EIN-Advisory: Mannar — Black Ops Gate-Camp / Hot-Drop Threat (Critical 07:00–10:00 UTC)

Analyst: Everyshore Intel Network
Analysis Period: 2025-11-07 → 2025-11-11 (observations centered on 2025-11-08)

Executive Summary

• Mannar (Low-Sec, Everyshore) experienced a concentrated, high-lethality Black Ops hot-drop campaign on 2025-11-08. The core threat is a Redeemer-class Black Ops fleet supported by Force Recon (Arazu), Stealth Bombers (Manticore/Purifier), and E-war/tactical cruisers.
• Peak operational window recorded: Saturday, 07:50–09:15 UTC (majority of hostile actions occurred here). Advisory transit window extended to 07:00–10:00 UTC for conservative protection.
• Threat Level: CRITICAL during the window (Thread/Threat Level 4.0–5.0). Outside the window, threat returns to typical low-sec skirmish levels.

Observed Actors (from recorded engagements)

• Redeemer (Black Ops): Krimson Serenity, Hippaforalkus Alteranus, CaptainSarge — core drop-capable anchors.
• Arazu (Force Recon): Orias Meek — covert cyno/drop deployment and E-war functionality.
• Stealth Bombers: tigerpr0n, CptSarge — covert cyno and high-alpha torpedo strikes.
• Strategic Cruisers and support: Loki/Tengu involvement (Zu Tsang), Exequror Navy Issue/Celestis (support and E-war).

Tactics & Signature

• Primary mode: Covert cyno hot-drops onto exposed or isolated targets at or near gates/structures. Redeemer presence implies organized, high-capacity strike capability able to instantly turn low-sec engagements into near-certain losses for vulnerable ships.
• Support suite includes Arazu for covert cyno and sensor/E-war, stealth bombers for torpedo alpha strikes and additional covert cyno options, and sensor-damp logistics to prevent target response and escape.
• Attacks targeted fragile logistics/recon hulls (Osprey, Anathema, Arazu) and also successfully killed higher-value T3 Strategic Cruisers (Tengu, Loki) when opportunities presented.

Immediate Advisory (Required Actions)

• Avoid transit through Mannar between 07:00 and 10:00 UTC until further notice. The group’s observed habitual timing favors EUTZ/RUTZ primetime boundary operations; assume recurrence on similar schedules.
• Assume covert cynos are available and will be used. Do not assume a gate is safe simply because no fleet is visible.
• Do not travel in fragile, non-combat hulls (logistics, covert ops, tech I cruisers) through Mannar during the advisory window.
• If transit is unavoidable:
  • Use interdiction-nullified or cyno-protected routing when possible (nullified/special modules do not negate a Black Ops drop but can mitigate some interdiction tactics).
  • Use fast, small, and highly-aligned ships capable of instant warp-off (high align time builds) — avoid camping at gates or structures.
  • Avoid loitering in warp-in points: align and warp between safes; do not jump through to dockless ships or structures without pre-planned escape options.
  • Expect heavy E-war (sensor damp, dampening—Celestis) and bomber alpha; fit for remote rep/use appropriate tank/velocity mods.

Recommended Ship Postures & Fits (general guidance)

• Do not use Ospreys, Anathemas, Arazu, or other paper thin hulls for transit during the window.
• Preferred transit frames: small, fast frigates or T1/T2 interceptors with instant warp capabilities (align < 2s), or fully tanked combat ships with immediate contingency plans (logoff/warp to station).
• If operating combat/logistics in Mannar outside the window, maintain cloak/cover & assume opportunistic hot-drops; always have a warp-off plan and probe for cynos if tactical doctrine allows.

Operational Notes & Risk Levels (by encounter)

• Full Redeemer Black Ops drop onto an isolated target = Threat Level 5.0 (near-guaranteed loss of unprepared targets).
• Engagements involving Arazu + Redeemer or Loki/Tengu skirmish gangs = Threat Level 4.0–4.5 (extreme danger).
• Mixed cruiser/destroyer gangs with E-war = Threat Level 3.0 (high threat for non-combatants).
• Lone small-gang activity = Threat Level 2.0 or lower (moderate); still hazardous for logistics/recon ships.

Context & Limitations

• Activity appears to be by an organized, well-funded strike group using Black Ops doctrines. Specific larger alliance affiliations were not conclusively observed in the sample set; reporting identifies individual pilot names and hull types from recorded kills.
• This advisory is based on the 2025-11-07 → 2025-11-11 observation window and the documented events concentrated on 2025-11-08. Patterns suggest scheduled/recurring operation times but do not guarantee future timing.

Bottom Line

• Treat Mannar as HIGH-RISK during 07:00–10:00 UTC. Reroute or delay nonessential transits. If you must pass, use the fastest, most evasive profiles available and assume a covert hot-drop capability on any exposed target.
