==Cosmic Anomalies==

Cosmic anomalies are the first type of exploration site, they appear automatically in the ship scanner whenever you enter a system. Cosmic anomalies come in a few varieties; this article deals only general site structure, see [[Probe scanning#Cosmic anomalies|Cosmic anomalies]] for a fuller listing.

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 conventions|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.

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.

Once a [[Combat_sites#Anomalies|Combat Anomaly]] has been completed it will disappear few minutes after you warp out, so make sure to bookmark the wrecks if you want to salvage them later. Ore sites will despawn when all asteroids have been depleted, or after an internal timer expires.
