PRODUCTION INFORMATION

SPECIAL FEATURES

[*]Advanced Communications suite
[*]Repulsorlifts
[*]Thrusters
[*]Black box
[*]Power cell

STRENGTHS

Super sensor: If it can be detected, the Insight-type will detect it. Within its sensor radius, the Insight-type is highly effective at detecting just about any kind of signal, radiation, energy, or matter. This makes it perfect for military reconnaissance or scientific research in hostile environments.
Eternal: A long-lasting power cell allows the Insight-type to remain active for potentially years -- and after that, all of its sensor data is stored in its black box. A titanium and duraplast shell protects the sensor from damage.
Communications: The sensor ball is able to transmit its findings across vast distances to the vessel or system it was deployed by. The Insight uses a special encryption to make sure information isn't intercepted.

WEAKNESSES

Defenseless: The Insight-type is basically a ball of sensors -- without weapons or means to defend itself, it's easily destroyed.
Detectable: Due to its constant sensor scans, the Insight-type can be easily detected, and it's easily seen on planetary environments -- it tends to float above the ground using its repulsorlifts unless otherwise programmed.
Jamming: If the Insight-type is being jammed, it can fail to transmit sensor data to its deployer.
No Autonomy: The Insight-type isn't really able to move on its own; it's not a probe droid and has little autonomy, meaning it can be often swept aside by natural events, causing the black box to be lost.

DESCRIPTION

The Insight-type deployable sensor is a simple device. Fifteen centimeters in diameter, the ball of duraplast, titanium and sensors of all kinds acts as a short-range extension of any operation’s sensor capabilities, whether military, scientific, or other. The durability and versatility of the Insight-type allows it to operate in nearly any environment.
