Angatalie – 2025-10-04
EIN-Advisory: Angatalie — Predator Active; Low‑sec Transit Risk Elevated
Executive Summary
- Angatalie (low‑sec) shows moderate-to-high hostile activity this week: six killmails. A confirmed predator, Vipy Styx (Ikitursa), raises the system threat to extreme during late afternoon UTC. Capsuleers should treat Angatalie as hazardous, especially during identified windows.
Threat Highlights
- Vipy Styx — Real Threat Level 5.0 (GUARANTEED DEATH)
- Flies an Ikitursa; executed a double kill (Cerberus and capsule) on 2025-09-30 around 16:11–16:13 UTC. Do not engage. If this pilot is present in local, clear the system immediately.
- Unidentified aggressors — Real Threat Level 1.0–2.0
- Multiple killmails lack attacker data; suggests cloaked, fast egress, or reporting gaps. Targets include explorers (Astero) and a Loki — expect opportunistic or stealthy hunters.
- ZAGL777 — Real Threat Level 2.5
- Jackdaw pilot destroyed an Iteron Mark V (2025-09-28 ~06:43 UTC). Haulers and lightly tanked ships are viable targets in mornings.
Temporal & Tactical Patterns
- Primary dangerous window: ~15:00–17:00 UTC (peak activity; Vipy Styx active ~16:00 UTC).
- Secondary activity: ~04:00–07:00 UTC (sporadic, affects haulers/explorers).
- Incidents spread across the week; Tuesday and Thursday showed multiple events.
Observed Victim Types
- Explorer frigates (Astero), combat cruisers (Loki, Cerberus), stealth bomber (Manticore), cargo hauler (Iteron Mark V). Attacks appear opportunistic rather than strictly target‑type limited.
Operational Recommendations (Low‑sec Context)
- Avoid Angatalie during 15:00–17:00 UTC where possible, especially Tuesdays and Thursdays.
- If Vipy Styx is present in local, warp to a safe or leave system immediately. Do not attempt to engage an Ikitursa in this system/timeframe.
- Haulers and explorers: avoid unsupervised ops in early morning UTC (04:00–07:00). Use escorts, scouts, or alternative routes.
- Maintain continuous D‑scan discipline; assume unknown contacts may be hostile.
- Favor ships with quick warp capability or sufficient tank and align time; avoid carrying high‑value cargo unless escorted.
- In low‑sec, expect limited external enforcement — plan egress/backup accordingly.
Top Incidents (for reference)
- Vipy Styx vs Navarin (Cerberus + Capsule) — 2025-09-30 16:11–16:13 UTC — RT Level 5.0
- Unknown vs Yondos (Loki) — 2025-09-29 15:29 UTC — RT Level 2.0
- ZAGL777 vs Qui‑Gonn (Iteron Mk V) — 2025-09-28 06:43 UTC — RT Level 2.5
- Others: Astero and Manticore losses with unknown attackers.
Stay cautious in Angatalie. Plan movements to avoid the identified windows and assume any Ikitursa encountered in the system during peak hours is a high‑lethality threat.
