Radar Station
The Radar Station is a moon-only detection array in Per Regna. It scans hostile and pirate planets for fleet activity and lengthens early-warning push alerts when your worlds are attacked.
Mechanics
- Moon-only — build on moons orbiting the planet you want to defend or scout from
- Each level adds +1 minute to defender early-warning time (best radar among moons around the target is used)
- Fleet scans cost Gas (scales with distance); range grows about +1 system grid every two levels
Special capabilities
Fleet scans
Run a fleet scan on an enemy or pirate planet in range to reveal missions, timing, composition, and cargo for fleets tied to that world. Full rules: Radar Station scans.
Radar does not reveal:
- Fleets that launched from a moon (use moon staging for stealth)
- Other players' fleets returning home after reaching the scanned planet (the planet's own fleets are shown on their way back)
- Targets beyond radar range
Early warning
Colony-under-attack notifications fire in a 10–30 minute window before arrival. Radar pushes toward the long end; attacker Frigate escorts shorten it. Details: Fleet Detection.
Strategy
- Build on moons of farm worlds and capitals you expect to be hit
- Pair with Sensor Array on other moons for asteroid/pirate intel (different tool)
- Defenders: more radar levels = more reaction time vs Frigate stealth
Lore
Radar stations combine long-range sensor arrays, gravitational scanners, and hyperspace monitoring systems.
These installations often detect hostile fleets hours before they reach a colony.

- Fleet Detection — early-warning alerts, fleet scans, moon stealth
- Frigate — attack escort that shortens defender warning
- Sensor Array — asteroid / pirate scans (not the same as radar fleet scans)
