'''The Reconnaissance mission''' is a mission in ''[[Star Wars: Rebellion]]'' that explores a system and reports what is there. It is carried out by special forces, not by characters.<ref name="ency" />

== Targets and participants ==
Any system outside the sending side's control can be targeted, explored or not, and no other mission is able to reach an unexplored system.<ref name="manual-p105" /> Two unit types may carry it out: [[Longprobe Y-wing Recon Team]]s and [[Imperial Probe Droid]]s.<ref name="manual-p105" /> The manual describes the Longprobe as one of the Alliance's SpecForces and notes that some are often available at the start of a game.<ref name="manual-p43" /> After the player picks the unexplored target, the Create Mission window offers Reconnaissance as the only choice, and the unit begins as soon as it arrives.<ref name="manual-p46" />

== Information revealed ==
The report covers what is built there, the military units, resources, loyalty and the controlling side. It leaves out characters and special forces present, and the Manufacturing window's data is not revealed. The same information comes back whether or not the system is populated.<ref name="manual-p105" /> The encyclopedia lists controlling side, facilities, fleets and ships, and trooper regiments.<ref name="ency" />

== Alternative ==
A fleet cannot be sent on the mission itself, but a fleet that moves to an unexplored system learns the same details. Unlike a recon unit, it stays there instead of returning.<ref name="manual-p119" />
