Analysis

The use of non-standard classes is uncommon. There are a grand total of 48 non-standard object classes, which are used by 135 SCPs. Most of the SCPs using these classes are either 001 proposals or entries in the 2000, 3000, 4000 or 5000 contest. Only 38 of the classes and 118 of the SCPs appear outside of the 001 hub. (Note: some SCPs are used more than one class; these SCPs were only counted once).

Only the Apollyon, Hiemal, Archon, Tiamat, Yesod, Cernunnos, Gödel, Ticonderoga, Eparch, Maksur, Kušum, Terminal, Decommissioned and Anomalous classes appear in more than one entry. Most of the remaining classes were essentially designed as one-offs: they have such specific criteria that they can’t feasibly be reused.
