* '''[[Cosmic Anomalies#Combat Sites|Combat Sites]]''' contain multiple NPC rats to be killed with a combat ship. They come in a variety of difficulties depending on the security level of the space where they are found.

* '''Ore sites''' contain [[Asteroids and Ore|asteroids]] to be mined for minerals or ice products; the ore is often of types ~~that are~~ not normally found in systems of ~~the~~ [[Security Rating|security rating]] ~~that the anomaly is~~ in.

* '''Ore sites''' contain [[Asteroids and Ore|asteroids]] to be mined for minerals or ice products; the ore often includes types not normally found in systems of that [[Security Rating|security rating]], i.e. anomalies in high sec may contain low sec ore etc.

* '''[[Ghost Site|Ghost Sites]]''' (also known as "Covert Research Facilities") contain 4 data/relic cans to hack, which explode if the explorer fails the hack. Also, an invisible timer (about 2 minutes) starts on the first warp-in to the site, and once it is up, indestructible NPC rats will warp in, cause all cans to explode and shoot at the explorer for a while. Tanked cruisers or larger ships, or "egg-thief" (hacking only one can quickly, then leaving) tactics are recommended. Either analyzer (and its relevant skill) may be used for the hack.

* '''[[Cosmic Anomalies#Contested Covert Research Facilities|Contested Covert Research Facilities]]''' may be found in high- or low-sec<ref name="Contested and Besieged Covert Research Facility – Mordus Legion Contraband sites">http://www.evemanufacturing.co.uk/contested-and-besieged-covert-research-facility/</ref> and are very similar to the regular Covert Research Facilities (Ghost Sites). They contain 1 data/relic can that explodes if the hacking/archaeology attempt fails. Just like Ghost Sites, there is also a hidden timer (45-60s) after which the can explodes.

Some anomaly types may have more difficult variants (featuring elite/commander rats) in addition to the basic version, sub-divided into 3 more categories:

* (Faction) Hidden (anomaly) - easiest, but still harder than the basic version

* (Faction) Forsaken (anomaly) - middle

=== Besieged Covert Research Facilities ===

Only 1 version is known, the Besieged Guristas Covert Research Facility ([https://wiki.eveonline.com/en/wiki/Besieged_Covert_Research_Facility evelopedia]). The site has two waves of Mordu's Legion cruiser and battleship rats. They use missiles and will use different damage types to test your resistances to find the weakest one, in addition to [[Tackling|tackling]] you with webs and points. Notable loot, some of it coming from the destructible structures (Guristas Research and Trade Hubs and/or Thukker Labs) which may be found in these sites, includes higher-end implants and ~~Ship Skin~~ [[BPC]]s, as well as some special module BPCs.

=== Contested Covert Research Facilities ===

The only known variant is the Contested Guristas Covert Research Facility ([https://wiki.eveonline.com/en/wiki/Contested_guristas_covert_research_facility evelopedia]). 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 ~~[[BPC]]s~~ to build the Mordu's Legion ships.

Even an exploration frigate (Magnate, Heron, Imicus or Probe) can be fitted to survive this with 2-3 cheap T1/meta [[Tanking|tanking]] modules swapped into the regular exploration fit: for example, on the [[Imicus]]/[[Heron]]/[[Probe]] using this wiki's basic exploration/scanning fits, one could:
