Angatalie – 2025-09-22
EIN-Advisory — Angatalie: Cloaked Bomber Activity Detected (Low → Moderate Threat)
Date: 2025-09-01 (reporting incident from 2025-09-18)
Summary
- Single concentrated incident recorded 2025-09-18, 19:12–19:16 UTC. Victim: Haeisk Mabata (Manticore → pod). Attacker: arataks1s (Hound stealth bomber).
- Indicators point to a targeted, rapid cloaked-bomber strike with follow-up pod kill. Threat level for Angatalie assessed LOW to MODERATE; localized risk elevated for certain times and ship types.
Immediate Threat Warning
- WATCH FOR CLOAKED GANKERS/BOMBERS in Angatalie. Specifically: arataks1s operating a Hound demonstrated effective cloaked alpha strikes.
- Risk window observed: Wednesdays, ~19:00–20:00 UTC (treat this slot as higher-risk until further data).
Tactical Advisories (Low-Sec Context)
- D-scan constantly. Treat sudden ships on grid or unexplained warp-ins as hostile indicators.
- Avoid long-alignment, slow-warping ships when transiting — industrials, haulers, and undocked mission-fit ships are high-value targets for alpha strikes.
- Fit/or carry an align/warp-out plan: stabs/AB, MWDs used appropriately, and bookmarks for safe warp-in/warp-out points (combat-offlines where available).
- Travel in pairs/small groups when possible; a scout can spot cloakers or suspicious activity before you land.
- If you suspect a cloaker: don’t panic-warp to a close celestial; burn to a known safe bookmark or warp off-grid. Assume pod threat after a ship loss.
Threat Profile Summary (from incident)
- Primary actor: arataks1s — stealth bomber specialist; cloaked approach → fast alpha → pod follow-up.
- Secondary pattern: opportunistic low-sec piracy during common player uptimes; stealth bombers exploit predictable traffic and slow targets.
Conclusion
- Angatalie remains survivable but carries increased risk for quick, cloaked engagements. Apply caution during the noted time window and use basic low-sec countermeasures. Stay aligned, D-scan, and assume cloaked presence.
