Sensor Outpost

Sensor Outposts were various installations that detected activity around the perimeter of an area. They often served as an early-warning system for bases if a vehicle not registered to the base was approaching the area. They do have weaknesses, however, they were primarily electronic, and thus they often were vulnerable to well-placed ion cannon shots. These installations also are less effective in dark environments such as nighttime or dense fog.

The Galactic Empire utilized these outposts on Prefsbelt IV, near their Imperial Academy, in order to detect would-be intruders. Because of this, Rogue Squadron, when infiltrating Prefsbelt IV, had to either evade or disable the Sensor Outposts in order to pass through the perimeter without being caught.
