Mannar – 2025-09-26
EIN-Advisory: Mannar — Low‑sec Threat Bulletin (19–24 Sep 2025)
Summary
- Mannar has seen steady opportunistic piracy and small‑gang hunter activity over 19–24 Sep 2025. Activity is concentrated in two daily windows and driven by a small set of repeat aggressors. Exercise heightened caution when transiting or operating in-system.
Observed Threat Windows
- UTC 19:00–21:00 (Friday peak: 19:45–20:00) — Coordinated small gang (high threat to all ship classes).
- UTC 01:00–02:00 & 20:00–21:00 — Solo/dual hunters active (moderate–high threat to small, lightly tanked ships).
Anomalous Event
- Single Vexor loss (23 Sep 09:10Z) with no attackers recorded. Possible self-destruct, NPC/environmental factor, or reporting anomaly. Treat unexpected losses as plausible.
Top Identified Threats (profiles from killmail analysis)
- Aladar Krahn — Tholos / Garmur — HIGH. Versatile; shifts between heavy and high‑speed frigate tactics. Active late UTC evening / early morning (20:11Z; 01:55–01:56Z).
- Jason Ozran — Deimos — MODERATE‑HIGH. Uses heavy assault cruiser for decisive strikes. (19:47Z).
- Znuts Aurgnet — Proteus — MODERATE‑HIGH. Strategic cruiser support in the hunter‑killer group. (19:47–19:49Z).
- Cadhla Dioltas — Manticore — MODERATE. Stealth bomber tactics; potential alpha or harassment role. (01:55Z).
5–6. Other participants in the referenced engagements contributed to coordinated kills; vessels included frigates/cruisers and at least one battleship (Tholos) indicating willingness to pursue higher‑value targets.
Operational Advice (rooted in observed patterns)
- Avoid transits during the listed active windows where possible, especially Fridays UTC 19:45–20:00 and UTC 01:00–02:00.
- Use D‑Scan and check local immediately on system entry; assume cloaked hunters and bomber threats.
- Industrials/miners (e.g., Ventures) are high‑value targets — do not AFK mine or fit complacent mids.
- Keep clear warp‑to‑safes and a low‑value clone if you operate frequently in Mannar; capsule kills were recorded.
- Consider cloaked or small‑gang transit for valuable cargo; plan for fast extraction if engaged.
Analyst note
- Repeat actors and consistent timing suggest local aggression patterns. Pilots operating to/from Mannar should adopt conservative movement profiles and assume active hunting behavior during the stated windows.
