Mannar – 2025-09-25
EIN-Advisory: Mannar System — HIGH Threat (Low‑Sec)
Summary
The Mannar system represents a HIGH threat to pilots. Recent kill data shows coordinated hunter‑killer squads operating in predictable UTC windows and actively pursuing pod kills after ship destruction. Exercise extreme caution when transiting or operating inside Mannar.
Threat Overview
- Active, coordinated hunter‑killer squads documented; engagements spike during European/American prime hours.
- Victim set ranges from frigates to cruisers and strategic cruisers. Capsule (pod) kills are frequent immediately after ships are destroyed — attackers press advantage to maximize loss.
Primary Engagement Windows (UTC)
- Evening: 19:00–22:00 (notably Thursdays & Fridays) — highest risk, coordinated gangs.
- Morning: 09:00–10:00 — smaller, capable solo hunters.
- Early morning: 01:00–02:00 — occasional, effective late‑night strikes.
Top Threat Profiles (concise)
- Alexis glavor — Vigilant / Tholos. Versatile; operates solo and in gang with Jason Ozran & Sick Artley. Capable of final blows and pod chases. Active across peak windows.
- Jason Ozran — Lachesis / Deimos. Core EWAR/support and damage pilot in primary gang. Presence elevates engagement lethality.
- Sick Artley — Legion. Primary heavy damage/tank in the gang; typically present during mass evening strikes.
- Aladar Krahn — Tholos / Garmur. Fast, decisive hunter; operates solo or paired with a bomber (Cadhla Dioltas). Expect surprise grabs on small, agile targets.
- Znuts Aurgnet — Proteus. Strong solo/pair threat with good follow‑up for pod kills.
- Cadhla Dioltas — Manticore. Stealth bomber support; likely cloaked alpha or follow‑up damage when paired.
Tactical Recommendations (Low‑Sec)
- Vary routes and gate approaches; avoid predictable habits.
- Scout or approach cloaked when possible before committing to activities in Mannar.
- Assume hostility: do not linger, and keep warp/align ready at all times.
- Fit for survival: prioritize warp core stabilizers on vulnerable hulls; be ready with propulsion mods and emergency warp tools. Consider modules that improve align/warp times and signature control.
- Travel with backup or a dedicated scout during peak windows; small gangs here are highly lethal.
- Monitor Local closely for profiled names; their appearance correlates with active hunting cycles.
Stay cautious. Mannar is actively hunted — survival favors unpredictability, speed, and readiness to disengage.
