Pirate relic and data can be found in all normal space regions | Pirate relic and data sites can be found in all [[k-space|normal space regions]], as well as in C1, C2 and C3 class [[Wormhole Space|wormhole systems]]. | ||
They follow simple naming | They follow a simple naming convention: | ||
Data sites in high security space they are called "{{co|wheat|Local}} {{co|#9ef37c|(Faction)}} {{co|#9ef37c|(site)}}", in low "{{co|wheat|Regional}} {{co|#9ef37c|(Faction)}} {{co|#9ef37c|(site)}}" and in null "{{co|wheat|Central}} {{co|#9ef37c|(Faction)}} {{co|#9ef37c|(site)}}". Relic sites in high security space they are called "{{co|wheat|Crumbling}} {{co|#9ef37c|(Faction)}} {{co|#9ef37c|(site)}}", in low "{{co|wheat|Decayed}} {{co|#9ef37c|(Faction)}} {{co|#9ef37c|(site)}}" and in null "{{co|wheat|Ruined}} {{co|#9ef37c|(Faction)}} {{co|#9ef37c|(site)}}". Each region spawns sites for the local pirate group. | |||
Pirate relic and data sites are pockets of space populated with a variety of cosmetic structures (i.e., wrecked stations, abandoned machines) and several containers that need to be [[hacking|hacked]] before the contents can be accessed. The sites do not have any triggers or NPC defenders. | |||
Pirate relic sites contain T1 and T2 salvage materials, skillbooks and blueprint copies. Pirate data sites contain decryptors, datacores, skillbooks, blueprint copies and manufacturing materials. The contents vary by faction, for example | Data site containers look a bit like an gyroscope, and typically have names like "{{co|#9ef37c|(Faction)}} Info Shard" or "{{co|#9ef37c|(Faction)}} Com Tower". Relic Site containers look like ancient shipwrecks and have names like "{{co|#9ef37c|(Faction)}} Debris" or "{{co|#9ef37c|(Faction)}} Rubble". These containers hold all of the site's valuables. You'll have to hack into the containers first by playing the [[hacking|hacking minigame]]. In order to attempt a hack, you’ll need to lock on to the container, fly within your hacking module range of it, and then use the correct module on it (Relic Analyzer in a Relic Site, Data Analyzer in a Data Site, or Integrated Aanalyzer for both). This will pop open a new window containing the hacking minigame. Failing the hack on same container twice will destroy the container. The explosion will not deal any damage. | ||
Pirate relic sites contain T1 and T2 [[Salvaging#Uses_for_salvage|salvage materials]], skillbooks and [[Blueprints#Blueprint_Copies|blueprint copies]]. Pirate data sites contain decryptors, datacores, skillbooks, blueprint copies and manufacturing materials. The contents vary by faction, for example, Sansha relic sites contain Intact Armor Plates for salvage. | |||

Sleeper caches are gated deadspace pockets with size limits for entry. Each sleeper cache has its own set of dangers.

Sleeper data and relic sites are found in wormholes. They are not empty, instead they have strong sleepers defending the site that need to be defeated before hacking. | Sleeper data and relic sites are found in wormholes.

Sleeper data and relic sites can be identified from {{co|wheat|"Forgotten"}} and {{co|wheat|"Unsecured"}} at the beginning of their names. The combat in them is harder than in combat anomalies of same wormhole class and the rats drop sleeper components as they do in combat sites. They can be ran as combat sites only looting the wrecks and ignoring the hacking part. | Sleeper data and relic sites can be identified from {{co|wheat|"Forgotten"}} and {{co|wheat|"Unsecured"}} at the beginning of their names.

{{ note box | Note that it is unclear to this author whether Contested Covert Research Facilities are still in the game; some sources seem to indicate that they were removed when the Besieged Covert Research Facilities were added. Another thing to consider is that the reward received may not be worth the effort and risk of doing them: you will almost certainly lose your ship if you attempt them in an untanked frigate, but carrying around tanking modules just for these sites may be inconvenient. }} | {{ note box | Note that it is unclear to this author whether Contested Covert Research Facilities are still in the game; some sources seem to indicate that they were removed when the Besieged Covert Research Facilities were added.

The only known variant is the Contested Guristas Covert Research Facility | The only known variant is the Contested Guristas Covert Research Facility. It contains 1 hackable can, called a Guristas Transponder Tower. If the hack fails or after about 45-60s from the first warp-in to the site (even if the can has already been emptied), the can explodes for roughly 2000 raw explosive damage. The tower has 1 Guristas Data Sequence ([https://eve-central.com/home/quicklook.html?typeid=33988 eve-central price]) as loot, 75/200/700 of which can be turned in at the [[Mordu's Legion]] headquarters in [[nullsec]] for BPCs to build the Mordu's Legion ships. | ||

Note: The author of this section did model all 4 frigates in [[EFT]], using a damage control I + explosive deflection field I + small shield extender I (except for the Magnate, as noted) and with the "without skills" option, and got just over 2k (Imicus) to 2.7k (Heron with 1 EDF) shield ehp vs. explosive damage on all the above ships except the armor-tanked magnate (which had about 2.5k shield+armor ehp vs. explosive, with AEH+100mm plates+DC+EANM). However, TEST YOUR OWN FIT with a fitting tool and/or calculate your [[EHP]] vs. explosive damage before you go blow yourself up. Remember to repair any armor/hull damage you may have suffered afterwards (as noted, this should only be necessary with the Magnate). | Note: The author of this section did model all 4 frigates in [[EFT]], using a damage control I + explosive deflection field I + small shield extender I (except for the Magnate, as noted) and with the "without skills" option, and got just over 2k (Imicus) to 2.7k (Heron with 1 EDF) shield ehp vs. explosive damage on all the above ships except the armor-tanked magnate (which had about 2.5k shield+armor ehp vs. explosive, with AEH+100mm plates+DC+EANM).
