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]].
