Mormelot – 2025-09-28
EIN-Advisory: Mormelot — HIGH THREAT (Dawn Hammer gank gang & Machariel hunter)
Date: 2025-09-27
System Type: Low-Sec
Summary
- Mormelot is experiencing elevated, persistent threat activity. The dominant risk is a coordinated ganking gang (“Dawn Hammer”) operating in the early UTC morning; a powerful solo Machariel hunter is active around midday. Avoid the system if possible.
Confirmed Threats
-
Dawn Hammer coordinated gang — Real Threat Level: 4.5
- Composition: 8–10 ships (Barghests, Huginn, Arazu, Onyx, Hyena).
- Peak: ~06:00 UTC (operational window 03:00–06:00 UTC sees additional small hunter gangs).
- Outcome: Guaranteed destruction for unprepared targets; high chance versus even defended ships if caught.
-
Solo Machariel (pilot: Alexis glavor) — Real Threat Level: 3.5
- Ship: Machariel.
- Peak: ~13:30 UTC (midday window 13:00–14:00 UTC).
- Primary targets: Industrials, haulers, and slower combat ships.
Observed Secondary Threads
- Smaller agile hunter gangs (Hecate/Magus/Loki) active near 03:58 UTC — threat level ~3.0 to frigates/destroyers/untanked cruisers.
- Possible stealth/ambush activity indicated by an unexplained Manticore loss around 13:03 UTC — moderate risk.
Operational Guidance (Low-Sec)
- Avoid Mormelot during peak windows: 03:00–07:00 UTC and 13:00–14:00 UTC whenever possible.
- If transit is unavoidable:
- Travel with full fleet support during peak times; lone operations are high risk.
- Use fast, highly alignable ships with warp core stabilizers and minimal cargo signature when solo.
- Industrials/haulers: reroute if possible; if not, run with maximum tank, WCS, and an escort.
- Scout ahead with an alt or trusted wingmate; assume gate camps and interdiction efforts.
- Do not loiter at gates or bookmarks during the identified windows; be prepared to warp out immediately.
- Expect EWAR and heavy tackle from multi-ship gangs — interdiction support (e.g., HICs/Onyx) and coordinated alpha can be decisive.
Key Names Observed (for situational awareness)
- Attackers tied to Dawn Hammer: Alaris, Hatai Khardula, Lancer Enkidu, Shanna Alabel, Kylie Albosa, Wlerds, Jin Lee Byrne, Carrying Our Song, El'Miner2005.
- Machariel: Alexis glavor (final blow recorded against industrial-class victims).
Bottom Line
Mormelot is presently a high-risk low-sec transit point. Avoid during the specified windows; if you must pass through, take fleet support and hardened fits as described. This advisory reflects intelligence dated above and should guide immediate operational planning.
