'''Wormholes''', introduced in [http://community.eveonline.com/news/patch-notes/patch-notes-for-apocrypha-1 Apocrypha], are rifts in space that connect two locations. Like stargates, they allow the travel of ships from one system to another. Unlike stargates, wormholes are not permanent. They connect two systems for only a short time and collapse when either their lifespan ends or too much mass has passed through them. Wormholes can connect any two systems regardless of distance from each other, providing temporary shortcuts to areas that would otherwise take many jumps to reach. Wormholes can also connect to uncharted space, or the Anoikis galaxy (henceforth referred to as [[Wormhole_Space|Wormhole Space]] or W-Space). These systems are uncharted, and do not operate like normal systems. In [http://community.eveonline.com/news/patch-notes/patch-notes-for-rhea Rhea], new types of wormholes were introduced - the massive wormhole system with stations, [[Thera]], and [[Shattered Wormhole Space|Shattered Wormholes]], mysterious spaces which cannot have any residents.

Recently the [[Drifters]] have appeared and with them 5 Drifter wormhole systems that are marked from known space with a "unidentified wormhole" beacon.

Since there are no gates available in W-Space systems these wormholes provide the sole means of interstellar transport. 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; there are some W-Space systems that rarely get connections to K-Space.

~~===All Spaces to Thera Wormholes===~~

[[File:Thera.jpg|400px|thumb|left|A wormhole leading to Thera]]

With the introduction of the only named wormhole ~~systems~~ [[Thera]], there are now wormholes that connect K-space and W-space to it. [[Thera]] has a number of connections, generally documented publicly at [http://www.eve-scout.com/ Eve-Scout].

===Any Space to Thera Wormholes===

With the introduction of the only named wormhole system [[Thera]], there are now wormholes that connect K-space and W-space to it. [[Thera]] has a number of connections, generally documented publicly at [http://www.eve-scout.com/ Eve-Scout].

===Known Space to Drifter Wormholes===

Drifter Wormhole systems seem to have 3 to 5 connections to known space plus a static C2 connection. The known space to Drifter wormholes are special in that they have a beacon called "unidentified wormhole" on the known space side, so they do not need to be scanned down from that side. They have unique wormhole signatures in known space:

* C414 leading to J200727 (Pulsar) - Conflux

* V928 leading to J164710 (Magnetar) - Vidette

* R259 leading to J174618 (Wolf-Rayet) - Redoubt

* S877 leading to J055520 (Red Giant) - Sentinel

* B735 leading to J110145 (Cataclysmic Variable) - Barbican

Inside the wormhole from inside the Drifter system has a normal K162 signature when opened and needs to be scanned down as usual, but is deadspaced, so can only be warped to at 80km. Drifter battleships guard these wormholes and attack anybody trying to pass them. The nature of these wormholes and the Drifter systems is still shifting and a mystery.
