Mannar – 2025-09-30 Monthly Report
Overview
Mannar, a Low-Security system in Everyshore, sustained an elevated threat level throughout September 2025, averaging Threat Level 3.73 (High Risk). The system was actively hunted by two distinct, highly effective small-gang cores, leading to consistent aggression, interdiction, and deliberate capsule targeting.
Key Threat Actors & Victims
Most Noteworthy Killers (8 Max):
- Alexis glavor: Versatile solo and gang hunter (Vigilant, Tholos). Core member of the primary coordinating group.
- Jason Ozran: Primary tackler and heavy damage dealer (Lachesis, Deimos). Core member often securing final blows.
- Sick Artley: Heavy damage and tank specialist (Legion). Active during peak UTC evening strikes.
- Aladar Krahn: Primary solo predator (Garmur, Tholos). Excellent at targeting fragile ships and securing follow-up pod kills.
- Znuts Aurgnet: Strategic cruiser pilot (Proteus). Provided heavy support and was noted for capsule destruction.
- Cadhla Dioltas: Stealth bomber (Manticore). Acted as ambush/support for Aladar Krahn.
- Aladar Krahn Group: Name given to the Krahn/Dioltas partnership.
- Glavor/Ozran/Artley Collective: Name given to the primary coordinated small-gang threat.
Most Noteworthy Victims (3 Max):
- Venture: Industrial/mining ships were frequently targeted by the lighter, faster kill groups (Krahn).
- Manticore: Victims included combat ships, showing that even stealth bombers were pursued and destroyed.
- Vexor: Cruiser-class ships with poor fitting/tank were primary targets for the heavy strategic cruiser gangs (Ozran/Aurgnet).
Noteworthy Group Collaboration
Two primary group structures dominated the activity:
- The Glavor/Ozran/Artley Collective: A coordinated trio (Vigilant/Lachesis/Legion) focusing on EW, warp disruption, and rapid heavy damage. Active primarily during UTC 21:00–22:00.
- The Aladar Krahn Group: Aladar Krahn (Garmur/Tholos) often partnered with Cadhla Dioltas (Manticore) for fast, aggressive strikes against fragile/solo targets, dominant during UTC 20:00–02:00.
Summary of Monthly Activity
September in Mannar was characterized by consistent, high-lethality aggression, primarily concentrated in the late UTC afternoon/evening (19:00–22:00) and early UTC morning (01:00–02:00). The month saw multiple coordinated small-gang hunts. Early month activity was dominated by the heavy-hitting strategic cruiser/HAC group (Glavor, Ozran, Artley, Aurgnet), while later in the month, a shift occurred towards the focused, persistent predatory activity of Aladar Krahn tackling Ventures and other vulnerable solo pilots.
Both hunter groups consistently applied warp disruption and achieved rapid ship destruction, often immediately following up to secure capsule kills. This behavior indicates ruthlessness and an intent to maximize victim loss, making any transit or in-system operation high risk, particularly during peak windows.
Typical Ships Used in the System
Classification Killer Ships (Observed) Victim Ships (Observed) Strategic Cruiser Legion, Proteus N/A Heavy Assault Cruiser/BC Deimos, Vigilant, Tholos Vexor (variants) Disruptor/Logistics Lachesis N/A Frigate/Fast Attack Garmur (F-T), Manticore (B), Tholos (Disr.) Manticore (B), Venture (Indus.), Heron (Explor.) Industrial/Mining N/A Venture, CapsulesTrends
- Shift in Focus: Early month groups utilized heavy strategic cruisers/HACs; later month groups favored fast alpha (Garmur, Tholos) against soft targets.
- Increased Podding: Capsule destruction was a constant, deliberate tactic across all major groups.
- High Predictability: High-risk activities were reliably time-concentrated, allowing pilots to leverage specific safe windows.
- Target Diversity: Attackers engaged everything from Ventures to well-fitted combat cruisers.
Noteable Kills (Max 5)
Specific killmails were not provided, but based on the advisory details, the most noteworthy types of engagement included:
- Strategic Cruiser Gank: Destruction of a cruiser (e.g., Vexor variant) by the coordinated heavy-hitter team (Deimos/Legion/Proteus/Vigilant). (Sept 21-24 pattern)
- Industrial Loss: A solo Venture, Heron, or other vulnerable industrial ship quickly dismantled by a fast-attack frigate (Garmur/Tholos). (Recurring Aladar Krahn pattern)
- Stealth Bomber Elimination: A Manticore or similar combat/ambush ship destroyed, highlighting the hunters' ability to counter-engage well-fitted combat vessels.
- Coordinated Capsule Kill: Any engagement where a pilot loses their ship and is immediately followed up on for the pod kill, indicative of tactical ruthlessness.
- Multi-Ship Collapse: A rapid multi-kill event during the peak UTC evening window (19:00–22:00) where the Glavor/Ozran Collective managed to take down multiple ships in quick succession.
