Mannar – 2025-10-10
EIN-Advisory: Immediate Titan Threat — Ragnarok confirmed in Mannar (2025-10-04)
Executive Summary
On 2025-10-04 two losses in Mannar within a ten-minute window signal an elevated danger to low‑sec traffic. Most critical: a Moros Navy Issue was finished by a Ragnarok piloted as "MtnDew Baja Blast." Presence of a titan-class asset in Everyshore low‑sec is an uncommon and highly lethal escalation. A separate Rapier loss with no attacker data remains anomalous.
Key incidents (UTC)
- 01:46:19 — Zed Zucker, Rapier destroyed. No attackers recorded (data gap/anomaly).
- 01:55:57 — Seig Hart, Moros Navy Issue destroyed. Final blow from "MtnDew Baja Blast" (Ragnarok).
Threat assessment
- Immediate & extreme for capital pilots and high‑value ships within Mannar. A single Ragnarok can deliver devastating, targeted strikes.
- Pattern: early UTC morning operation (01:46–01:56). Likely chosen for reduced local activity or a narrow operational window.
- Unclear whether titan acted solo or with support; capital‑hunting behavior and system dominance are primary concerns.
Advisory / Recommended actions (rooted in observed data)
- Avoid Mannar and immediate neighboring low‑sec conduits until further movement of the Ragnarok is confirmed.
- Capital and sub‑capital pilots: refrain from transiting Mannar; delay unattended jumps/cynos. Do not bridge or cyno into Mannar without decisive allied capital support.
- Move vulnerable assets to safer staging if possible; restrict undocking of high‑value hulls during early UTC morning hours matching the observed window.
- When movement is unavoidable, use scouting, concealment (no open cyno), and staggered windows outside the 01:40–02:00 UTC timeframe. Expect rapid, overwhelming force if engaged.
- Treat Rapier loss with empty attacker array as an intelligence anomaly — exercise extra caution around unexpected engagements and anomalies in kill reporting.
Intelligence gaps
- Affiliation and broader force composition of "MtnDew Baja Blast" unknown.
- Cause of Rapier loss without attacker data unresolved.
EIN Assessment: Mannar currently hosts a high‑order threat capable of capital annihilation. Exercise maximum caution; protect capitals and high‑value hulls until the titan presence is accounted for or neutralized.
