Espionage probes are small, agile drones that provide data on fleets and planets. They are fitted with specially designed engine that allows them to cover vast distances in only a few seconds. Once in orbit around the target planet, they quickly collect data and transmit the report back for evaluation. But during that time they can be detected by the target and destroyed.
This unit's points do not count in destroying the fleet to shreds.

Spying
To obtain information about an enemy planet, send a spy via Fleet menu or use "Espionage" buttons in Galaxy for quick order. It is recommended to scan the planet in such a manner every time before the attack. If your potential victim has a better developed intelligence service than you, the information will come up incomplete.
