Mormelot – 2025-11-11
Date range: 2025-11-04 → 2025-11-11
Analyst: Everyshore Intel Network
Executive summary
- Threat level: 4.0 (Severe). A small, well-organized gang is conducting coordinated blitz ganks in Mormelot using covert-capable battlecruisers and heavy battleship alpha (Cenotaph, Khizriel, Machariel, Nightmare).
- Principal aggressors: Alexis glavor (primary FC/initiator) and Sick Artley (heavy DPS), present in the majority of recorded incidents.
- Temporal pattern: highest risk during European prime / early NA evening (approx. 17:00–23:00 UTC), with weekend evenings (Sat–Sun) showing concentrated, high‑tempo strikes.
- Operational implication: Even routine PvE and low-value activity is at substantial risk. Assume cloaked scouts and pre-positioned interdiction (Sabre) when operating in-system.
Key indicators and observed tactics
- Cloak-initiated strikes: Repeated use of the Cenotaph (covert-capable battlecruiser) to scout/position and blitz targets with heavy battleship alpha.
- Interdiction support: Sabre-class interdictor used to deploy warp disruption bubbles, preventing escape.
- Shock group composition: Cloak/scout + heavy DPS (Nightmare/Machariel) + support (Typhoon, Sabre, Loki) enabling rapid, decisive kills — including on tanky Tech‑III targets (Tengu) and typical PvE cruisers (Drake, Hurricane).
- Time clustering: Example — a critical 2-minute cluster of ganks on Sat 2025-11-09, indicating pre-planned fleet warp-ins to gates/mission pockets or bait sites.
Top persistent threat actors (from recorded incidents)
- Alexis glavor — Cenotaph primary; central FC/initiator (involved in 8 of 9 incidents). Threat score: 4.5
- Sick Artley — Nightmare / heavy Battleship DPS. Threat score: 4.0
- Karl Rudolf Horse — Machariel support on major gank. Threat score: 3.0
- Begrezen — Typhoon support. Threat score: 2.5
- Karlsson Horse — Sabre interdictor (bubbles). Threat score: 2.0
- Yazara Feldron — Loki (opportunistic MTU kill). Threat score: 1.5
Vulnerable targets observed
- PvE mission hulls: Drake, Hurricane, Tengu — regularly targeted and destroyed.
- Small explorers/frigates: Heron, Atron — destroyed as easy/secondary kills.
- Stationary industrial assets: MTUs have been destroyed; avoid leaving unattended MTUs in Mormelot.
Advisory — recommended precautions (rooted in observed behavior)
- Avoid high-value or vulnerable ops in-system during peak window: 17:00–23:00 UTC, especially weekends (Sat–Sun). The group shows concentrated activity in this window.
- Assume cloaked presence: Do not rely on visible traffic to assess safety. Cloaked Cenotaph/Loki scouts have been repeatedly used to initiate kills with little warning.
- Do not leave MTUs/loot containers unattended in Mormelot. If you must deploy MTUs, minimize exposure time and bring a shielded/escorting force.
- For mission running or ratting: avoid lone-play in larger, slow-align hulls (Drake, Hurricane, Tengu). If operating these hulls, travel with wingmates or choose faster, better-aligned alternatives.
- Fit for survivability if you must operate here:
- Prioritize fast align and warp-out capability (inertial drives, MJD if available) to reduce probability of being caught by bubble+alpha.
- Consider resist/tank profiles that mitigate alpha burst (adaptive resistances, oversized repair) and escape modules.
- Be cautious with ship types that present high ISK loot/value — they are explicit targets.
- Be mindful of interdictor tactics: the presence of a Sabre confirms the gang will use bubbles to lock ships in. If you see an interdictor in the system, treat it as a strong escalation indicator.
- Travel smart: avoid loitering on gates or mission pockets where coordinated warp-ins and bubble fields allow the gang to guarantee kills.
- If carrying high-value cargo or running missions, consider alternate routes/systems during the high-risk window.
Context note
- Although the analyst header lists Mormelot as High-Security status, the observed operations mirror low‑sec style burst ganking enabled by covert-capable platforms and interdiction support. Treat Mormelot as effectively contested during the identified windows.
Analyst recommendation (concise)
- Exercise extreme caution in Mormelot. Avoid solo or lightly escorted PvE and industrial activity during 17:00–23:00 UTC (weekend evenings highest risk). Assume cloaked scouts and prepared interdiction; plan ops accordingly.
