EIN-Advisory — Mannar: High-Risk Transit Window After Redeemer Gank-Fleet Surge

Date: 2025-11-13
System: Mannar (Everyshore Region)
Threat Level: Elevated — pockets of Thread Level 5.0 (Guaranteed Death) observed

Summary

• Mannar experienced a concentrated, highly organized ganking campaign during the period 2025-11-07 → 2025-11-13, with a major spike centered on 2025-11-08 (UTC).
• The highest activity occurred in the early UTC morning on 2025-11-08 between 07:50–09:12 UTC (11 incidents), driven by a coordinated Black Ops Battleship force using Redeemers, supported by stealth bombers and recon assets.
• Attacking pilots repeatedly employed overwhelming alpha-strike tactics against vulnerable cruisers, strategic cruisers and industrials; several follow-up counter-brawls also produced rapid, chaotic losses.
• Although Mannar is recorded as high-security in the source data, recent behavior is consistent with low-sec style operations; treat transit through Mannar with low-sec caution.

Active Threat Entity (ATE)

• Identified: “Redeemer Gank Fleet”
• Reported primary pilots: Krimson Serenity, Ronnie Cordova, CaptainSarge, Hippaforalkus Alteranus
• Composition & tactics: Multiple Redeemers (Black Ops Battleships) with Arazu (Force Recon) support and Manticore/Purifier stealth bombers. Rapid-strike, high-alpha attacks often on decloak or gate jumps; potential use of covert cynos or tightly coordinated gate tactics.
• Primary targets observed: T1/T2 cruisers (e.g., Osprey), strategic cruisers (Tengu, Loki), attack battlecruisers (Naga), and industrials.

Notable Patterns / Threads

• Thread 1 — Osprey Massacre: 3 Osprey kills within 32s using multiple Redeemers (Guaranteed Death).
• Thread 2 — Recon/Strategic Cruiser Picks: Arazu, Tengu, Loki and Naga picked off by Redeemer + stealth bomber teams (Guaranteed Death).
• Thread 4 — Localized Counter-Brawl: Rapid escalation with mixed frigate/cruiser losses (Loki, Orthrus, Stiletto) following main gank runs (Serious Engagement).
• Thread 5 — High-Priority Objective: A redacted/unknown high-value target drew a diverse 14-ship response (Machariel, cruisers, destroyers) — indicates Mannar was a focal point for large force projection that day.
• Thread 6 — Isolated Hunter: Single Ishtar hunter scored Navy Exequror + capsule kills days later — indicates lone hunters remain active after the main event.

Operational Impact

• Transit risk: Very high for fragile hulls (covert ops frigates, cruisers, industrials) during the observed active window.
• Engagement risk: High — attackers demonstrated capability to eliminate cruisers almost instantly; counter-engagements in system create fluid and dangerous close-range fights.
• Cargo/asset movement: Not safe to haul high-value goods solo through Mannar during the threat window.

Recommended Immediate Actions (grounded in observed intel)

• Avoid transit through Mannar during the primary risk window: 07:50–09:12 UTC (early UTC morning), particularly on weekends and the Saturday indicated in the data (2025-11-08).
• Do not move industrial ships, valuable cargo, or fragile T1/T2 cruisers alone through Mannar during or immediately after observed attack windows.
• If transit is unavoidable:
  • Travel in groups with combat-capable escorts; one or more tacklers/point-controllers and heavy DPS reduce likelihood of instant alpha kills.
  • Preferably use cloaked/covert-transit (Covert Ops/black ops capable) or warp directly to safe bookmarks; avoid predictable gate-warp behavior.
  • Maintain warp alignment and have an immediate warp-off plan; avoid prolonged align/warp times near gates.
  • Keep local and D-scan discipline; multiple red ships or bombers on scan should be treated as immediate threat.
  • Use tank and logistics appropriate to survive alpha strikes where possible — high EHP alone may not stop Redeemer alpha, so group/escort is critical.
• Avoid engaging in spontaneous local counter-brawls; the system produced rapid ally/enemy turnover and unpredictable escalation.
• Restrict non-essential operations (industry, commerce, scouts) in Mannar until pattern subsides.

Intelligence Caveats

• Larger fleet/battle events recorded did not include alliance/corporation tags in the provided data; attackers and defenders are identified primarily by pilot names and ship fits. Where alliances/corps are unknown, treat engagements as unpredictable multi-actor flashpoints.
• The primary spike occurred on 2025-11-08 UTC; future recurrence is possible during similar early-UTC windows.

Bottom line
Mannar has recently been the site of concentrated, high-alpha ganking using Redeemers and stealth bombers. Transit during early UTC mornings (notably the 07:50–09:12 UTC window observed) is hazardous for solo or lightly protected ships. Avoid hauling or flying fragile cruisers through Mannar at those times; if passage is required, move with prepared escorts, discrete tactics, and readiness to warp-off immediately.
