EIN-Advisory: Mannar — Elevated Late-Evening Predator Activity (2025-11-13 → 2025-11-17)

Analyst: Everyshore Intel Network
System: Mannar (Everyshore Region, Low-Sec)
Assessment Period: 2025-11-13 to 2025-11-17
Real Threat Level for Unescorted Travelers: 3.5 — Elevated Risk / Serious Threat

Summary

• Mannar is exhibiting low-volume but highly effective predatory activity concentrated in late UTC evening hours. Attackers are specialized, professional, and target unescorted pilots across ship classes. Two recorded engagements show “double-tap” kills (ship then capsule), indicating intent to deny survival and extract maximum value from each engagement.
• Given Mannar’s low-security status, these predator profiles are optimized for quick strikes and gate/station ambushes. Treat transits through Mannar as high-risk during identified windows.

Key Activity Patterns

• Highest-risk window: Weekdays (especially Wed/Thu) between 21:00 — 22:30 UTC. Observed presence of an Ishtar and an Enforcer working independently but effectively in that window.
• Secondary activity: Monday evenings around 18:00 — 18:30 UTC, with Tactical Destroyer (Hecate) hunting smaller, unarmored targets.

Aggressor Profiles (most active / most dangerous)

1. Sien Motsu — Ishtar (Heavy Assault Cruiser) — Threat 4.5
   • Capable of sustained, high-ISK drone engagements; defeated an Exequror Navy Issue and secured capsule kill. Operates ~22:00 UTC.
2. Znuts Aurgnet — Enforcer (Force Recon) — Threat 4.0
   • Stealthy, E-War-capable hunter. Eliminated an Imicus and capsule. Operates ~21:10 UTC.
3. Luigius Sublime — Hecate (Tactical Destroyer) — Threat 3.0
   • Fast, lethal to small/slow ships. Operates ~18:25 UTC.

Victim Profile (observed)

• Father Biff — Exequror Navy Issue (Cruiser-class): indicates willingness to engage and defeat non-fragile combat vessels.
• Achoutte Aubaris — Imicus (Frigate): confirms targeted attacks on specialist/soft hulls.
• Zara Lars — Velator (Corvette): opportunistic strikes on low-value traffic.

Operational Notes / Indicators

• Double-tap behavior (ship + pod) occurred in multiple incidents — attackers are committed to denying escape.
• Enforcer presence implies cloaked approaches and sudden E-War/tackle; expect engagements to begin with little or no broadcast warning.
• Ishtar deployments indicate strong drone projection and the ability to sustain fights until target neutralization.

Recommended Mitigations for Transit and Operations

1. Assume you are being scouted. Any unescorted hull in Mannar can be targeted—plan routes and timings accordingly.
2. Travel escorted where possible. Even a single combat-capable wingmate materially reduces risk.
3. Avoid the 21:00–22:30 UTC window on weekdays (especially Wed/Thu) for unescorted transits. If transit is unavoidable, increase vigilance and speed.
4. At gates and undock points:
   • Align to a safe spot/warp destination immediately.
   • Maintain optimal warp speed and safe align; don’t sit on grid.
   • Be suspicious of commonly-used ambush locations (gates, cans, belts) given lack of engagement location data.
5. Counter recon/heavy drone profiles:
   • Against Enforcers: expect covert/instant tackle and E-War; carry modules/skills to survive short, high-DPS bursts or have wing backup ready to react.
   • Against Ishtars: kill drones quickly (e.g., point-focus on drone control or use anti-drone fittings), or disengage before drones apply sustained damage.
6. For small/slow ships (frigates/corvettes): Do not assume low value protects you. Consider swapping to faster/stealthier hulls or avoid transit during identified windows.

Intelligence Gaps

• Engagement locations (gate, station undock, asteroid belt, signature) are not recorded in this dataset. The ship types used point to gate-camp/roam tactics, but exact ambush points are unknown. Exercise caution across all typical chokepoints in-system.

Bottom Line
Mannar is low in incident volume but high in lethality for unescorted pilots during identified windows. Prioritize escorts, avoid late-evening weekday transits where possible, and apply countermoves against Enforcer and Ishtar tactics. Treat any solo transit through Mannar as a significant risk.
