Epsilon Octanus System, near Helios
The ONI Merrimack-class prowlers Eclipse, High Noon, Red Horse, Black Cat and Aladdin operate under radar and optical cloak in the outer Epsilon Octanus System on a routine scouting mission. When preparing to return to Tenelapis, they spot Helios and pick up numerous Protoss ships and small fightercraft on their radar.

The prowlers move closer to the planet, not known as Helios by ONI, but as Epsilon Octanus-VI. Remaining out of radar detection range, the prowlers collect useful data for the UAC and her allies; topography, climate, foliage, natural resources, military installations, and the current state of the Protoss military. ONI and Admiral Parangosky would be pleased with the findings and based on the Protoss' military state, they are still large in ground forces but weak in terms of capital ships and support vessels. No WMDs were also detected under the planet's surface, which would be easier for ground troops if an invasion of the planet were to happen.

After collecting the data, the prowlers set a course for Tenelapis and enter slipspace, all without detection. The data is also sent directly to ONI, in the case of a surprise attack, which luckily did not happen.
