Wormhole Facts
All wormhole space is considered 0.0
Players will not show up on local chat unless they talk.
You can set up a POS but you cannot mine moons.
You can get to other wormholes inside a wormhole up to 3 deep.
Some wormholes respawn right after they despawn…making them basically Static. A K162 wormhole is always an incoming wormhole from somewhere else.
Wormhole Environments
There are 6 different environments that wormhole space can be: Black Hole, Cataclysmic Variable, Magnetar, Pulsar, Red Giant, Wolf-Rayet. Each has its own advantages and disadvantages. These effects increase as the class of the wormhole gets higher. A quick summary of the effects are.

What’s inside??? SLEEPERS!
What is a sleeper? Sleepers are what is left of an old ancient race that were descendants of humans. All that is left of them at this time are unmanned drones protecting what remains of their technology and are only found in wormholes.
Each site you scan down may or may not have sleepers zipping around when you get there. If you arrive and the area is clear, be ready for some to spawn to defend their property. Spawns are triggered by mining, or hacking, etc.
Most spots will have waves of Sleepers, getting increasingly harder. They will eventual stop usually after 4 waves, letting you reap the wealth of the spot you found.
What’s in a name?
The first name to learn is Untouched. Untouched means that no one has done anything to the site ever. You found a fresh site. Sites that are never interacted with will last for 3 to 4 days before they despawn
