Detected Sites (sov hub exploration upgrades)
Sov-null's manufactured exploration: hubs with Exploration Upgrades spawn 'Detected' relic/data sites (Detected Ruined/Central (Faction) (Site)) within 5 jumps, in the region's native faction — drone regions included. Harder to scan than normal sites (L3–L4 minimum). Completing one can escalate: relic sites to Emergent Ruins or Interrupted Expedition, data sites to Interrupted Expedition. In drone regions, hacking the FIRST can completes (and can despawn) the site — finish what you start.
