The SkyeEye is a lightly armored Skycruiser probe droid produced by Sienar Intelligence Systems is a nimble droid designed for reconnaissance purposes. The droid itself resembles a Sienar TIE fighter with its iconic ball cockpit housing the droid brain and a number of sophisticated systems. In addition to these systems the central ball contains ion maneuvering thrusters and a miniature ion engine. The craft posses a variable geometry wing capable of switching between a simple hover mode and a flight mode with the wings stretched forward like mandibles.
When in flight mode the craft moves at incredible speeds (1,500 km/h) and is capable of capturing images of a battlefield and transmit them back to troops on the ground. This makes it a more versatile probe droid in combat than standard probe droids. In addition to its speed it posses six blasters chained in groups of three similar to a quad laser cannons firing pattern. This makes it effective at harassing enemy troops or supporting its own troops with strafing runs.
In order to better detection the craft posses high resolution receivers and sensors covered the central eye including motion, acoustic, sonic, and seismic sensors, a radiation meter, and magnetic imager. In addition underneath the main eye is a three hundred and sixty degree holocamera. It also has an atmosphere sensor capable of determining a planet's atmosphere class within one half-hour.
