In repeated cycles, scanning stations deploy three probes, referred to as Alpha, Beta and Gamma, respectively. These probes are designed to survive the transition into [[Slipstream space]]. They journey into slipspace for a short period of time where they send out radio pings and analyze the spectrum from radio to X-ray. The probes then re-enter back into normal space and broadcast the data collected back to their stations. Due to the odd nature of interdimensional space, slipspace probes could at times return to normal space exactly where they had original left or reemerge millions of kilometers away. In some cases, probes never returned back at all. Scanning stations had to dispatch drones to retrieve the probes before the process could be repeated. <ref>'''Halo: The Fall of Reach''', ''page 136''; ''2010'', ''page 160</ref> | In repeated cycles, scanning stations deploy three probes, referred to as Alpha, Beta and Gamma, respectively.
