Mannar – 2025-09-27
Mannar — Elevated late‑evening threat from “Aladar Krahn” group (EIN‑Advisory)
Situation: Mannar currently rates Moderate–High (real_thread ≈ 3.5/5). A repeat attacker, identified as Aladar Krahn, and at least one associate (Cadhla Dioltas) have scored multiple kills in a tight time window. Attacks show coordinated tactics, fast‑engaging ships, and capsule destruction after kills.
Key findings
- Primary actor: Aladar Krahn — consistent final blows; prefers small/fast combat ships (Tholos, Garmur). real_thread ≈ 4.5/5 for direct danger.
- Group behavior: Evidence of teamwork (Cadhla Dioltas in a Manticore assisting). Multi‑ship engagements increase lethality (real_thread ≈ 4.0/5).
- Preferred prey: Vulnerable industrials (Venture), but also willing to engage combat ships (Manticore, Vexor).
- Capsule destruction observed after ship kill — podding is an active tactic (real_thread ≈ 3.0/5).
- Time window: Concentrated activity ~20:00–02:00 UTC (peak threat ≈ 4.0/5). A smaller number of kills occurred mid‑morning (≈09:10 UTC).
- Day clustering: Current incidents concentrated around Tuesday/Wednesday.
Advisory / Recommended precautions (rooted in observed behavior)
- Avoid transiting or operating in Mannar during peak hours (20:00–02:00 UTC UTC) where possible—this is when attackers concentrate strikes.
- Industrial pilots (Ventures, haulers, un‑tanked ships): do not operate solo in Mannar during peak times. If you must, use maximal agility, align‑out fittings, and plan immediate warp options.
- Combat pilots: be wary of ambushes involving Tholos/Garmur/Manticore. Presence of those hulls on D‑scan/local should be treated as immediate danger.
- Do not linger on grid after ship loss. Capsule destruction was recorded — warp away instantly on loss of ship and avoid wreck/loot stalls.
- Watch for multi‑ship contacts on D‑scan/local before engaging or undocking; coordinated gangs reduce solo survival odds.
- Prefer travel in pairs/wings or with on‑grid backup during the noted window; otherwise postpone operations until lower‑risk hours.
Bottom line: Mannar is actively contested by a skilled, often coordinated threat centered on Aladar Krahn. Exercise extreme caution during late‑evening UTC hours, protect vulnerable industrial runs, and assume any engagement could include multiple aggressors and follow‑up podding.
