Superior (Faction) Covert Research Facility

Ghost · wormholeWormhole SpaceLocal pirate faction

The wormhole ghost site — hardest hacks, best table. Warping in cloaked delays the hidden timer until you decloak, which is worth more in J-space than anywhere. Mechanics (all ghost sites): a HIDDEN timer of ~30 seconds to 3 minutes starts when you land (or decloak) — when it expires, brutal rats warp in (~500 combined DPS even in highsec, no bounties, no drops) and the cans start exploding. Failed hacks also explode and damage your ship, unlike normal data sites. Solo, expect to hack and loot about 2 of the 4 cans before leaving. All sites can contain Covert Research Tools.
