Capsule: Based on their standard probe droid design, Arakyd's resource probe droid is specialized for the discovery and analysis of potential mining sites. The droid uses the standard probot hyperdrive pod for transport to the targeted planet. Upon entering the planet's orbit, the droid first scans for the highest concentrations of minerals and metals, focusing in on ores which interest the droid's owners. After transmitting an initial report to its operator, the droid then lands in the area of highest concentrations and collects samples and detailed sensor readings for analysis. 

The droid transmits a second report, and may be ordered to embark on further studies. The droid may be retrieved or abandoned after the completion of its mission.
