'''The Agency''' is a neocom app that allows capsuleers to search for and engage organized EVE game content. New capsuleers are introduced to The Agency by the game. Once docked at a station for the first time, players receive instructions on how to access the user interface. This includes using The Agency to open the new player [[tutorial]].

=== Agents and Missions ===

A [[mission]] is a task assigned to the player by an NPC "agent". The agent describes the task and specifies rewards for its completion. There are different kinds of missions, each with its own set of agents. (For example, a mining agent may assign you the task of mining a certain amount of ore and returning it to the agent's station.)

=== Encounters ===

In general, "encounters" are fleet combat actions. Although at least one encounter is a single player activity (solo deadspace), and most Level 4 missions are done with fleets, the encounters listed in this section are best thought of as group efforts. Because of this complexity, most players find it worthwhile to read about a particular kind of encounter before trying it out.

[[Image:EveUiTheAgency-Exploration.png|thumb|center|upright=2]]

[[Exploration]] is a broad category of activities that mostly have to do with searching for and acquiring various items of value that can be sold to other EVE players. Acquiring these items may involve combat, explosions, and puzzle solving. Exploration is not as organized as mission running, nor as consistently productive as mining, but it can provide considerable excitement and may produce extremely valuable loot.

* [[~~Scanning#Scan results|~~Combat ~~Anomalies~~]] - pirate or other NPC sites that contain loot and, usually, NPC combat units. These appear occasionally in most systems and can be located with your ship's built-in [[directional scanner]].

* [[Combat anomalies]] - pirate or other NPC sites that contain loot and, usually, NPC combat units. These appear occasionally in most systems and can be located with your ship's built-in [[directional scanner]].

* [[~~Scanning#Scan_results|~~Cosmic ~~Signatures~~]] - hidden NPC sites of unknown origin, these can only be located with a [[Scanning|probe scanner]]. Generally, these are more difficult but more lucrative than combat anomalies.

* [[Cosmic signatures]] - hidden NPC sites of unknown origin, these can only be located with a [[Scanning|probe scanner]]. Generally, these are more difficult but more lucrative than combat anomalies.

* [[~~Combat sites#Expeditions|~~Escalations (if available)]] - also known as "expeditions", these are more advanced combat sites that appear occasionally at the completion of a regular site. Escalations are chains of up to four sites, each of which has a random chance of appearing, and each of which is located in a system with lower security than its predecessor.

* [[Escalations]] (if available) - also known as "expeditions", these are more advanced combat sites that appear occasionally at the completion of a regular site. Escalations are chains of up to four sites, each of which has a random chance of appearing, and each of which is located in a system with lower security than its predecessor.

* [[Project Discovery: Exoplanets|Project Discovery]] - a unique enterprise where players can solve puzzles that are directly connected to real world projects.

* [[Triglavian Collective|Triglavian Space]] - a new and dangerous region of space that offers solo PVE with high rewards.

The Fleet Up tool also supports filtering for fleets that are new player friendly, so fresh pilots have an easier way to spot groups that will help them on their journey and connect them to the content they're after.
