The [[Probe Droid]] is the first and currently only non-unique spy in the Star Wars Customizable Card Game. While this can be a terrific advantage, the [[Probe Droid]]'s deployment restriction makes it rather difficult for it to deploy in any deck except for a strict Star Destroyer deck. However, in that deck, the [[Probe Droid]] has little to no equal for ground defense. Being non-unique has tremendous advantages in that you never have to worry if there is another [[Probe Droid]] on the table. Plus, with [[Undercover (Dark){{!}}Undercover]], you could potentially have an [[Undercover (Dark){{!}}Undercover]] [[Probe Droid]] at every site, aiding in the deploy of such powerhouses as [[Darth Vader{{!}}Vader]] and [[Boba Fett]] to a hard to reach location. With [[Cane Adiss]], these Droids can even go to [[Dagobah (Dark){{!}}Dagobah]], which can significantly help against a [[Dagobah (Dark){{!}}Dagobah]] drain deck.

Combos:

Probe Droids + [[Nevar Yalnal]] -- While any spy works with [[Nevar Yalnal]], the Probe Droids are uniquely qualified since they are non-unique. With a [[Probe Droid]] along with a few mains with Lightsabers, you can set up a sizable Force drain, while keeping away [[Undercover (Dark){{!}}Undercover]] spies with [[Nevar Yalnal]].
