your close dean,

the RMN found a way to use gravation pulses, which in the HH universe
travel FTL, to send messages.  The RMN would mount this system on remote
sensor drones, which would send a message, containing data on the enemy
fleet, over these gravatic pulses, kinda like morse code.

basically it gave them real time sensor data on an incoming force, as
apposed to waiting for whatever prevous data transmission media to give
them a sensor lock on there opponents
