Mannar – 2025-10-08
EIN-Advisory: High-Risk Activity in Mannar — Titan and Loki Active (Low‑Sec)
Situation
- Recent killmails from Mannar confirm two hostile player actors operating in-system during low-traffic UTC hours:
- 2025-10-03T03:22:38Z — V1ctorovich (Loki) destroyed an Astero.
- 2025-10-04T01:55:57Z — MtnDew Baja Blast (Ragnarok) destroyed a Moros Navy Issue.
- Other nearby deaths had no identified attackers and are excluded from threat profiling.
Threat Profiles
- MtnDew Baja Blast — Ragnarok (Titan)
- Threat level: 5.0 — Absolute capital-level danger.
- Intelligence: Presence of a Titan on-grid against a Dreadnought indicates capability and willingness to engage high-value capitals. Capital pilots in Mannar face near-certain loss if caught alone or without overwhelming response force.
- V1ctorovich — Loki (Tech‑3 Cruiser)
- Threat level: 3.5 — High threat to sub-capitals.
- Intelligence: Loki destroyed a cloaky/explorer-class Astero. Expect cloaky hunting, tackle, and high DPS fits targeted at smaller, solo pilots.
Pattern
- Activity observed during late-night / early-morning UTC window (~01:00–04:00 UTC), on Friday and Saturday. This appears to be an exploitation of low local traffic periods.
Operational Advisories (Low‑Sec context)
- Timing: Avoid solo high-value movements through Mannar between 01:00–04:00 UTC on weekends where possible.
- Capitals: Do not transit or operate capitals (dreadnoughts, carriers, FAX) in Mannar without decisive fleet support. Presence of a Ragnarok constitutes an existential threat.
- Sub‑capitals & Explorers: Exercise extreme caution vs. cloaky T3 cruisers. Maintain active D‑scan, safe bookmarking, and be prepared to warp out immediately on suspicious signatures or sudden probes.
- Travel posture: Prefer fleet movement, scouts at range, and align-to safe spots. Solo operations are strongly discouraged during the observed hours.
- Detection: Prioritize directional/D‑scan discipline and slow, non-predictable routing to avoid bait warp-ins.
Summary
Mannar is currently hosting both a Titan-capable actor and a skilled Tech‑3 hunter. The system should be treated as high-risk for both capital and solo sub‑capital operations, especially during the identified late-night UTC window. Remain vigilant and plan operations accordingly.
