Editing Anomaly

An '''anomaly''' is a [[galactic feature]] representing something unusual that a {{Ship|Survey Ship}} can {{Ship Ability|Survey}} to unlock a random effect and gain {{Experience Points|+5}}. In base {{GC3}}, there are 5 classes of anomalies: artifacts, capsules, ship graveyards, space junk and wormholes. The [[Precursor Worlds DLC]] adds precursor anomalies.

== Rarity ==

Each class of anomaly has an associated rarity, depending on whether the [[Precursor Worlds DLC]] is installed.

=== Artifacts ===

Artifacts are objects left behind by some ancient race. Most of the time they simply benefit the {{Treasury}}.

| Precursor Builders || 4% || Finish construction at nearest [[colony]]
|-
| Unfortunate Genius || 4% || Finish current {{Research}} project
|-

|}

=== Capsules ===

Capsules contain randomized rewards.

|-
| Lost Cargo || 33% || Gain +1 of a random [[galactic resource]]
|}

=== Ship graveyards ===

Upon reaching a ship graveyard, there is a 75% change that a pirate fleet, consisting of two {{Icon|cutter}} [[tiny hull]] [[pirate]] attack [[ship]]s, each armed with a dual {{Beam|Lasers}}, will attack the survey fleet. Once within the graveyard, the survey will discover a random ship or a bonus to the survey fleet.

=== Wormholes ===

As the rarest class of anomaly, a wormhole will transport the {{Ship|Survey Ship}} to a random tile in the galaxy.

== Precursor Anomalies in the Precursor World DLC ==

Upon reaching a precursor anomaly, the survey fleet will be attacked by a precursor fleet, consisting of 8 {{Icon|cutter}} drones, one of which is a larger, flagship drone. The smaller, [[tiny hull]] drones are armed with a {{Beam|Particle beam}}, while the larger [[cargo hull]] drone has 5 {{Beam|Particle beams}}. Upon defeating the drones, the fleet discovers a treasure worth {{Treasury|+500 to +1500}} and the civilization gains a significant bonus, depending on the anomaly.
