Damaged Viper probe droid

This damaged Viper probe droid was a Viper probe droid used by the Galactic Empire. Some time around the Battle of Hoth, a pivotal conflict in the Galactic Civil War between the Galactic Empire and Alliance to Restore the Republic, this probe droid was damaged and stranded, still in its transport pod, near the Saila Na system.
Shortly after the Battle of Hospital in July 2009, the droid became a target of Lucy Heartfilia after she learned of its existence and a mission to capture the droid by slicing communications systems. She wished to capture the damaged droid to utilize its sensors and components against her team's conflict between their company and their rivals, Viraxo Industries. To retrieve the droid, she sent her friend Molly Wei and gunner Jordan Wilde in the team's Whizzing Arrow II. The pirate transport Pelican also intended to scavenge the droid; accompanied by several R-41 Starchaser fighters, this transport reached the damaged probe droid first. Before they were able to leave, however, the Whizzing Arrow destroyed the entire group and Molly took the probe for herself.
After retrieving the probe droid, the Whizzing Arrow made its way to the civilian checkpoint orbital platform Tinoon Station, cargo in tow. Fearing detection, Molly planned to illegally pass through the checkpoint and escape the system. The arrival of a pirate force consisting of Marauder-class corvettes and Y-wing starfighters provided ample distraction, but Molly challenged the incoming force. After a victorious skirmish between the pirates, the Whizzing Arrow, and the Golan II Space Defense SpaceGun Tinoon Station, the Whizzing Arrow and its probe droid pod payload were allowed to pass without inspection.
