In addition to the typical freighter ganking, some gankers occasionally attempt to gank freighters in smaller groups with what is called "hyperdunking". This is where typically as few as 1 ganker can bump a freighter off to a quiet grid, then use a ship like a Bowhead to repeatedly reship and attack the freighter until it is destroyed.
On August 2nd, ganker Rachel Ironhand was doing this to a Fenrir in Josameto using Hounds as the ganking ship. The bumper Machariel was piloted by Baby Gal. The Bowhead pilot and looter was Leah Azizora. They were also using Mobile Scan Inhibitors.
A few of us within the High-Sec Militia and the AG community responded. The freighter was almost gone when we got there, but we halted the Hound attack. In order to destroy the freighter, they had to bring in an expensive group of Talos ships despite the freighter being into low structure.
Afterwards, we prevented looting of the freighter and destroyed the Occactor loot ship. It ended when the ganker rage-killed the freighter wreck and left the area.
My thanks goes out to all who helped in preventing the gankers from completing this hyperdunk. Always keep an eye out for hyperdunking. Hopefully actions like these will discourage gankers from attempting future huperdunks.
