Angatalie – 2025-11-02
Date: 2025-11-02 UTC
Executive summary
A single, high-lethality predation event occurred in Angatalie (Low‑sec, Everyshore) at 11:57 UTC on 2025-11-02. A Tech II Vagabond piloted by Uma Thurman engaged and destroyed an undefended Ibis (pilot: Povanen Udan). System Threat Level (Immediate): 3.5 / 5.0 — Elevated Danger. Low traffic volume masks high intent and efficiency; vulnerable and inexpensive ships are at immediate risk.
What happened
- Time: 11:57 UTC (late morning EUTZ / early morning USTZ).
- Victim: Ibis (Povanen Udan) — minimal defenses.
- Attacker: Solo Vagabond (Uma Thurman) — high-damage, high-speed Tech II HAC used for efficient solo predation.
- Engagement profile: Rapid, single-ship gank-style kill consistent with hit‑and‑run or gate/undock patrol tactics.
Threat profile
- Primary actor: Uma Thurman — high-risk solo hunter (Vagabond) optimized for quick kills on low-value targets.
- Tactical behavior indicated: Patrols or opportunistic ambushes timed for low-traffic windows; likely operating near gates, undocks, or standard transit points.
- Mobility and disengage capability are high; Quick Reaction Forces (QRFs) are unlikely to reliably catch or deter this pilot once engaged.
Who is at risk
- New pilots, explorers, haulers, and other non-combat-fitted ships moving through Angatalie.
- Pilots undocking alone, jumping gates without checks, or warping to zero on commonly used points.
- Transit that occurs during the observed time window (~late-morning UTC) when predator activity may be higher.
Recommended tactics (rooted in observed behavior)
- Avoid flying inexpensive or vulnerable ships through Angatalie while the threat persists; consider alternative routes or docking in high‑sec when possible.
- If transit is necessary:
- Travel in combat-capable ships or with escorts rather than solo in fragile hulls.
- Do not warp to zero on gates or common undock points; pre-align to a celestial or safe and warp off-grid.
- Use d-scan and directional awareness before jumping/undocking; assume a solo Vagabond may be nearby.
- Fit to improve escape survivability (e.g., mobility/stealth/warp‑core options) rather than minimal fittings that invite one‑shot kills.
- Schedule transits outside the observed window if operationally flexible; late-morning UTC has proven profitable for this hunter.
Closing note
This event illustrates a pattern of high-efficiency, low-volume predation in Angatalie. The immediate danger comes not from fleet action but from a capable, single pilot exploiting vulnerable traffic. Maintain heightened vigilance in Everyshore low‑sec corridors and plan transits accordingly.
