Date: 2025-10-19
Summary
Mannar (low-sec) shows recurring hostile activity concentrated in late UTC afternoon/early evening and sporadically in the early UTC morning. Attacks range from opportunistic ganks on industrial/frigate targets to small-gang strikes against cruisers. Pilots transiting or operating in Mannar should exercise extreme caution during identified windows and when known aggressors are present.
Peak Threat Windows (UTC)
- 16:00–20:00 — Primary spike: coordinated small-gang and solo advanced-ship attacks (examples: Augoror Navy Issue kills, MTU kills).
- 06:00–09:00 — Secondary spike: fewer but dangerous solo attackers (examples: Catalyst, Endurance losses).
Targets observed
- Frequent: Velator, Heron, Mobile Tractor Unit (MTU), Endurance — opportunistic/low-survivability targets.
- Occasional: Augoror Navy Issue, Catalyst — shows willingness to engage T2 cruisers and fitted combat ships.
Named High-Risk Aggressors (threat level)
- Alexis glavor — High (Tholos): marauder-class platform; small-gang striker capable of destroying T2 cruisers. Disengage on contact.
- Bombardio Crocodilo — Significant (Vagabond): fast, hard-hitting solo cruiser; avoids confrontation if caught unprepared.
- php3ch0 Isu — Elevated (Loki): T3 versatility with gang coordination; serious threat with support.
- Taul Zion Khamarune — Moderate (Enyo): agile frigate, high DPS;危险 to lone or slow targets.
- Aladar Krahn — Moderate/Significant (Tholos): marauder used even on low-value MTU — indicates readiness to escalate.
- Powny Black — Low-Moderate (participant in small gangs; pod/crew engagements observed).
Tactical Recommendations (low-sec context)
- Avoid Mannar during peak windows if possible, especially in valuable or fragile hulls.
- Keep active D-scan and check local on jump; scan immediately on gate/micro-warp arrival.
- Fit for survival: warp core stabs, interdiction countermeasures where applicable, and active tank modules.
- Fly disposable/replaceable hulls for hauling/industry; travel in convoys when moving assets.
- Expect gate camping — be prepared to warp off on landing and avoid prolonged station/structure loitering.
