+== Combat anomalies ==
+'''Combat anomalies''' are a subset of Cosmic Anomalies; they do not need any scanning equipment to locate, and instead will automatically appear in the scanning window after a short delay upon entering a system. Because of this, combat anomalies, particularly those found in high-security space, represent an entry-level set of combat sites that many new players will encounter. All anomalies consist of a single grid without acceleration gates that be entered by any type of ship. Combat anomalies will spawn multiple waves of hostile NPCs, and have a low chance to spawn a commander ship that can drop faction items; they also have a small chance of escalating into a DED rated complex.
+With the exception of Rogue Drone sites, all combat anomalies follow a naming scheme of {{co|#9ef37c|<faction> <anomaly>}}. The {{co|#9ef37c|<anomaly>}} denotes the difficulty of the site, and follows an identical pattern for all factions except Rogue Drones. Generally, the higher the difficulty of the site, the higher the rewards for completing it. Each faction's sites will only appear in their designated regions (with the exception of [[Rogue Drone]] sites, which can appear anywhere). For example, the Heimatar region has [[Angel Cartel]] rats, and therefore only Angel Cartel and Rogue Drone combat sites can be found there. For a list of which pirate factions can be found in which regions, see [http://evemaps.dotlan.net/region Dotlan].
+The difficulty of possible combat anomalies depends on the [[System Security|security status]] of the system, with higher security status equating to easier sites. Within [[high-sec]] (security status 1.0 to 0.5), sites in the lowest difficulty tier (in terms of difficulty/ value) will be found. [[Low-sec]] (security status of 0.4 to 0.1) contains the middle tier, and the highest tier will be found within [[nullsec]]. The security level of the space where Rogue Drone sites are found also affects the difficulty of the site.

+In addition to their basic version, Hideaway, Den, Rally Point and Hub sites also feature three variants of progressive difficulty featuring elite enemies. These variants follow an extended naming convention as follows:
+# {{co|#9ef37c|<Faction>}} Hidden {{co|#9ef37c|<anomaly>}} - Level 2; higher amount of triggered spawns.
+# {{co|#9ef37c|<Faction>}} Forsaken {{co|#9ef37c|<anomaly>}} - Level 3; moderate difficulty, featuring elite enemy ships.
+# {{co|#9ef37c|<Faction>}} Forlorn {{co|#9ef37c|<anomaly>}} - Level 4; featuring tougher enemies and elite ships.
+=== Besieged Covert Research Facility ===
+'''Besieged Guristas Covert Research Facility''' is an unique cosmic anomaly found in all low sec regions that spawns two waves of Mordu's Legion cruisers and battleships equipped with webifiers and warp disruptors. Unlike other enemies, these ships are able to switch damage types to find what is most effective against a given target (they do not deal omni damage). Notable loot includes higher-end implants and ship [[skin]] [[BPC]]s, as well as special module BPCs.
