Removed the update template! Everything is up to date, and I have added the 2 previously missing sites. |

Wormholes are temporary gates that can take your ship from your current system to almost anywhere else in space. They are cosmic signatures and need to be scanned with probes. Some wormholes go to highsec, lowsec, or nullsec space, and are sometimes valuable shortcuts around the universe. Some go to dangerous “uncharted” areas referred to as “wormhole space” or “w-space.” W-space areas contain the most lucrative exploration sites in the game, but most of them are guarded by powerful Sleeper NPCs, even the Relic and Data Sites that are so tame in high-sec. (As of the Phoebe release in late 2014, nullsec Relic and Data sites with Sansha, Blood Raider, Guristas, Angel and Serpentis in their names are unguarded sites in WH space. So after learning more about WH's, if you have enough data/relic skills, you could consider running these.) For these reasons, at the start of your career, you should leave wormholes alone... but don’t forget about them! Later articles will go into how you can begin dipping your exploration toe into the vast, untamed pond of wormhole space. See the [[Wormholes]] information. | Wormholes are temporary gates that can take your ship from your current system to almost anywhere else in space.

Wormhole space has its own sets of sleeper sites unique to each wormhole class. The sleepers defend these sites, for more information see [[Wormholes]]. | Wormhole space has its own sets of sleeper sites unique to each wormhole class.

Lower class 1-3 wormholes also contain pirate data and relic sites. These are identical to sites found in normal null security space. | Lower class 1-3 wormholes also contain pirate data and relic sites. These are identical to sites found in normal null security space. | ||
==== Other Sites ==== | |||
There are some more sites which involve both hacking and combat: | |||
* [[AEGIS Capital Ship Security Facility]] | |||
* [[SCC Secure Key Storage]] | |||
Both sites are very dangerous, and it is best to avoid them until you have gathered enough information on how to run them. Both sites involve PVE combat, avoiding mines, and hacking. However, they are also very lucrative. They can be found in Lowsec. | |||

Also note - when running some sites in wormholes there will be Sleepers, and all of the above still holds except local won't help and the locals may have already scanned the site so may not need to drop probes on you (of course this can also hold true anywhere - but what's life without a little risk!) | Also note - when running some sites in wormholes there will be Sleepers, and all of the above still holds except local won't help and the locals may have already scanned the site so may not need to drop probes on you (of course this can also hold true anywhere - but what's life without a little risk!) | ||

A ship for running combat sites is very different from a ship that is for running data and relic sites. Combat sites are much easier to scan than data and relic sites and the scanning is usually done in the same combat ship that is used for running the sites and not in an exploration frigate. | A ship for running combat sites is very different from a ship that is for running data and relic sites.
