10-30 10:46 Anathema (covert) Manticore 4.0 Cloaked explorer intercepted and killed — implies scanning/probing or pre-existing tracking. T-2 (Garmur Blitz) 2025-11-01 03:51 Vexor (cruiser) 2× Garmur 3.5 Rapid interdiction by small, fast frigates — favors quick alpha strikes and disengage. T-3 (Capital Presence) 2025-11-01 04:05 Unknown/structure (?) Moros Navy Issue 2.5 Capital-class asset appeared on a killmail; suggests occasional projection of heavy force but not primary vector against solo subcaps. T-4 (The Name) All Kills Various Cillian/Cadhla Dioltas 4.5 Recurrent Dioltas names indicate a motivated, repeat hunting entity. Treat the name as a high-threat contact. T-5 (Attacker Type) All Kills Various Manticore, Garmur(s) 3.0 Preference for stealth bombers and fast pirate frigates; avoids protracted engagements. T-6 (Victim Type) All Kills Anathema, Vexor — 1.0 Victims were vulnerable or lightly supported — system penalizes unprepared solo/expedition pilots.Threat posture and behavior
- This is a hunting/ambush pattern rather than indiscriminate ganking: attackers select vulnerable targets and strike rapidly.
- The confirmed ability to kill a cloaked Anathema indicates either effective scanning, prior tracking, or use of covert detection tactics.
- Presence of named pilots associated with multiple kills suggests persistence and local familiarity with the system.
Operational windows
- Peak observed activity: 03:00–05:00 UTC (late US / early EU timezones).
- Secondary activity observed around 10:00 UTC (mid EU timezone).
- No robust weekly pattern established from the limited sample, but exercise heightened caution during listed times.
Advisory — Recommended actions for pilots transiting or operating in Adeel
- High caution: Treat any appearance of the name "Dioltas" in Local as indicative of an active hunt. Consider immediate evasive routing or delay of non-essential operations.
- Avoid high-risk ships: Do not operate cloaky explorers, expedition cruisers, or other slow-aligning, high-value solo assets in-system without escort during the identified danger windows.
- Movement profile: Use ships with very short align times or high warp speed; prefer fast aligns, cyno-free travel methods where possible, and move in pairs or small wings rather than solo when transiting low-sec.
- Detection posture: Increase D-Scan discipline and keep probes/scan equipment cleared or stowed when moving cloaky ships. Be particularly wary of Manticore and Garmur signatures; their presence precedes targeted strikes.
- Timings: If operations can be scheduled, avoid Adeel during 03:00–05:00 UTC and 10:00 UTC windows when feasible.
- Defensive options: If operating valuable assets, ensure recon or backup is on standby and plan immediate-exit options. Expect aggressors to disengage quickly rather than brawl.
Closing note
Adeel remains a low-sec system where a small, focused hunting cell has demonstrated both capability and persistence. The risk to cloaky and vulnerable ships is significantly elevated; conventional combat fleets face a lower relative threat but should remain aware of reported activity. Stay cautious and adapt movement and fitting choices to reduce exposure.
