POSes in 0.0 space no longer ~~serve~~ the ~~purpose of sovereignty~~, ~~though~~ they ~~are still~~ heavily armed. Under no circumstance should one be approached ~~(cov-ops notwithstanding)~~.

POSes in 0.0 space used to be used to claim sovereignty, so you'll see references to that in older information. That's no longer the case, but they're commonly used as defensive structures and safe points. They will invariably be heavily armed. Under no circumstance should one be approached casually.

These structures can serve as ~~not only~~ a home base in a system with no outpost ("docking" stations, as seen in high/lowsec), ~~but~~ as industrial ~~hubs~~ for a nullsec corporation. ~~At a POS, corporations can manufacture not only sub-capital and capital ships~~, but ~~also super-capital ships,~~ the ~~Mothership and Titan~~.

In wormhole space, POSes ~~serve as a~~ home ~~much more than in any other space,~~ and as such, run very heavy defenses. ~~Expect to be attacked when warping~~ to ~~one,~~ and ~~to lose~~ ship and pod ~~to its owners~~.

These structures can serve as a home base in a system with no outpost ("docking" stations, as seen in high/lowsec), or as industrial facilities for a nullsec corporation or alliance. Industrial POSes will have lighter defenses than purely defensive setups, but may be vigorously defended by the owners.

In wormhole space, POSes are the only available structures to base out of. They're "home" to the owners and as such, run very heavy defenses. If the POS is manned, expect human POS gunners to take careful aim and blow up your ship and pod without apology.
