Mission types: Information gathering: Information Gathering

The Force Unleashed Campaign Guide is rather vague when mentioning the gathered “intelligence when working in the galaxy abroad”. Though, it is possible to assume that it is strategic in nature (i.e. information affecting decision-making), pertains to the interests of the Jedi and of the organization (such as the status of conflicts, the economy and so forth) and may be acquired lawfully or otherwise (“we were good spies”).

On the other hand, “reconnaissance” covers a rather specific meaning, thus implying that the Antarian Rangers conduct operational intelligence, used in preparation for operations. Although no specifics are available, it may cover aspects as diverse as keeping tabs on troop movements to pinpointing specific locations or painting targets.
