Angatalie – 2025-09-21
EIN-Advisory: Angatalie — Lone Hound Bomber Active at 19:00 UTC
TL;DR: Recent analyst data shows a single stealth bomber pilot ("arataks1s" in a Hound) conducting targeted strikes in Angatalie around 19:00 UTC. Threat is localized but effective—exercise heightened caution during that window.
System: Angatalie (Low-Security)
Overall Threat Level: LOW–MODERATE (Localized & Targeted)
Key Findings
- Attacker: "arataks1s" operating a Hound-class stealth bomber.
- Confirmed engagements: two kills on 2025-09-18 at 19:12:27Z and 19:16:49Z (Manticore and an Ibis).
- Tactics: solo stealth-bomber ambushes, rapid re-engagement on the same capsuleer after respawn (opportunistic/predatory behavior).
- Time of activity: observed around 19:00 UTC (EU prime / US East evening).
- Intelligence rating: High specificity, reliability, and timeliness (direct killmail data).
Immediate Advice for Pilots in Angatalie
- Assume "arataks1s" may be active if you are in-system near 19:00 UTC.
- Avoid loitering on gates, warp-in points, or common transit routes—bombers exploit predictable behavior.
- Cloak immediately on jump-ins and on-grid landings when flying valuable ships.
- Keep D-scan up and check for combat probes or unexpected ships on grid.
- If killed and re-entering the system, avoid reshipping into obvious expendable/vulnerable hulls near the same location—this pilot has re-engaged respawned capsuleers.
- Prefer cheap/expendable hulls or travel with at least one ally during high-risk hours; bombers favor solo targets.
Outlook
The current activity appears limited to a single operator, but stealth bombers can rapidly exploit solo and predictable traffic. Maintain vigilance around the 19:00 UTC window and apply the recommended precautions while operating in Angatalie.
