'''Wormholes''' are rifts in space that connect two locations. Like stargates, they allow the travel of ships from one system to another. Unlike stargates, wormholes are not permanent. They connect two systems for only a short time and collapse when either their lifespan ends or too much mass has passed through them. Wormholes can connect any two systems regardless of distance from each other, providing temporary shortcuts to areas that would otherwise take many jumps to reach. Wormholes can also connect to uncharted space, or [[Wormhole Space|wormhole space]]. These systems are uncharted, and do not operate like normal systems. | |||

Wormholes can be found by scanning down [[cosmic signatures]]. Once a wormhole is probed down, it can be warped to and jumped through much like a stargate. | |||

Wormholes lead to many different places. A subset of wormholes connect to New Eden systems (henceforth referred to as 'Known Space' or 'K-Space') and some others connect from K-Space to the Anoikis (henceforth referred to as 'Wormhole Space' or 'W-Space') galaxy. Most wormholes form within W-Space, providing the sole method for inter-system travel since there are no stargates in W-Space. | |||
===Known Space to Known Space Wormholes=== | |||
These wormholes are used to quickly travel throughout New Eden, they're also used to access high-sec or low-sec islands without risk of travelling through potentially dangerous space. They're commonly named for the sec status on both ends. High-to-high, low-to-null, null-to-high etc. | These wormholes are used to quickly travel throughout New Eden, they're also used to access high-sec or low-sec islands without risk of travelling through potentially dangerous space.

These connect K-Space to W-Space. Players that do exploration use them to access W-Space to run cosmic anomalies and signatures. W-Space inhabitants use them to shop, resupply, sell loot and products and go on K-Space PvP roams. Without these wormholes, W-Space would be a desolate wasteland and nobody in K-Space would have access to [[Strategic Cruisers]]. | These connect K-Space to W-Space.

Since there are no gates available in W-Space systems these wormholes provide the sole means of interstellar transport, giving the Anoikis galaxy life in the form of capsuleers killing sleepers or each other. W-Space to W-Space wormholes are very crucial to moving down system classes because higher class systems very rarely get a wormhole connection to K-Space. | Since there are no gates available in W-Space systems these wormholes provide the sole means of interstellar transport, giving the Anoikis galaxy life in the form of capsuleers killing sleepers or each other.
