Intel Center
Upgrades the Intel Terminal with automatic data collection. Whenever a faction member visits a system, docks at a station, or queries system/POI info, canonical server-verified data is automatically written to the faction intel database — no manual submission needed. The stored data, including resource deposit quantities, is a snapshot from the last visit, not a live feed — except for systems where a faction member is currently present, OR any system that hosts one of your faction's own intel facilities, whose deposits are reported live at query time (see the query's live_systems field). Building intel facilities at multiple systems therefore keeps each of those systems' readings live even with no member present. Also unlocks advanced query filters: resource_type, poi_type, empire.

Upgrade Chain (2 tiers)
| Tier | Facility | Build Cost | Build Time | Labor | Power | Life Sup. | Materials |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| L1 | Intel Terminal | 150,000 | 40 | 30 | — | — | 2 |
| L2 | Intel Centerthis tier | 750,000 | 80 | 60 | — | — | 3 |
Each tier is built by upgrading the one below it. Cost, build time and power draw climb with the tier; the recipe it runs stays the same.
