Mannar – 2025-10-22
Executive Summary
Mannar (Low‑sec, Everyshore): current risk is Moderate (Threat Level ~2.5). The system shows a recurring pattern of opportunistic aggression concentrated in the early UTC morning window (02:00–09:00). Several identified pilots have demonstrated willingness and capability to finish kills (including capsule kills). Exercise heightened caution, especially when operating industrials, expedition hulls, frigates, or leaving deployables unattended.
Key Local Threats (ranked)
-
waxenjoodaddy — Orthrus — Threat 4.0
Profile: Skilled solo hunter; targets industrials (Retriever) and follows through to capsule. Active around ~02:33 UTC.
Response: Avoid solo mining/hauling in retriever‑class hulls at peak times; if caught, expect pursuit and decisive engagement. -
php3ch0 Isu (with Simon Aurio) — Loki + Astero — Threat 3.5
Profile: Coordinated small gang; Loki primary with Astero scout/support. Active ~06:34 UTC.
Response: Treat any Astero contact as potential scout for heavier force. Do not assume lone engagement — align and warp out or call fleet. -
Taul Zion Khamarune — Enyo — Threat 3.0
Profile: Agile, aggressive frigate hunter. Active ~09:03 UTC.
Response: Avoid uncloaked or unfit frigates alone during morning spike; expect fast tackle and alpha. -
Aladar Krahn — Tholos (MTU kill) — Threat 2.5
Profile: Opportunistic asset hunter; unconventional ship choice but hostile to deployables. Active ~16:04 UTC.
Response: Recover or pick up MTUs promptly; don’t leave valuables exposed. -
Unknown attacker (Metamorphosis kill) — Threat 2.0
Profile: Ambiguous — possible suicide gank or unseen attacker. Active ~07:18 UTC.
Response: Haul high‑value cargo with caution; use safes, scouts, or alternative timing. -
Simon Aurio — Astero (support) — Threat 1.5
Profile: Scout/support role; likely cloaked reconnaissance.
Response: Monitor for cloaked activity; assume backup present.
Tactical Recommendations (rooted in observed behavior)
- Avoid high‑value hauling, mining, or exploration solo between 02:00–09:00 UTC.
- If operating vulnerable hulls (Retriever, Expedition frigate, hauler), prefer escorts or fleet ops.
- Use scouts/alt(s) to probe gates and bookmarks before moving assets; treat any Astero sighting as hostile scout.
- Fit for escape: warp core stabs where appropriate, align drills, and plan warp bookmarks. For combat hulls, ensure adequate tank/speed for solo contingencies.
- Recover or avoid leaving MTUs and deployables unattended; consider finishing timers off‑station.
- When engaged: prioritize align+warp out if outclassed; if committed, assume the attacker will press for a kill and possibly pod you.
Operational Note
Incidents are clustered in off‑peak early morning hours but are not limited to them. Maintain consistent D‑scan, local awareness, and conservative risk tolerance in Mannar until patterns change.
