Hmmmm

The definition of the Force Concentrations Mission is "Stolen empire communications detail ship concentrations in various areas"

I think that comes under my definition of a weapon given previously as:

"I view a weapon as anything that limits, damages or destroys an asset of the enemy."

In this particular case, the asset is secrecy. Uncovering the "veil of secrecy" exposes the enemies secret concentrations and allows the empire to use that information to their advantage and the enemies disadvantage

If it can include something non-damaging as a weapon, then that definition of a weapon is a little flawed.
