Active Power Sources contain approximately four [[S4 Sentry|S4 Sentry Skimmers]], as well as a [[data point]] that can be scanned. The skimmers are not hostile when approaching the site by ship, SRV, or on foot, and do not appear to become hostile after scanning the data point. However, do note that entering the area is considered entering a trespassing zone.
