==Overview==
The Empire uses smuggler's coves to spy on barbarian territories and armies, much like a [[spy network]] except that it must be built on the coast. There is a cost to build and upkeep a smugglers cove and to operate them requires [[fleet|fleets]] (rather than [[military unit|military units]] like a spy network) be assigned to support them, exactly as if the fleet were supporting an Imperial navy. The more fleets are assigned to a cove, the more information about the territory is produced.

==Senate Commissions==
The [[Imperial Senate]] can pass motions to create a new smugglers cove. There is no benefit to having two smugglers coves in a territory.

===Costs===
* Materials: 10 [[Imperial_Bourse#Weirwood_Seats|weirwood]] and 30 crowns
* Time: 3 months to construct
* Upkeep: 2 thrones per season

===Limitations===
A smugglers cove can only be constructed in a [[territory]] adjacent to a [[territory#region|region]] controlled by the Empire. For example, to construct a new cove in [[Hordalant]] the Empire would need to control one of [[Liathaven#West Ranging|West Ranging]] or [[Liathaven#West Wood|Westwood]] in [[Liathaven]] or [[Bregasland#North Fens|North Fens]] or [[Bregasland#Grey Fens|Grey Fens]] in [[Bregasland]].

It is not necessary to know the name of a territory to create a smuggler's cove there; the civil service will do their best to ensure it goes in the right place if at all possible.

==Fleets==
Once complete any Imperial citizen can assign a [[fleet]] they control to support the cove. The more fleets that are assigned to operate the smugglers cove, the more information is produced.

<table>
<tr><th>Strength</th><th>Outcome</th></tr>
<tr><td>500</td><td>An overview of the territory including the names of major settlements and any armies present.</td></tr>
<tr><td>1000</td><td>Details of any fortifications in the area and the details of armies including their approximate fighting strength, the actions they are taking, and the names of any significant military commanders. More detail about the territory including an overview of trading links and connections to adjacent territories.</td></tr>
<tr><td>1500</td><td>A thorough overview of the territory, enough to produce a detailed strategic map showing the locations of fortifications and any bourse resources present.</td></tr>
</table>

The results are cumulative, so if 1500 strength in total is assigned then the players receive all the benefits listed on the table.

A copy of the information gained is provided to every player who assigned a fleet to the smugglers cove in the form of an out of character report. In addition they receive any other resources that are made available (such as shares in the [[Military_unit#Imperial_Guerdon|Imperial Guerdon]].)

Each upgrade a fleet has adds an additional 20 strength to the overall tally.
