To send Probe Droids to
other worlds in the Galaxy, they are launched in a Hyperdrive Pod which
can transport the droid thousands of light-years to its destination. These
droids are deployed from Imperial Star Destroyers with a specific destination
in mind. When it arrives at the destined world the pod enters the planet's
atmosphere, applies emergency braking thrusters, and then the pod impacts
on the planetary surface. Once on the surface, the pod releases the Probe
Droid from its confines. Observing persons often mistake arriving pods
as meteors. The nose of the pod contains the sensor array.
