Sith Probe Droids, also known as DRK-1 Dark Eye Probe Droids, were droids used by the Sith to locate certain objects or beings. Darth Maul had at least three of these on his Sith Infiltrator, which he used to find Qui-Gon Jinn and Padmé Amidala on Tatooine.

Description

Original

The original variant comprised of two pieces: a Black minifigure head and a piece normally used as a joystick. While more to scale then the redesign, this version lacked details such as the photoreceptor, or eye, of the droid.

Redesign

The 2012 redesign is larger than the original variant and is made up of more parts. It consists of a center brick with two dome-like pieces on either side and a transparent light blue stud as the photoreceptor in the middle. An antenna, made with a joystick piece, is located on the right side.

Background

The Sith Probe Droid was used to locate certain people or objects or to stakeout locations. They were plated in a special armour that baffled most security scanners and could therefore move about nearly undetected. Predominantly used as a spy droid only that would report back to the user, they were later upgraded, equipped with light blasters, mini grenade launchers and poison darts. This gave them a means of defense should they come under attack, a measure that was likely implemented after Jedi Master Qui-Gon Jinn sliced one of Darth Maul's probe droids in half. Probe droids have three imaging sensors and one audio recorder. The antenna allows it to relay data back to the programmed source.

Notes

• Although the photoreceptor is depicted as transparent light blue, in the movie the Probe Droid's is black.
