'''Remote Scanning Outposts''' are small manned stations on the edges of systems controlled by the [[UNSC]]. Remote Scanning Outposts, sometimes also referred to as "Remote Sensing Stations," are usually manned by a small crew of Naval personnel. They scan deep space and [[Slipspace]] for any sign of scientific phenomena, pirates, and incoming [[Covenant]] vessels. They usually carry a payload of three probes which enter Slipspace, scan, and reemerge to return their information to the outpost<ref>[[Halo: Fall of Reach]], Page 283</ref>. | |||
Remote Scanning Outposts are required to send hourly reports of all activities to the habitable planets in the system. They are also required to sound the alarm should they detect any suspicious activity in Slipspace. As a sort of "lookout" system, these outposts took newfound importance after the information they transmit proved critical in countering the Covenant invasion of [[Sigma Octanus IV]] during [[The Battle of Sigma Octanus IV]]. After this struggle, [[HIGHCOM]] moved some of its best officers from core installations such as [[Fort York]] into Remote Scanning Outposts<ref>[[Halo: Fall of Reach]], Page 283</ref>. Once again, the information an outpost provided prevented the UNSC from being caught completely off guard at [[The Battle of Reach]]. | Remote Scanning Outposts are required to send hourly reports of all activities to the habitable planets in the system.
