**Link the system's locus ID (the J#) to fleet members

**Ping d-scan, 360°, max range, using [[Overview_Guide#Setting_Up_a_Wormhole_Preset|Wormhole Overview Preset]]

**Run a probeless system scan, record/report the # of Anomalies.

**Evaluate your surroundings, and consider swapping gate cloak for your cloaking device

*~~Once the~~ cloaking device is active

*If you see nothing threatening, start moving, pulse your prop mod, and engage your cloaking device.

==Check for Occupancy==

Now you are cloaked and somewhat safe away from the wormhole where your chances of being de-cloaked are lowered, time to figure out who's home.

*Pull up your pod saver tab and show info on the Customs Offices.

**One of the most obvious indications of habitation is Player Owned Customs Offices (POCO's) as they are labeled with the name of the corp which set them up

**Interbus is the standard NPC Customs Office and can indicate that the system hasn't been colonized.

*Check [http://wormhol.es wormhol.es] to see if it's API digging agrees with current occupation.

**[http://wormhol.es wormhol.es] and [http://http://www.wormnav.com/ wormnav] also both have links to public killboards for browsing recent activity

*Pull up the system map and check system size.

**Make note of any planets outside of 14.36AUs as they will not appear on d-scan.

**If able to jump while cloaked, start warping to planets out of range to gather d-scan data (use both the [[Overview_Guide#Setting_Up_a_Wormhole_Preset|Wormhole Preset]] to look for force fields, and the [[Overview_Guide#Creating_a_Looting_Preset|Looting Preset]] to look for wrecks)

**While warping this is an excellent time to be making [[Safe_Spot|safe spots]].

**Make note of any planet you find an active force field and any ships nearby

==Check out the POSes==

By now you have several safe spots, and a list of the planets with active POSes on their moons, time to locate the POSes for monitoring.
