Mormelot – 2025-10-28
Summary
- Threat rating: 3.8/5.0 — Elevated/Dangerous for Mormelot (data period: 25–27 Oct 2025).
- Active, competent small-gang and solo hunters operating in-system. Main threat windows: 18:00–04:00 UTC (Monday/Tuesday peak, with additional weekend morning activity).
- Most dangerous individuals observed: Jason Ozran (Hecate, highest lethality), Cadhla Dioltas (Tengu), Aladar Krahn (Garmur), Alexis glavor (Svipul). Attacks show both coordinated interdiction (Garmur+Tengu) and skilled solo T3D hunting (Hecate/Svipul).
What happened (concise)
- 4 kills within 72 hours: combination of a 2‑man gank (Tengu + Garmur) and solo Hecate/Svipul predator strikes. Victims included a mobile cyno, a Brutix Navy Issue, a Hecate, and a capsule — indicating both tactical interdiction of logistics and ruthless finishing of pod pilots.
System-specific risk profile (key points)
- High concentration of T3 and faction‑frigate pilots; attackers fly well‑fitted, meta‑relevant ships. Expect skilled pilots prepared for both tackle and sustained DPS.
- Mobile cyno destruction shows active interdiction of logistics and capital/cap‑support moves through Mormelot.
- Slow‑aligning, high-value ships are particularly vulnerable to the Tengu/Garmur combo and solo T3 destroyers.
Immediate advisory / tactical guidance (applies to all pilots in/through low-sec Mormelot)
- Time to avoid: Exercise maximum caution (or avoid transits entirely) during 18:00–04:00 UTC, especially Monday→Tuesday. Also expect opportunists in weekend mornings.
- Do NOT transit alone in expensive, slow‑aligning ships (battlecruisers, slow marauders, or fitted cruisers that cannot warp out quickly).
- Logistics/capital movement: Do not move capitals or cyno‑dependent operations through Mormelot during the elevated window. Mobile cynos have been actively targeted.
- Preferred transit profiles:
- Use fast‑aligning, low‑signature ships (interceptors, covops/stealthy haulers) where mission permits.
- If you must use a combat ship, ensure a dedicated scout or bubble/disruption countermeasure is available — do not rely on pod‑eject escape.
- Cloak-capable ships and fast cloaky haulers are preferred for high‑value cargo.
- If carrying significant value: avoid gates where Garmur-style interdiction and Tengu support can trap you. Consider alternate routes and time transits outside the 18:00–04:00 UTC window.
- If operating in small gangs: bring EWAR and tackle-denial (interdictor/point denial) and be prepared for T3s with adaptable fits; expect high dps and value ships from the enemy.
- Pod safety: attackers finished pods after ship kills — assume they will attempt to catch pods. Carry minimal isk in pod, consider clone location management.
Ship/fit considerations (guided by observed attacker tech)
- Against Tengu/Svipul/Hecate aggressors:
- Avoid extended brawls in mid‑tanked battlecruisers without warp‑out options.
- Use speed and sig‑tank options to reduce tackle window (interceptor/fast frigates).
- If in a fleet, bring logistic support and EWAR to disrupt T3 target-swaps.
- Against Garmur-style tackle:
- Expect fast scram/web/point. MWD is useful for escape but can be countered by points; align and cloak where possible.
Operational recommendations for corporations/solo pilots
- Plan logistics outside peak windows; reroute capitals and cynos away from Mormelot when possible.
- Restrict movement of high‑value assets through system during elevated hours.
- Run ops with scouts and a contingency extraction plan (e.g., pre‑staged safes/jump bridges outside system).
- Solo pilots should avoid high-risk targets and refrain from attempting to contest or engage known top threats identified in the advisory.
Named threats (observed actors)
- Jason Ozran — Hecate: highest lethality, proven pod finish; assume aggressive solo predator behavior.
- Cadhla Dioltas — Tengu: doctrine T3 cruiser used as primary DPS in small-gang engagements.
- Aladar Krahn — Garmur: fast tackle/support in coordinated duos.
- Alexis glavor — Svipul: opportunistic hunter capable of quick strikes on vulnerable logistics.
Closing note
Mormelot is a high‑risk low‑sec transit node as of the latest data. Adjust transit timing, ship choice, and operational planning accordingly; treat contacts in local as potentially hostile and capable. This advisory is based solely on the observed incidents and patterns from 25–27 Oct 2025.
