An espionage report provides information about a selected target before you send an attack or another mission. Espionage probes are used for spying, and the effectiveness of reconnaissance depends on your Espionage Technology level and the conditions of the mission.
How do you perform espionage?
- Open the Galaxy view or navigate to the selected target coordinates.
- Choose the espionage option.
- Send one probe or a selected number of espionage probes.
- Wait for the mission to finish and open the report in your messages.
What can you find in an espionage report?
The report can display information about the target, including its coordinates, resources, defenses, or fleet. The amount of available information depends on the effectiveness of the espionage mission and the configuration of the game mechanics.
Why should you spy before attacking?
Attacking without information is risky. An espionage report allows you to evaluate whether the target has valuable resources, what kind of defenses it has, and whether sending a fleet is worthwhile. This helps reduce losses and allows you to choose a more suitable fleet composition.
How can you improve espionage effectiveness?
Upgrade your Espionage Technology and use espionage probes. Before making an important decision, check the latest report, as the situation on an opponent's planet may change over time.

Does an espionage report guarantee a safe attack?
