Galactic Observatory
Track precise cooldown matrices for Pirate Ship Scans, Unknown Object item timers, and scout targeting variables.
The Galactic Observatory is an advanced sensor array that allows you to observe other players' bases via Scouting, revealing their defenses and fleet movements. It also provides access to the Galaxy Map.
Scan Generation
The Galactic Observatory periodically generates scan items that can be collected and used to spawn celestial objects near your planet:
- Pirate Ship Scan — spawns a Pirate Ship nearby. Generated every 2 hours, up to a maximum of 12.
- Unknown Object Scan — spawns an Unknown Object nearby. Generated every 6 hours, up to a maximum of 4.
Scans accumulate over time. Collect them from the building detail view and use them from your inventory to choose a tier and spawn the object.
