I hope this one-paragraph addition makes sense. The Academy link means new players are likely to land on this page, so I figure a couple of important bits of advice ought to appear early. Do revert if you judge otherwise!

Wormholes lead to many different places: some connect W-Space to mapped New Eden systems (henceforth referred to as [[System_Security#Known_Space|Known Space]] or K-Space), others connect from K-Space to W-Space, yet others connect W-Space to other W-Space systems, and some wormholes connect K-Space to K-Space. Wormholes forming within W-Space provide the sole method for inter-system travel for residents of the wormhole. There are no stargates in W-Space.

Wormholes occurring within a W-Space system provide the sole method of inter-system travel for residents of that wormhole: there are no stargates in W-Space.


'''Known Space to Known Space 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 (H2H), low-to-null (L2N), null-to-high (N2H), etc.

'''Known Space to Wormhole Space Wormholes''' connect K-Space to W-Space. Players who 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. Components required to build [[Strategic Cruisers]] and their subsystems are available only in W-space.

'''Wormhole Space to Wormhole Space Wormholes''' provide the sole means of interstellar transport in W-Space since there are no gates available. Their dynamic formation and dissolution define W-Space interactions, in the form of PvE - capsuleers killing sleeper rats - or PvP - capsuleers killing each other. W-Space to W-Space wormholes are very crucial; high-class W-Space systems rarely get connections to K-Space.
'''Wormhole Space to Wormhole Space Wormholes''' provide the sole means of interstellar transport between distinct W-Space systems, since there are no gates available. Their dynamic formation and dissolution define W-Space interactions, in the form of PvE—capsuleers killing sleeper rats—or PvP—capsuleers killing each other. W-Space to W-Space wormholes are very important, in part because high-class W-Space systems rarely get direct connections to K-Space.
