About the Bureau
PERISCOPE is the public field catalogue of the Anoikis Cartographic Bureau. Every J-designated system of wormhole space, its statics, its phenomenon, and the mass it will pass before it closes. Filed neatly. Updated when there is something to update and someone to do it.
In less ceremonial terms: a fast, modern reference for EVE Online wormhole space. The ceremony is optional. The data is not.
Mandate
To survey Anoikis. To file what is found. To make no promises. The Bureau was chartered to map a region of space that rearranges its own exits on a schedule it declines to share. The Bureau considers the effort to be going well, by the one metric it will commit to, which is that the filing continues.
The Ministry
The Bureau reports to the Department of Spatial Relations of the Ministry of Pantoscopic Observance, which operates the estate's other public instrument, PANTOSCOPE, for pilot dossiers, local reads, scanner windows, and routes. A periscope is the instrument consulted from concealment before surfacing; the Bureau finds the metaphor adequate and has stopped discussing it.
What is filed here
| Systems | The 2,604 J-systems of Anoikis. Class, sector, and resident phenomenon, where one has taken up residence. |
| Statics | The connections a system always keeps. Roll one, another of its kind opens. The destination class is fixed; the system on the far side is a stranger every time. |
| Phenomena | Stellar conditions (Pulsar, Magnetar, Black Hole, and the rest) that revise your ship's statistics without consultation. Stronger in higher classes, as a rule, and the rule holds. |
| Types | Wormholes by signature code (N766, K162, and company). Each rated for mass and lifetime. Ratings are sincere. |
How to read a filing
Total mass is what a hole will pass before it closes for good. Per-jump limit is the heaviest single ship that fits, and every crossing subtracts that ship's mass from the total, whether the ship made it or not.
Lifetime is the longest a hole lives if nobody touches it. Nobody leaves it untouched. A hole reports stable, then destabilised (about half its mass spent), then critical (a polite word for imminent). Spawn mass varies by roughly ten percent in either direction, which is the Bureau's way of saying: do not bring the freighter on the figures alone.
Rolling is closing a hole on purpose by feeding it mass until it gives up, to lock out a threat, or to retire a static and draw a fresh destination. The mass bars on each model page show what one maximum crossing costs. Count carefully. The hole is also counting, and it does not show its work.
Sources & method
The Bureau does not scan. The Bureau collates. Reference data is drawn from anoik.is, the community's canonical record of which static spawns where, itself the product of years of patient on-grid scanning by other people entirely. The Bureau normalises it, checks it, bakes it flat, and re-files on patch days. Class, system, and dogma figures trace ultimately to the official Static Data Export. This catalogue is edition v11, last filed June 25, 2026. Discrepancies are the territory's fault.
Re: the Sleepers
The Bureau has, on file, forty-one requests for comment submitted to the Sleepers regarding the systems in their care. Replies received: none. The Bureau continues to file anyway, out of professional habit. Where this catalogue and the Sleepers disagree, the Sleepers are presumed correct, unavailable, and watching. The Bureau thanks them for their silence, which has been consistent.
