EIN-Advisory — Elevated Predation & Coordinated PvP in Angatalie (Low‑Sec)

Date: 2025-11-10 (incidents analyzed)
Threat Rating (Everyshore Intel Network): 3.5 / 5.0 — Moderate to High (premeditated aggression, skilled actors)

Summary

• Two confirmed killmails on 2025-11-10 reveal active, competent predatory actors operating in Angatalie.
• Attacks include a deliberate industrial gank (Covetor) using a Tech‑3 + covert spotter pairing, and a coordinated PvP interception against an Assault Frigate (Hawk) using cruiser + AF + dedicated point/scram tactics.
• Activity occurred in the late‑night / early‑morning UTC window (00:10 UTC and 04:37 UTC) but shows presence across multiple time zones; assume no reliably “safe” period.

Key Incidents (limited dataset)

• Miner gank (00:10 UTC): Victim — Covetor. Attackers — Tengu (Tech‑3 Strategic Cruiser) + Astero (Covert Ops). High alpha, premeditated strike with cloaked scouting.
• PvP interception (04:37 UTC): Victim — Hawk (Assault Frigate). Attackers — Thorax (Cruiser) + Retribution (Assault Frigate) + a Warp Scrambler source. Coordinated tackle and concentrated fire overcame an active combat fit.

Tactics and Operational Indicators

• Use of Tengu indicates high investment and adaptable, high‑damage builds capable of killing vulnerable industrials quickly.
• Astero presence implies cloaked scouting/probing; targets may be tracked and ambushed with little visible forewarning.
• Warp scrambler/tackling assets show intent to hold targets and complete kills even against combatants.
• Small mixed gangs (Cruiser + AF) demonstrate willingness to engage and out‑coordinate single PvP ships.

Who is at highest risk

• Solo miners and haulers (Covetors, barges, unescorted transports). The Covetor kill shows miners are high‑value, low‑defense targets here.
• Solo small PvP pilots (assault frigates and similar) when facing coordinated opposition without backup or superior positioning.
• Any ship that cannot rapidly escape a scram/point.

Recommended Countermeasures (rooted in observed behavior)

• Industrial ops (mining/hauling)

  • Do not undock vulnerable mining barges (Covetor) alone in Angatalie. Consider tacking on an active escort fitted for tackle denial or bring a wing of armed support.
  • Prefer mining in numbers or with a combat escort. If single‑pilot, use ships with higher survivability (exhumers with support, tanked transport alternatives) rather than naked Covetors.
  • Maintain align‑to safes and keep instant‑warp bookmarks for each belt/site. Miners should be ready to warp off immediately on any anomaly.
  • Assume cloaked scouts may be present — check d‑scan frequently, orbit at safe ranges, and minimize time spent stationary when uncloaked.

• PvP pilots / small gangs

  • Expect coordinated tackle + cruiser DPS packages. If you encounter a cruiser + AF gang, evaluate disengagement or call for backup rather than committing to protracted brawls.
  • Watch for scram/web signatures: if you detect point activity, avoid prolonged close‑range engagements unless you have counter‑tackle or superior numbers.
  • Use range control/kiting when possible against blaster or drone‑centric cruisers; deny them optimal engagement distance.

• Recon & vigilance

  • Treat sightings of covert ops frigates (Astero) as high‑probability indicators of an organized hunt rather than random presence.
  • Fly with a scout or recon asset if conducting operations that cannot be risked. Do not assume emptiness from a quiet local channel—covert scouts can remain unseen.

Operational Note / Temporal Warning

• Although only two kills are in the limited dataset, their composition (T3 + Astero; Cruiser + AF + scram) points to a persistent, skilled threat capable of striking across multiple UTC windows. Plan schedules and ops with the assumption Angatalie has an active predatory presence at unpredictable hours.

EIN Status

• Continue to treat Angatalie as a hazardous low‑sec system for unescorted industry and solo PvP. Adjust operations to include escorts, alignment discipline, and readiness to disengage on first sign of coordinated threat.
