EIN-Advisory — ANGATALIE (Everyshore) — Immediate RED Warning (Low-Sec)

Date: 2025-10-19
Source: Everyshore Intel Network — Analyst immediate threat assessment

Executive Summary

A single, recent kill in Angatalie (Kill ID: 130640373) destroyed a Cheetah-class Covert Ops frigate at 19:02:15 UTC. The kill report lists no attackers. That absence strongly indicates active area-denial measures (smartbomb traps or structure defenses) or exceptionally high OPSEC hunter activity capable of eliminating cloaked/recon assets without leaving standard attacker traces.

Immediate threat level: RED — Critically High for covert/recon operations and small, fast targets in Angatalie. This is a low-sec system: assume hostile player activity and engineered kill zones.

Incident Snapshot

• Victim: Cheetah (pilot: Emo Ve)
• Time (UTC): 19:02:15 (Sunday prime-time)
• Kill ID: 130640373
• Attackers: NONE reported

Analyst conclusion: most likely causes are (a) smartbomb/area-denial trap on a common warp point, or (b) automated/structure defenses (citadel/complex weapons) that do not populate attacker lists. High-OPSEC ambushes remain possible but are less likely than the two former options given the evidence.

System-Wide Threat Assessment (Key Points)

• Observed Real Threat (ORT): 4.0 — Severe Danger
• Local Environment Threat: 4.5 — Extreme Danger (likely rigged points or defensive structures)
• Temporal note: The event occurred at 19:00 UTC — prime-time; hostile forces are willing to operate during busy windows.

Probable Threat Profiles (inferred)

• Smartbomb / Area-Denial groups (highest probability): kill decloaking vessels at choke points.
• Structure defense (citadel/complex weapons): automated kills with no attacker entries.
• Black Ops hunter teams: coordinated cloak/alpha-strike specialists.
• Standard gankers / interdictors: lower probability given no attackers listed, but still a background threat.
• Roaming wormhole elements: opportunistic.
• Single high-skill pilot using decloak-counter setups: possible but less likely.

Immediate Mitigation Guidance (Do / Don't)

Do:

• Avoid flying Covert Ops, Blockade Runners, shuttles, or other fragile recon/transport ships through Angatalie until risk decreases.
• Assume gates, bookmarks, and common warp-in points are rigged with smartbombs or structure defenses. Warp to safe bookmarks at 100–150 km off primary celestial points rather than landing at zero.
• Use long-range reconnaissance from adjacent systems where possible. Scan/probe from range before committing assets.
• Travel with a scout or wingmate; avoid solo deep-field probing runs in low-sec Angatalie.
• If you must transit, use slower, tanked platforms rather than fragile, high-signature ships; reduce decloak exposures.
• Do not light or accept cynos in-system; assume reconnaissance attracts immediate targeting.
• Use D-Scan and directional scans aggressively; assume Local can be empty despite active threats.

Don't:

• Do not warp cloaked/recon ships to zero on gates, stations, or obvious bookmarks.
• Do not undock or warp into structures/citadels or their immediate radii without hard intel on their rules of engagement.
• Do not perform high-value asset transfers or logistics through Angatalie at prime-time (19:00 UTC) until risk subsides.

Recommended Tactical Adjustments

• Replace single-ship covert probing with multi-ship reconnaissance (scout + back-up) or remote probing from adjacent grid.
• Prefer low-signature, survivable scouts that can maintain range; avoid decloaking in system hotspots.
• Consider fits focused on survivability and burst-mitigation (shields/armor buffer, players beware of smartbomb alpha).
• If operating near suspected structure defenses, keep clear of known citadel weapon ranges and docking radii.
• Use safer routes and staggered movement windows (avoid predictable, repeatable bookmarks).

Temporal / Strategic Note

This is a single-data-point advisory — patterns cannot be confirmed. However, the absence of attackers in a Cheetah kill is a significant indicator of targeted anti-stealth activity. Expect heightened risk during prime-time hours and exercise heightened caution until additional, corroborating activity indicates reduced risk or a clear MO becomes apparent.

Bottom Line

Angatalie is currently a high-risk low-sec environment for cloaked/recon and small, fragile targets. Treat the system as potentially rigged or monitored by highly capable hunters. Avoid deep-field covert operations, do not light cynos, and use conservative movement and scouting practices until the threat picture changes.
