Mormelot – 2025-10-04
EIN-Advisory — Mormelot: Elevated Predator Activity (Low‑sec)
Date: 2025-10-04
Source: Analyst brief — Everyshore Intel Network
Summary
- Mormelot shows moderate-to-high risk for industrial and exploration hulls. Recent kills indicate opportunistic, focused predation during a tight daily window (late morning / early afternoon UTC). Exercise extreme caution, especially in Ventures, Herons and other lightly armoured ships.
Known high‑risk actors (from kill data)
- "Sick Artley" — Khizriel (Threat Level 4.5 — Extremely Dangerous)
- Targets: industrial/unescorted ships. Khizriel = high damage + likely EWar; avoid engagement and warp off immediately on contact.
- "Trevor Dalech" — Astero (Threat Level 3.5 — Dangerous)
- Targets: explorers and small industrials. Astero can scan, close fast and disengage; don’t assume escape is trivial.
Observed pattern
- All recorded kills occurred between 12:06–12:33 UTC. Expect heightened risk during ~12:00–12:30 UTC daily. Sample is small but consistent; plan operations accordingly.
Tactical recommendations (rooted in observed behavior)
- Industrial operations: do not mine or haul high‑value cargo unescorted in Mormelot. If you must operate, run with dedicated combat support and avoid the 12:00–12:30 UTC window.
- Explorers: use conservative scanning routines, keep a cloak or instant-warp bookmark, and be prepared to warp off immediately on d-scan/local contacts. Consider using more survivable exploration hulls or group operations.
- Pod survivability: attackers in system have shown willingness to snipe pods—keep an immediate escape plan (safe/bookmark to station or citadel) and minimize time in wrecked ships’ space.
- Transit: prefer group transit, staggered bookmarks, and routeing that avoids loiter time in Mormelot during the threat window. If you encounter suspicious contacts (cloaked or fast-approaching frigates/cruisers), warp out; do not attempt trade or extended dock time in low-sec.
- Engagement posture: treat Khizriel encounters as lethal to unprepared subcapitals—disengage. Treat Astero contacts as highly dangerous to explorers.
Conclusion
Mormelot is unsafe for casual, unescorted industrial or exploration activity. The pattern of actors and the consistent UTC time window indicate predictable predation. Plan operations to avoid exposure, travel with protection, and prioritize rapid escape options if engaged.
