Wormholes are tranisient phenomena that allow instantaneous transit across vast distances in space.  They may be found in every solarsystem in New Eden. Wormhole Space is lawless (0.0) but at times extremly rewarding. Wormhole systems contain [[Exploration]] sites which are guarded by [[Sleeper|Sleeper Drone NPCs]]. Wormhole space was introduced in the Apocrypha expansion and gives pilots 2500 systems to play around in.
The term Wormhole is used to describe both the portals to unknown space and the space itself on the other side of the portal.  Wormholes are tranisient phenomena that allow instantaneous transit across vast distances in space.  They may be found in every solarsystem in New Eden. Wormhole Space is the lawless (0.0) solarsystems that exist apart from the known solarsystems of New Eden.  These solarsystems can at times be extremly rewarding. Wormholes were introduced with the Apocrypha expansion and give pilots an extra 2500 solarsystems to play around in.

You can scan down Wormholes from anywhere within New Eden by using the System Scanner (found in the same menu as the Directional Scanner). This is done by fitting a Scan Probe Lancher and loading it with Probes.  The results of the probes' findings are read on the System Scanner.

Wormholes link Known Space (k-space) with Wormhole Space (w-space). K-space includes all the solarystems contained in the Star Map.  If you can set a destination to it, a system is k-space, even if it is deep within nullspace (0.0).

Wormholes also link separate w-space solarsystems (or pockets).  There are no Stargates in w-space.  Once inside w-space, wormholes are the only way to get from one system to another. ALL wormholes are randomly placed and are temporary.  A given wormhole allows only a certain amount of mass to go through it before it will destabilize and close forever.

If a wormhole closes and you are inside a pocket, there are only two ways to get out - find another WH or self-destruct your pod.  The good news is, there's always another wormhole.  The moral is, never go into w-space without a scan probe launcher and probes.

Any new wormhole you find may lead to ANYWHERE (even deep 0.0) in Eve, it may also lead to another pocket deeper into w-space ([[Division 6|D6]] calls this "going deeper down the rabbit hole").  There are often several wormholes into and out of the same w-space solarsystem.
