Mormelot – 2025-11-14
EIN-Advisory: Mormelot — Elevated to Severe Local Threat (Black Ops & Battleship Fleet Activity)
Executive Summary
- System: Mormelot (Everyshore, Low-Sec).
- Current Rating: Elevated → Severe (System Threat-Level 4.2 / "Severe").
- Immediate risk: Highly coordinated capsuleer force operating Battleships, Black Ops Battleships, Combat Battlecruisers and covert-capable platforms. Sustained predatory operations targeting everything from Frigates and Cruisers to Strategic Cruisers, Combat Battlecruisers, Mining Barges (Retriever) and Mobile Tractor Units (MTU).
- Primary threat leaders identified: Alexis glavor, Sick Artley, Begrezen.
Threat Details
- Attack composition includes: Black Ops (Widow, Panther), Heavy Battleships (Nightmare, Machariel, Megathron, Typhoon), Combat Battlecruisers (Cenotaph, Khizriel), and interdict/support ships (Sabre, Purifier).
- Black Ops drops and covert-capable Cenotaph presence allow near-instantaneous force projection and surprise on-grid engagements.
- Threat is capable of destroying high-value and tanky ships (Tengu, Proteus, Drake, Hurricane, VNI) — do not assume high-cost hulls are safe.
Peak Threat Windows (UTC)
- Primary: 20:00–22:00 UTC (EARLY EVENING EVE TIME) — highest concentration of coordinated activity.
- Secondary: 17:00–18:00 UTC.
- Intermittent early-morning strikes: 06:00–09:00 UTC.
- Pattern: Most intense activity clustered around Sunday–Tuesday in the observed week.
Known Actors & Typical Tactics
- Alexis glavor — fleet anchor/finalizer; deploys Black Ops, Navy and T1 BCs; high coordination with Sick Artley. Real_Thread rating 5.0 when in force.
- Sick Artley — heavy DPS Battleship pilot (Nightmare, Panther); frontline damage projection. Real_Thread ~4.8.
- Begrezen — industrial ganker and heavy ship pilot; active against MTUs and Retrievers. Real_Thread ~4.0.
- Tactics observed: mass ganks/ambushes, hangar defense/gate camps with Battleship support, Black Ops drops, industrial ganks on miners/MTUs.
Observed Incidents (selection)
- 09-Nov 20:00 — Mass ambush: Cenotaph, Nightmare, Tengu, Drake — multiple high-value losses.
- 10-Nov 17:00–18:41 — Gate/hangar camp: Machariels, Typhoon, Sabre — heavy intercept/BS projection.
- 11-Nov 21:10 — Black Ops drop: Panther, Widow, Proteus, Lachesis — instantaneous, highly lethal strike.
- 12–14 Nov — Industrial ganks: Khizriel, Megathron vs Retrievers and MTUs.
Advisory / Recommended Actions (Rooted in current intel)
- Mining & Industry: Cease mining and industrial operations in Mormelot immediately. Recent kills include Retrievers and MTUs — continued operations are high risk.
- Solo/Unescorted Travel: Do not transit solo during peak windows (20:00–22:00 UTC, 17:00–18:00 UTC, 06:00–09:00 UTC). Solo pilots are routinely overwhelmed by Battleship/BO fleet comps.
- High-Value Hulls: Do not undock T3 Strategic Cruisers, Combat Battlecruisers, Battleships, or otherwise expensive ships without substantial fleet support and confirmed local safety. The attackers can and have killed these hulls.
- MTUs / Container Deployments: Avoid deploying MTUs or leaving unattended industrial assets in Mormelot.
- Transit Options: If transit is unavoidable, move during off-peak windows (outside the listed peak times) with minimal cargo. Prefer fast, cheap ships capable of quick align/warp and minimal signature to reduce value as a target.
- Fleet Movement: Any organized movement into/out of Mormelot should include scouts, tackle support, and heavy escort—expect interdictors and Black Ops drops. Assume engagements may be initiated with surprise on-grid forces.
- Docking & Asset Safety: Keep valuable assets docked or moved out of-system until threat subsides.
Risk Summary
- Local Thread-Level: 4.2 / Severe. Real_Thread for deployed Black Ops/Battleship compositions is effectively 5.0 (guaranteed high lethality for targets in engagement).
- Threat persistence: Attacker behavior is organized and repeatable; expect continued operations during the identified peak windows until patterns change.
Closing Note
Mormelot is currently a high-risk low-sec pocket with organized, well-equipped hostile forces capable of rapid, high-lethality projection (including Black Ops jumps). Suspend industrial activity, avoid solo and high-value ship exposures, and plan any movement with extreme caution and appropriate escorting.
