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 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
