Wormhole Space, also know as the Anoikis Galaxy, is a collection semi-charted systems full of opportunity and danger. The discovery of Sleepers, an ancient Artificial Intelligence that dwells within Wormhole Space, led to groundbreaking new technology which led to the creation of Strategic Cruisers. Wormhole Space(W-Space) is lawless and has no CONCORD presence, Empire oversight or Sovereign Alliances.
Wormhole Space Characteristics
Wormhole Space has roughly 2500 known systems, each classified as one of six levels. These are commonly referred to as C1, C2, C3, C4, C5 or C6. They represent how entrenched the Sleeper occupation is and how strong the system effects(see below) can be.
Wormhole Space has no Stargates or Stations. Anybody choosing to live in W-Space must do so out of a Player Owned Starbase and accept that Wormholes will be their sole means of interstellar transport.
Visually W-Space is surrounded with cloud-like nebulae, partially blocking vision into the reaches of space. It is believed that Anoikis resides in a dense Nebula, which in turn provides necessary physical criteria for the abundant resources which are considered rare or non-existent in New Eden.

C1 systems are not very popular for harvesting or site running purposes. They are excellent for beginners. They're relatively safe, easy to run and require a low amount of skillpoints. A battlecruiser can solo the sites and a small cruiser gang will easily run the sites efficiently.
C1 systems have a niche role of being used by small Tech 3 Manufacturing Corporations. Some of these corporations will build one or two carriers which will make them very hard to evict due to POS reinforcement mechanics.

C2 wormhole systems have a special role in low-class Wormhole Space systems. They offer slightly more ISK than C1's and can be soloed by low skillpoint Battlecruiser pilots. Their special property is that they come with two statics. These statics provide guaranteed access to K-Space and W-Space.

C3 Systems are excellent for beginner wormhole corporations. They come with a K-Space statics of any kind, allowing you to pick your environment. C3's also offer good ISK for their difficulty, a battlecruiser gang with local rep or a little Tech 1 logi support will burn through the sites.

C4 Systems are not very loved. They represent the step between being a small W-Space corporation to being a hardcore one. A step most corporations or players jump over. C4's provide little more ISK than a C3 but require quite a bit more effort. C4's, much like their older brothers don't have statics to K-Space, requiring at least a two-jump chain to reach K-Space. It is worth noting however, that C4 residents like the space they live in mainly because C4's are lower maintenance both on the capital and active player front. C4's also grant access to frequent PvP.

C5 systems are the premium choice for most hardcore wormhole corporations. The sites have Capital Escalations and provide good income for any well organized group. C5's are highly connectible to other C5's, giving the nickname "The C5 Highway" to such connections and chains.

The hardest system to tame of them all, C6 wormholes represent the pinnacle of wormhole life. In truth, there is much debate between C5 and C6 residents on the merits and drawbacks of C6 wormholes. The sites have Capital Escalations like C5 sites and they spawn more frequently.
System Effects
Certain W-Space systems have effects that change the nature of your ship's statistics and/or modules. These phenomena only effect capsuleer ships, so Sleepers or structures won't be effected. The only in-game ways of telling what type of system you're in are the visual markers on the horizon or checking your fitting window for statistics changes, such as armor resists in a Wolf-Rayet. Generally players use third-party websites to check systems for effects.
Pulsar
Pulsar systems are very powerful when utilized correctly. They provide bonuses to shield amount and capacitor regeneration, effectively doubling the your shield hitpoints and halving your capacitor regeneration in C6s. Armor ships will suffer a resistance debuff, and should be used carefully or not at all.
|
Effects | Class 1 | Class 2 | Class 3 | Class 4 | Class 5 | Class 6 |
| Shield Capacity | +25% | +44% | +55% | +68% | +85% | +100% | |

| Signature Radius | +25% | +44% | +55% | +68% | +85% | +100% |
Black Hole
Black Hole systems are unloved. While some extreme doctrines may work, the nerf to effective damage of all types and align times discourage most players to run sites or settle these systems. The velocity bonus however opens the possibility of reaching amazing speeds.
|
Effects | Class 1 | Class 2 | Class 3 | Class 4 | Class 5 | Class 6 |
| Missile Velocity | -10% | -19% | -27% | -34% | -41% | -50% | |

| Falloff | -10% | -19% | -27% | -34% | -41% | -50% |
Cataclysmic Variable
Cataclysmic Variable systems basicly increase the logistics capabilities of your fleet. Self-repping won't be as viable, which might be a problem for triaging Carriers or sieging Dreadnoughts. These systems also have a bonus to capacitor amount. Don't let the capacitor recharge debuff fool you, your recharge amount stays the same so your cap stability won't be affected.

Effects | Class 1 | Class 2 | Class 3 | Class 4 | Class 5 | Class 6 |
| Local Armor Repair Amount | -10% | -19% | -27% | -34% | -41% | -50% | |

| Capacitor Recharge Time | +25% | +44% | +55% | +68% | +85% | +100% |
Magnetar
While Magnetars suffer from similar damage application reductions as black holes, they come with a massive straight-out damage bonus. Magnetars are generally liked. Running sites in them is faster.

Effects | Class 1 | Class 2 | Class 3 | Class 4 | Class 5 | Class 6 |

| Tracking Speed | -10% | -19% | -27% | -34% | -41% | -50% |
Red Giant
Red Giants are very specialized. They're not sought after, not because they're bad but because they don't have much to offer. The bonus to smartbomb range and damage can be useful, especially when camping holes. The overheating bonus will allow your overheated modules to be even more effective, but they will burn out quicker.
|
Effects | Class 1 | Class 2 | Class 3 | Class 4 | Class 5 | Class 6 |
| Heat Damage | +10% | +19% | +27% | +34% | +41% | +50% | |

| Smart Bomb Damage | +25% | +44% | +55% | +68% | +85% | +100% |
Wolf Rayet
Wolf Rayets are partially opposite to Pulsars. The obvious differences are the bonus to armor resists and the debuff to shield resists. There is also a bonus to signature radius which further enforces the armor doctrine fleets.

Effects | Class 1 | Class 2 | Class 3 | Class 4 | Class 5 | Class 6 |
| Armor Resist | +10% | +19% | +27% | +34% | +41% | +50% | |
