And then of course you have the ESU navigation assistance beacons, AKA
"fishing trawlers", which are designed to prevent interference with
astronomical observation (i.e. are very heavily stealthed) and to avoid
spectrum-swamping radio noise (i.e. only communicate by tight-beam
laser). Naturally, they assist in keeping astrographic information
up-to-date, and therefore carry powerful suites of observation
equipment.
