In repeated cycles, scanning stations deploy three probes, referred to as Alpha, Beta and Gamma, respectively.

Due to the odd nature of interdimensional space, slipspace probes could at times return to normal space exactly where they had originally left, or re-emerge 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> The probes are not designed to function in the vicinity of gravity wells.<ref name="journal">'''Dr. Halsey's personal journal''', ''September 4, 2547'' (Excised leaves: [[:File:Halsey's Journal excised leaf 1.png|1]], [[:File:Halsey's Journal excised leaf 2.png|2]])</ref> | ||
