Mormelot – 2025-09-24
EIN-Advisory: Mormelot — Elevated Low‑Sec Threat; Solo Hunters, Cloaked Ambushes, and Small‑Gang Roams
Date: 2025-09-23
Summary
Mormelot (Low‑sec, Everyshore) is currently a high‑risk transit and operations system. Recent killboard analysis shows repeated successful aggression by skilled solo hunters, small coordinated roams, and a series of kills with no listed attackers consistent with cloaked or smartbomb ambushes. Pilots should assume hostility and plan accordingly.
Observed Threats (from analyst data)
- Alexis glavor — persistent, high‑threat solo hunter (noted ships: Vigilant, Machariel). Targets range from combat cruisers to industrials. Active across multiple days.
- Small‑gang roams — multi‑pilot engagements involving Magus logistics and a Loki (operators named in logs). Capable of coordinated electronic warfare and sustained damage.
- Cloaked/Smartbombing ambushers — kills with no attackers listed (Magnate, Capsule, Manticore), indicating cloaky or instantaneous engagement methods at choke points.
- Other solo Machariel aggression (Jason Ozran) and opportunistic kills on high‑value targets (Gila, Viator, Epithal).
Temporal Pattern
- Peak activity in UTC afternoon/early evening: ~13:00–20:00 UTC (consistent across multiple days).
- Opportunistic strikes can occur off‑peak (example at ~03:58 UTC). No weekday is reliably safe.
Practical Guidance (grounded in the brief)
- Avoid transiting Mormelot if you are not prepared for combat. Haulers, covert transports and lightly tanked ships face elevated risk.
- If you must pass: travel aligned to a safe, maintain a quick warp plan, and minimize time on gates/station undocks. Expect the possibility of cloaked attackers — cloaking alone may not guarantee safety.
- Use scouts or dedicated escorts if carrying valuable cargo; operate with prearranged escape options and bookmarks for instant warp.
- In combat ships: be cautious of lone high‑skill hunters (Machariel/Vigilant) and small gangs with logistics/EO warding. Prioritize situational awareness, keep transversal/aligning discipline, and disengage when multi‑signature contact appears.
- Consider routing through higher‑security systems where practical.
Closing
Mormelot’s mix of skilled solo hunters, coordinated small gangs, and ambiguous cloaked attacks makes it an elevated low‑sec hazard. Plan routes and fittings with the expectation of immediate aggression, especially during the 13:00–20:00 UTC window.
