==Silicoid Espionage==
(''From the official [[Master of Orion: Conquer the Stars]] Art Book'')

Silicoid espionage efforts must contend with innate and serious obstacles. Silicoids are seen as repulsive beings who are immediately rejected from alien societies and constantly met with suspicion and distrust. The Sappers, members of the Silicoid Crag’s espionage cadre, are usually forced to gain information through long-term listening posts. One of their methods is to land undetected on an enemy-held planet and bury themselves down in the substrate. Taking advantage of the Silicoid ability to go hundreds of years without moving, the Sapper simply waits and listens to the vibrations of the planet. These vibrations let them know the coming and goings of resources. If the right moment arises, depending on contingency orders, the agent can suddenly emerge to sabotage a key facility or assassinate a high-value target.
