'''The Espionage mission''' is a mission in ''[[Star Wars: Rebellion]]'' that gathers information about a system, its forces and its personnel.<ref name="ency" />

== Targets and participants ==
The in-game encyclopedia gives enemy or neutral systems as targets, while the manual lists any explored system.<ref name="ency" /><ref name="manual-p104" /> Characters and special forces may go on it. It is the only mission [[Bothan Spies]] can perform.<ref name="manual-p100" /> The manual names Han Solo as a character better suited to leading one than to diplomacy.<ref name="manual-p13" />

== Skill and result ==
Success rests on the espionage ratings of the team.<ref name="ency" /> After a successful mission to an enemy or neutral system, what the Manufacturing and Production window and the System Defense window display for it is accurate. This is a snapshot that can change later. Sent to a system the player already controls, the mission helps expose enemy missions headed there and enemy personnel on blockading fleets.<ref name="manual-p104" /> The manual compares it with reports from informants, which are often incomplete.<ref name="manual-p102" />

== Strategy notes in the manual ==
To locate the Alliance headquarters, the manual suggests first scouting unexplored systems with [[Reconnaissance mission|Reconnaissance]], then sending repeated Espionage missions.<ref name="manual-p134" />
