Cosmic anomalies are ungated pockets in space. They have several waves of rats that spawn when a trigger is triggered. Usually next wave appears once the previous wave has been destroyed but on some sites destroying a specific ship will trigger next wave. The last wave can contain a faction commander spawn. This commander has different [[NPC Naming Convention|name]] from normal rats and can drop valuable faction module, implant or pirate faction ship blueprint copy. Destruction of the last wave can also escalate the site. If an escalation occurs a text window will pop up with escalation message and the escalation is added to expeditions page on journal. | Cosmic anomalies are ungated pockets in space.

Some sites are run for escalations (which lead to faction loot), particularly Refuges and in nullsec, normal Rally Points. Others are run for a high amount of battleship rats for bounties, such as Forlorn/Forsaken Rally Points, Hubs, and Havens. | |||
When looking for faction spawns or escalations and your ship is able to tank the incoming damage of the waves it is possible to trigger all waves as soon as possible to get the possible faction spawn and escalation. | When looking for faction spawns or escalations and your ship is able to tank the incoming damage of the waves it is possible to trigger all waves as soon as possible to get the possible faction spawn and escalation. | ||
