Mannar – 2025-11-15
Analyst: Everyshore Intel Network
System: Mannar (Low‑sec, Everyshore)
Summary
- Mannar has produced a pattern of targeted, professional-level aggression over the last week. Attacks cluster in the late evening UTC window between 21:00 and 22:03, with two multi-kill events on Thursday and Friday.
- Aggressors are operating Heavy Assault Cruisers (Vagabond, Ishtar) and a Force Recon (Enforcer). All recorded kills include destruction of escape capsules — attackers are actively hunting pods.
- Average assessed threat rating for active aggressors: 4.23 — system classified as HIGH DANGER for solo/unprepared pilots during the noted hours.
Recent incidents (sample)
- 2025-11-11 21:01 UTC — Tasaro Sunji — Vagabond — capsule destroyed.
- 2025-11-13 22:01–22:03 UTC — Sien Motsu — Ishtar — Exequror Navy Issue + capsule destroyed.
- 2025-11-14 21:09–21:12 UTC — Znuts Aurgnet — Enforcer — Imicus explorer + capsule destroyed.
Threat profile (what this means)
- Vagabond (HAC): fast, high burst DPS; effective at chasing and finishing pods.
- Ishtar (HAC): heavy drone projection for sustained area pressure and tackle control.
- Enforcer (Force Recon): highest assessed threat here — flexible weapons, extended E‑War reach and covert capabilities make it suited to ambushes and pod hunting in low‑sec.
- Consistent pod kills indicate attackers possess dependable tackling (scram/web) and follow‑through to eliminate capsules. Cloaked/covert tactics are likely.
Tactical advisory (do this if you must be in Mannar)
- Avoid Mannar between 21:00–22:03 UTC on Thursdays and Fridays. If you can, reroute entirely during these windows.
- If entry is unavoidable:
- Travel in a prepared wing/fleet rather than solo. Bring point/tackle coverage and enough DPS to contest HACs/Enforcer.
- Do not run vulnerable exploration frigates or single‑pilot haulers through the system in that window.
- Use thorough D‑scan and probe sweeps on arrival. Assume covert-capable ships may be present; use multiple angles and short range checks before warping to cans or signatures.
- Do not warp directly to cans, wrecks, or anomalies without first scanning and clearing the approach. Pre-warp bookmarks, aligned vectors, and a clear warp‑out plan save pods.
- Fit for survival: consider tankier/combat hulls, point resistance, and warp core stabilizers where appropriate; bring local tackle/logi if operating in small gangs.
- Consider clone strategy and implant risk management: attackers are killing capsules — treat pods as vulnerable.
- Keep safes/warpin bookmarks outside main celestial approaches and use them when making quick exits.
What we are not saying
- This advisory is based on a small but consistent sample of recent engagements. It does not assert the presence of a large fleet or named alliance backing — only the observed pilots and ship classes listed above.
Bottom line
Mannar is operating at a High Danger level for late‑evening activity, especially on Thursday and Friday nights between 21:00–22:03 UTC. Avoid the system then or enter only with combat‑capable support and strict scan/approach discipline — attackers will hunt both ship and capsule.
