Probe Droid is a Dark Character (Droid) from Hoth.
Card Text
May deploy only if a Star Destroyer on table. During your control phase, may glance at X cards randomly selected from opponent's hand, where X = number of [Light Side Force] icons at same site. May Force drain, initiate battle and be battled.
Lore
Arakyd Viper probe droid. Has sensors specifically designed to detect traces of Rebel activity. Equipped with an auto-destruct mechanism. A highly durable spy droid.
Strategy
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, you could potentially have an Undercover Probe Droid at every site, aiding in the deploy of such powerhouses as Vader and Boba Fett to a hard to reach location. With Cane Adiss, these Droids can even go to Dagobah, which can significantly help against a 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 spies with Nevar Yalnal.
