Mormelot – 2025-09-29
Mormelot Advisory — Elevated Threat (Yellow): Hunter’s Pack Active on Weekend Mornings (UTC)
Threat snapshot
- Overall: Elevated. Mormelot sees intermittent but highly lethal activity — a mix of coordinated hunting packs and opportunistic gankers.
- High-danger window: Saturday mornings (UTC) — most notable strike at 2025-09-27T06:00:27Z.
- Primary targets: industrials, miners, and solo recon/covert ops.
Confirmed threat vectors (from recent killmails)
- Hunter’s Pack (Real_Thread 4.8/5.0): Large, coordinated strike force (Barghests + EW Huginn/Onyx/Hyena + stealth) that trapped and destroyed an Arazu (covert ops). Extremely dangerous to solo and lightly‑fitted ships, especially during the observed weekend morning activity.
- Opportunistic gankers (Real_Thread 3.5–4.0/5.0): High‑alpha solo or small‑group predators — e.g., a Machariel taking an Epithal and a Khizriel ambushing a Venture. Quick, lethal kills against slow or uncloaked targets.
- Non‑player/accident kill (Real_Thread 1.0): Isolated Manticore loss appears not to represent player action but underscores environmental/pilot‑error risk.
Tactical guidance (rooted in observed patterns)
- Avoid hauling/mining in vulnerable hulls (Epithal, Venture) in Mormelot during weekend mornings (UTC). These are high‑probability targets.
- Do not run covert ops or recon alone in system windows matching the Hunter’s Pack activity; an Arazu was caught by coordinated forces.
- Maintain constant situational awareness: frequent d‑scan checks, active local monitoring, and no AFK operations.
- If you must operate: travel with escorts or scouts, use align‑and‑warp fittings to reduce tackle windows, and be prepared to disengage immediately.
- Consider alternate routes, delay non‑urgent moves into Mormelot during the flagged times, or fly combat‑capable ships when transiting.
What the killmails tell you
- Coordinated, multi‑ship ambushes are present and temporally patterned. When they strike, they bring overwhelming force.
- Single‑ship predators are active throughout the week and will exploit predictable, slow targets.
Bottom line
Treat Mormelot as a risky low‑sec system with concentrated weekend morning activity. Adjust operation times, ship choice, and risk posture accordingly — especially for haulers, miners, and solo recon pilots.
