Mormelot – 2025-10-23
EIN-Advisory: Coordinated Capsule Kill in Mormelot — 20 Oct 2025, 20:30:21 UTC
Threat Level (System-wide): LOW–MODERATE
Summary
- Single confirmed incident in low-sec Mormelot at 20:30:21 UTC on 20 Oct 2025. A capsule (Genolution 'Auroral' 197) was destroyed.
- Attackers: Sick Artley (Vedmak, char id 91737935) and Jason Ozran (Navitas, char id 91969208).
- Incident shows coordinated behavior (combat cruiser + logistics present). Vedmak presence indicates a deliberate combat-capable actor; Navitas delivering final blow suggests support/cleanup or opportunism.
What this means for pilots in Mormelot / Everyshore
- Coordination: Expect the possibility of paired or small-group tactics (combat + logistics/support). Encounters may not be isolated.
- Timing: Incident occurred during prime evening activity; while a single point cannot define a pattern, caution is warranted during peak hours.
- Capsule kills: May be cleanup after a ship kill or deliberate capsule-targeting — both deny pilot return and can be used for harassment.
Immediate Actions (based on observed data)
- Transit cautiously: Avoid lone, slow, or obvious single-pilot routes during evenings. Favor group movement when practical.
- Maintain D-scan and local checks constantly while in system. Assume vessels that appear nonthreatening may be bait.
- Align to safes/warps and keep ships ready to warp. Use bookmarks for safe spots and common uncloaking points.
- Expect cloaks and bait tactics; approach anomalies (unusual logistics ships on grid, cloaked signatures) with heightened suspicion.
- Limit time afield in high-value hulls without scouts/support. Capsule vulnerability means denying easy pickups (eject only when safe).
Monitoring & Follow-up
- Watch for repeat activity from char ids 91737935 (Sick Artley) and 91969208 (Jason Ozran) and for recurring Vedmak/Navitas pairings in Mormelot and adjacent Everyshore systems.
- Continue logging killmails and encounter details to establish any emergent patterns.
Bottom line
One coordinated capsule kill with a Vedmak present elevates risk above random solo ganks. Exercise increased caution in Mormelot and neighboring Everyshore systems until further activity clarifies intent and scope.
