'''Intelligence''' is the information a player gathers about neutral and enemy systems in ''[[Star Wars: Rebellion]]'', where what is known at the start of a game is often incomplete or out of date. The manual's section on analyzing intelligence information treats it as a basis for anticipating attacks.<ref name="manual-p67" /><ref name="manual-p132" />

== Starting information ==
For opposing and neutral systems, the Sector window is reliable at the start only for resources, popular support and production facilities in the core. Its reports on defenses, troops, personnel and ships may be wrong or partial, and later changes go unseen. Control and popular support in core systems are always current.<ref name="manual-p67" /> The tutorial adds that without [[Espionage mission|Espionage missions]], the information on a target's planetary defenses may be incomplete.<ref name="manual-p55" /> The information on Death Star shields is only as accurate as the last report received about them.<ref name="manual-p70" />

== Sources ==
* '''Espionage missions''' to an enemy or neutral system make the Manufacturing and Production and System Defenses windows for it accurate, as a snapshot that can later go stale. An Espionage mission to a system the player controls helps detect enemy missions and enemy personnel on blockading fleets.<ref name="manual-p104" /> Bothan Spies can perform only this mission.<ref name="manual-p100" />
* '''Reconnaissance missions''' cover facilities, military units, resources, the system's popular support and which side controls it, but not the characters and Special Forces present, and not what the Manufacturing window shows. They are the only missions that can go to an unexplored system, and the units able to carry them out are the [[Longprobe Y-wing Recon Team]] and the [[Imperial Probe Droid]] only. The same information is revealed whether or not the system is populated.<ref name="manual-p105" /> See [[Reconnaissance mission]].
* '''Fleets''' sent to an unexplored system reveal the same information as a Reconnaissance mission when they arrive, and they stay there.<ref name="manual-p119" />
* '''Informants''' on enemy systems occasionally send reports, much as if an Espionage mission had been sent. The information is often incomplete, though it can equal an Espionage report, and informants are more common in systems in uprising.<ref name="manual-p102" />
* '''Foiled missions''' are reported by the player's agents, and the Mission messages category also carries news of enemy missions that were foiled.<ref name="manual-p77" /><ref name="manual-p132" />

After a system is explored, the usual resource and loyalty bars appear under it. A system that shows no facilities, defenses or loyalty indicators is unpopulated.<ref name="manual-p48" />

== Uses ==
The manual advises using espionage intelligence to pick out important enemy fleet headquarters. It also says that enemy sabotage of key defensive systems, or successful sabotage, may signal an imminent attack, and that repeated enemy missions against Alliance headquarters suggest it has been discovered.<ref name="manual-p132" /> For the Empire, finding Alliance headquarters is a step toward victory, and the manual suggests Reconnaissance missions followed by persistent Espionage missions for the search.<ref name="manual-p134" />
