EIN-Advisory: Mormelot — Severe Predator Activity (LSTM 4.0 / RTL up to 4.8)

Date: 2025-11-05
Analyst Window: 2025-11-03 19:41 UTC — 2025-11-04 00:26 UTC
System: Mormelot (Everyshore, Low-Sec)

Executive: Mormelot has recorded two high‑intensity, opportunistic predator strikes in a five‑hour window: a Machariel destroyed a hauler and a Bhaalgorn soloed two Strategic Cruisers (Lokis) in rapid succession. Threat is elevated — treat the system as actively hunted by top‑tier solo predators and small hunter teams. Peak risk window: ~19:00–01:00 UTC.

Key actors observed

• Alexis glavor — Bhaalgorn (Black Ops Battleship). Responsible for two Loki kills within ~82 seconds. RTL: 4.8 (Top‑tier hunter: strong web/energy warfare capability).
• Sick Artley — Machariel (Battleship). Destroyed a Nereus (hauler). RTL: 3.5–4.0 (high-speed, high‑damage interceptor/ganker).

Threat snapshot

• Local Threat Level (LSTM): 4.0 — Severe Danger.
• Primary targets: Haulers (extremely high risk), T3 Strategic Cruisers (extremely high risk).
• Activity pattern: Late‑evening / midnight UTC. Peak hours 19:00–01:00 UTC.
• Modus operandi: Dedicated hunters using Battleship and Black Ops platforms; capability to neutralize capacitor‑dependent defenses and apply long‑range stasis/web.

Timeline (relevant kills)

• 2025-11-03T19:41:01Z — Nereus destroyed by Machariel (Sick Artley).
• 2025-11-04T00:24:14Z & 00:25:36Z — Two Lokis destroyed by Bhaalgorn (Alexis glavor), 82 seconds apart.

Tactical implications

• Bhaalgorn presence means strong energy warfare (neuts/nosferatu) and powerful long‑range tackle (web/scram): ships relying on capacitor systems (remote reps, MWDs, prop mods) are at severe disadvantage.
• Machariel presence indicates high‑speed interception on gates and warp‑ins; haulers and single‑pilot logistics are prime targets.
• Possibility of covert deployment or cloaked approach due to Black Ops platform — ambushes and unseen tackle are likely.

Advisory / Recommended Mitigations
Do not treat this as routine gate traffic. Apply the following precautions when operating in or transiting Mormelot:

General (all pilots)

• Avoid the system during peak hours (19:00–01:00 UTC) where possible.
• Do not travel alone in vulnerable or high‑value ships during active windows.
• Align to a safe and remain warp‑aligned when in local chat spike or on a gate; use pre‑made safes for gate checks.
• Expect energy neutralizers and extended web ranges. Do not assume cap alone will save you.
• Use cloaked reconnaissance (covert ops/stealth) or scouts from adjacent systems before committing on gates if you must transit.

Haulers / Industrial pilots

• Extremely high risk. Delay non‑urgent cargo movements through Mormelot until activity subsides.
• If movement is unavoidable: use covert‑transport options (black ops industrials/Covert Cyno fleets in controlled ops), travel in escorted convoys, or use small batch shipments.
• Fit warp core stabilizers and cargo rigs for increased survival odds, but note strong attackers can still catch well‑fitted haulers if lone.

T3 Strategic Cruisers (and other solo combat cruisers)

• Do not transit solo. The Bhaalgorn proved capable of defeating two Lokis solo — move only with escorts (anti‑cap/anti‑tackle support) or in coordinated small gangs.
• Fit with contingency modules: increased mobility (afterburner/prop mod) and tools to counter tackle (e.g., MWD + micro‑jumps if available), and consider redundancy for remote reps. Even so, avoidance is preferred.
• Consider fleet composition adjustments: bring tackle denial, cap transfer, and multiple tackle/backup reps when operating in system.

Combat and small gang pilots

• Hunt/rescue ops in Mormelot carry high risk against these battleship‑class hunters. If attempting to engage, bring proper counter‑cap, long‑range tackle breakers, and be prepared for heavy webbing and neut pressure.
• Probe for cloaked attackers: check common cloak points and safes before engaging; assume Black Ops could cloak and re‑engage quickly.

Fleet/Cyno considerations

• Bhaalgorn’s Black Ops profile implies potential for covert deployment — do not assume absence of cyno activity; a single cloaked Black Ops can be a force multiplier.
• Exercise extreme caution when using or responding to cynos in/near Mormelot.

Operational recommendation (summary)

• Treat Mormelot as "actively hunted" until further calm is observed. Highest caution for haulers and T3s.
• Avoid system during 19:00–01:00 UTC. If you must pass, travel with escorts, use covert movement options, pre‑align, and use safes for gate checks.
• T3s should move in numbers or with dedicated ancilliary support; solo T3 transit is strongly discouraged.

EIN assessment: Elevated, focused predation by high‑skill pilots using heavy‑hit platforms. Exercise maximum caution; reassess if additional incidents are reported or if the same actors are observed operating repeatedly.
