Alpha Probe

Alpha Probe is a generic UNSC term referring to one of the Slipstream Space probes used by Remote Scanning Outposts. It sends out radio pings and analyzes the spectrum from radio to X-ray. The Alpha Probe, like all probes used by the RSOs, is designed to be able to survive the transition from slipspace to normal space in order to collect data.

In 2552, the Alpha Probe of the Archimedes, a remote scanning outpost at the edge of the Sigma Octanus System, detected a Covenant fleet en route to the planet Sigma Octanus IV. The Alpha Probe of the RSO Fermion in the Epsilon Eridani System was also the first to detect the silhouette of the incoming Fleet of Particular Justice in August 30, 2552.
