W space

W-Space stands for "Wormhole Space" are refers to any solar system inside a wormhole. These systems can only be reached by flying through a wormhole and are not otherwise connected to K-Space (aka Known Space) through normal means, such as acceleration gates or jump gates.

For unknown reasons, ships, structures and modules function significantly differently in W-Space than they do in K-Space. For more information on the differences, please see Wormhole Environment Effects.

For more information on wormholes themselves, please see Wormhole.

For information on finding wormholes, please see Exploration Guide.
