Between the numerous battles in the Gallente/Caldari war, and the Pirate war being waged in the Black Rise and Placid regions, I did a lengthy camera survey of the Alsavoinon Jovian Observatory. My results and comments are provided below.

As the Jovians desired to collect all available information as Humanity grew and expanded following our return to space, it is clear they spent exhaustive resources on these Observatories. The cloaking technology used to assemble them is sophisticated, and the structures are enormous. All of it was to support a relatively small sensor cluster located primarily on the top of the superstructure. This indicates that given their technology, only a limited amount of antenna arrays were needed to collect the information they required, but also that the structure needed to be vast in order to properly power and sustain the structure over the intended operational lifespan. The observatory includes numerous features that would seem to be unnecessary for a purely observational role, including a docking bay, however perhaps the Jovians intended to use it for a outpost during close encounter reconnaissance missions on planets nearby, either cloaked or in disguise. The fact that the Sleepers and Drifters have targeted these structures so intensely is extremely concerning, and bodes ill for possible conflicts to come.
