One of R&D's main ways to harvest research points, and the leading cause of headaches in captains of non-coordinated stations. Anomalous Research is a subdepartment of science focused around the containment and manipulation of various unique anomalies.
Anomalies
Anomalies are special entities created by the Anomaly Generator, located in the R&D department. They can also be generated by random events. the properties of each anomaly vary wildly, but they all share a set of similar characteristics.
- they cannot be moved by conventional means (pushing/pulling)
- they cannot be interacted with in any meaningful way without the use of anomalous particle acceleration technology (A.P.E./C.H.I.M.P)
- they all perform "pulses", periodic bursts of energy with varying effects based on the type of anomaly.
- they can all be "harvested" by an anomaly vessel for the passive generation of research points
- they all pose a significant hazard to the station and the crew
| Image | Name | Description | Critical Event |
|---|---|---|---|
| Pyroclastic | Bright pink and extremely hot. Constantly heats up the surroundings and periodically sets its surroundings aflame. | Explodes into huge amounts of burning steam. | |
| Electric | A small mote of light. Constantly emits light and periodically shocks everything nearby. | Emits an electromagnetic storm that zaps everyone nearby and destroys electrical systems. | |
| Gravitational | A dark orb. Constantly pulls nearby light/medium objects toward itself and periodically pushes them away. | Causes a very large explosion | |
| Flesh | A pulsating sphere of meat. Periodically spawns hostile flesh monsters. | The anomaly evolves into "flesh kudzu", a mass of meaty vines that spread anywhere they can, looking for prey. | |
| Bluespace | A collection of glowing blue rings. Constantly acts as a one-way portal to a random nearby location and periodically changes its position on the station. |
