* '''Data Sites'''

** Data Sites work exactly like Relic Sites, but they require a Data Analyzer to access. They contain valuable loot in hackable cans, and no NPCs. Items worth millions of ISK sometimes drop here even in high-sec, so keep a sharp eye out for them!

* '''Sleeper Caches'''

* '''Sleeper Caches''' (which show as Data sites in the probe signature list)

** Sleeper Caches are similar to Relic & Data Sites, but they require both a Data Analyzer and a Relic Analyzer. They contain valuable loot in hackable cans, with some NPC Sentry Guns, invisible minefields, & explosive/corrosive clouds. These sites come in three variants: Limited, Standard, and Superior. Explorers should have high hacking and archeology skills and bonused ships with a self-repairing tank before attempting these sites. These sites often include multiple "rooms" with hidden rooms and objects and will test and explorers skills. Storyline BPCs and sleeper "blue" loot worth many millions of ISK sometimes drop here even in high-sec, so keep a sharp eye out for them!

** Sleeper Caches are similar to Relic & Data Sites, but they require both a Data Analyzer and a Relic Analyzer. They are difficult to scan down completely, without high scanning skills/bonuses. They contain valuable loot in hackable cans, with some NPC Sentry Guns, invisible minefields, and explosive/corrosive clouds. These sites come in three variants: Limited, Standard, and [[Superior Sleeper Cache|Superior]]. Explorers should have high hacking and archeology skills and bonused ships with a self-repairing tank before attempting these sites. These sites often include multiple "rooms" with hidden rooms and objects and will test and explorers skills. Storyline BPCs and sleeper "blue" loot worth many tens (or hundreds?) of millions of ISK sometimes drop here even in high-sec, so keep a sharp eye out for them, if you're prepared -- these are '''not''' for beginners.

* '''Gas Sites'''

** Most high-sec Gas Sites are Nebulas, which are quiet, undefended areas that have several gas clouds that can be harvested with specialized, expensive equipment. Sadly, most high-sec gasses are not worth much ISK, either, meaning that most new explorers should avoid these sites. Gas Sites are more lucrative in lower-security space, which you likely won’t venture into at first.
