______________________________________________________________

Character Bio - Following the Battle of Yavin, the Empire committed thousands of probe droids to scour the galaxy for hidden Rebel Alliance bases, specifically the Alliance High Command headquarters. It was a probe droid, launched from the Imperial II-class Star Destroyer Stalker, that landed on the ice planet Hoth and discovered the Rebellion's Echo Base Shield Generator and reported the find directly to Darth Vader.

With the initial contact reported, the probe continued on its mission. It proceeded to meticulously map out the Echo Base defenses, including the surrounding trenches, artillery emplacements, and even the size, model, and location of the v-150 anti-orbital ion cannon, as well as observing troop movements and positions. This information was received by General Maximilian Veers. He and his commanders used this invaluable tactical information to plan the attack, a testament to the Empire's incredible preparedness during the Battle of Hoth. (Wookieepedia)

FULL SPECTRUM SCANNING
When a figure you control attacks an opponent's figure that is within 8 spaces of a Probe Droid you control, any special power preventing clear sight to the defending figure is negated for that attack. The defending figure may not roll any additional defense dice or use any special abilities due to the type of terrain it occupies or is adjacent to.

SELF-DESTRUCT PROGRAMMING
If this Probe Droid is attacked and at least 1 skull is rolled, instead of rolling defense dice, you may roll 1 attack die against each figure adjacent to this Probe Droid. A skull counts as an unblockable hit on that figure. After using Self-Destruct Programming, destroy this Probe Droid.

HOVER REPULSORLIFTS
This Probe Droid may move over water and molten lava without stopping, and Slippery Ice and Heavy Snow only count as 1 space when moving. This Probe Droid never receives a Road movement bonus or rolls for molten lava or lava field damage. If this Probe Droid's Hover Repulsorlifts power is negated because of any special power on an Army Card or Glyph, destroy this Probe Droid.

Probe Droid vs. Probe Droid would nuke each other.

While this isn't exactly "Synergy Imposed ", but Kira Jax can negate all of the Probe Droid's Special Powers to destroy him.

Funny thing is that with both Kira and the Probe Droid being Scouts, [if they're both on the battlefield] they could be on the same team more often than not.

Being a figure that follows the Galactic Empire, the Probe Droid may benefit from Grand Moff Tarkin's IMPERIAL DEPLOYMENT special power.

I didn't have these guys for the longest time because of their price. For anybody that wants these guys you could always get them in the Imperial assault miniatures game set. It comes with 3 of them. Cool new game, and a couple of Probe droids for hoss.

The main cards have been reposted. I've got to find the Hoth-themed versions.
Thanks for the heads-up!
