Mannar – 2025-09-22
Mannar System Advisory — HIGH Threat (Everyshore Intel Network)
Overview
Mannar (Low-sec, Everyshore) is currently assessed as HIGH risk for solo and small-group operators. Recent killmail patterns show repeated use of coordinated tackle/EW plus heavy-damage platforms and a persistent practice of capsule hot-dropping. Transit and operations in-system should assume hostile contact and deliberate capsule targeting.
High-Risk Patterns
- Coordinated gangs mixing warp-disrupt/tackle & EWar (Lachesis, Vigilant) with heavy damage (Legion, Deimos, Proteus). Fast, practiced kill chains observed.
- Solo predators (e.g., Tholos pilots) capable of lethal ambushes against smaller targets.
- Capsule hot-drops are common — expect pods to be targeted immediately after ship kill.
- Peak windows (UTC): ~19:45–19:50, ~21:55–22:00 (high activity); ~10:00 (sporadic solo predator activity). Evening UTC is the most dangerous overall.
Top Threat Profiles (operational summary)
- Alexis glavor — Vigilant / Tholos. High danger: tackle/EW and capable solo ambushes.
- Jason Ozran — Lachesis / Deimos. High danger: primary tackler and burst damage.
- Sick Artley — Legion. High danger: major damage dealer in coordinated runs.
- Znuts Aurgnet — Proteus. High danger: strategic cruiser, observed final-blows on capsules.
Tactical Recommendations (Low-sec appropriate)
- Avoid Mannar during the listed peak windows if possible. If transit is unavoidable, travel in numbers; single ships are prime targets.
- Move valuable cargo in cheap or insured hulls; avoid high-value modules in low-sec transits. Update your medical clone to a secure station outside Mannar.
- Scout and screen: use an agile scout (interceptor/covert ops) to clear gates and bookmarks. Do not assume a lone attacker; multiple hostiles often appear.
- Fit for escape: fast align, full inertial/small signature or cloak-capable hulls. Consider warp core stabilizers only as part of a travel-fitted ship—note this does not stop smart-bombing or focused EWar.
- If tackled: expect capsule targeting. Prioritize pod survival where mission/ISK value warrants — eject from ship quickly if you have a chance to warp your pod to a safe or station.
- Avoid solo anomaly/mining ops in Mannar; use safer systems or fleet up. Strategic cruisers and HACs in hostile hands favor short fights — do not brawl or extend when outnumbered.
Closing
Mannar’s attackers are adaptable and ruthless. Plan routes and fittings around evasion and redundancy, not toughness. Fly with caution and assume your capsule is a prize to any aggressor in-system.
