Chapter ยท 1:12:25-1:13:30

Return to Haven treats reconnaissance as a mission objective

Ships decline combat when preserving intelligence and concealing what they know matters more than destroying an enemy.

Notes

Return to Haven treats collecting information as a reason to avoid a fight. Ships decline combat because they want to secure intelligence without revealing that they have obtained it. Preserving the enemy's ignorance can matter more than accepting an opportunity to attack.
