Each sector requires at least 8 scouting vessels to visit all inhabitable systems once every 4 octants.   This permits the detection of a significant base (JIM0000 "Pretty much any ship will detect an Exterminator construction base because it is big and doing hi-visibility things like strip-mining resources").  For smaller objects, the spotting rules in the rulebook are relevant.  These vessels require Logs support if they are to maintain their patrols indefinitely.

===== History=====
During the Exterminator War, Humanity agreed to start a program of scouting the "eastern" sectors; DF, DJ, EF, EG, EH, EI and EJ. Details of these efforts, AT A POINT IN THE PAST, can be found at Martyn Pott's [[http://www.gamma-leporis.org/Mainframe.htm|IISS]] page (the NSC, ESC and SSC links).
At the inter-polity summit at NEW MARS in 3211, it was agreed that this program be extended to all adjacent sectors as it was appreciated that an enemy could come from any direction.
