EIN-Advisory — Angatalie (Low‑Sec): Solo Angel Cartel Mekubal Active — Late‑Evening Transit Risk

Summary

• Threat level: Low to Moderate (Real Threat Range: 2.0–3.5) for transits through Angatalie (Low‑sec).
• Incident date/time: 2025-11-03 at 21:31:35Z (UTC).
• Confirmed aggressor: arataks1s flying an Angel Cartel Mekubal (Destroyer).
• Victim: Rahna Klaar in a Jackdaw (Tactical Destroyer).
• Nature of attack: Solo, hit‑and‑run style; fast alpha damage and warp acceleration typical of Mekubal play.

What happened (facts)

• A single, confirmed kill on 2025-11-03 shows arataks1s in a Mekubal quickly defeating a Jackdaw at 21:31:35Z.
• The event indicates an opportunistic solo pirate operating during late‑evening UTC hours who favors high‑speed, high‑damage engagements against transiting ships.
• Given the Mekubal’s profile, the pilot can close and apply heavy projectile damage fast enough to overcome a well‑fitted cruiser/destroyer if the target is not prepared or supported.

Threat assessment and implications

• Primary threat actor: arataks1s (Mekubal) — treat as a confirmed local threat while active in Angatalie.
• Time window of heightened risk: ~20:00Z–23:00Z (late European evening / early U.S. prime), based on the observed incident.
• Target profile at risk: solo cruisers/destroyers and other non‑dedicated combat hulls transiting gates/stations or lingering near choke points.
• Real risk: this pilot and hull combination are capable of swift kills on tactical destroyers and similar ships; transiting pilots should assume increased danger during the identified time window.

Recommended mitigations (grounded in observed data)

• Avoid transiting Angatalie during heightened window (20:00Z–23:00Z) when possible.
• Do not autopilot through the system.
• Avoid loitering near gates, stations, and choke points—keep warp routes clean and align to a safe bookmark before warping.
• If you must transit at risk times, travel with escorts or in numbers; a single lone cruiser/destroyer is the preferred target profile for the aggressor.
• Use fast, well‑tanked, or cloaked/micro‑jump capable alternatives for high‑value runs; prioritize ships and fittings that increase survivability and reduce time-to-warp.
• Keep d‑scan and local awareness up while in system; assume the aggressor may be scouting the gate/station approach.
• If burned into a fight unexpectedly, prioritize getting aligned and warping out rather than prolonged engagement unless supported.

Operational note

• The assessment is based on a single, well‑characterized incident. That incident demonstrates capability and a preferred operating window for the aggressor; plan operations accordingly and treat arataks1s in a Mekubal as a confirmed localized hazard while active.
