Just to further drive the point home, (not being arrogant), a C5 with a static C5 will always have a connection to a random C5. Once you are done and your H296 has been collapsed, a new H296 will spawn in your home system of J100999, that is whats meant by a static, you will ALWAYS have at least one of these wormhole occur in your system which will ALWAYS lead to w-space system of specific class. (There are a lot of tutorials out there for this and I wont go into further details). So you decide to 'collapse' your wormhole, this can be done by intentionally putting through a lot of mass through your naturally occurring corridor. Now, lets say you don't like the way that John is nervously jumping back and forth between his cov ops and his Moros. It will say that the wormhole came from either Unknown (C1, C2, C3), Dangerous Unknown (C4, C5), Deadly Unknown(C6) or High Sec, Low Sec and Null Sec. To find out the type of the system from which it opened you can right click on it and click Show Info. It means that the wormhole originated in another system and opened up into your system. A K162 wormhole is an incoming connection. From his perspective the connection looks like this: W-Space system J100999 (C5) > K162 > W-Space system J234879 What? Why would it be different? Well, its simple. Now, lets for a second assume that the J234879 system into which we opened is occupied by a small corp and only a single pilot name John is online to witness us opening a connection into his home system. H296 will ALWAYS lead to another Class 5 wormhole. Like this: W-Space system J100999 (C5) > H296 > W-Space system J234879 In my illustration above I basically show that a star system (J100999), much like any other in the game, is connected to another star system (J234879) through an H296 wormhole, which act as a natural jump gate. What that means is that any time our 'static' wormhole is closed we will have a new wormhole open up into another, random Class 5 w-space system.

It happens to be a Class 5 w-space system and it has a 'static' C5 and is known as H296 type wormhole. Let create an example w-space system, this is a system our hypothetical clones currently reside in. So let me explain the last part in a little more detail. Static Wormhole - Is a wormhole type that will connect your w-space system to another w-space system whose class will ALWAYS be the same. Denizens of New Eden can only reach these through the naturally occurring wormholes. It has a few unique attributes, a w-space system will never have any asteroid belts and cannot be connected by any jump gates. W-Space - Is a star system, very similar to a known-space system. These systems are usually connected by one or more jump gates built by New Eden inhabitants. K-Space - Any empire, lowsec or null sec system is a k-space system (Known-Space). So the definitions are as follows: Wormhole - a naturally occurring phenomenon that create a passage between two systems.

So lets back up for a moment and use correct jargon to clear up some of the confusions.
