Vader's got my whole department working on a new mission profile for a bunch of probes he wants to send out, all over various sections of the galaxy. He is still, if you can believe it, looking for Luke Skywalker.
All we have in stock to work with are these stupid Viper probe droids made by Arakyd Industries. It's got 5 manipulator arms, a blaster cannon, encrypted communications, and a whole host of sensors. It's great if you want to, you know, actually probe a planet for minerals or something but if you want to discreetly poke around and find out if the Rebel Luke Skywalker is hiding on said planet, you might as well paint it bright yellow and have it dance on top of a red ball organ singing "The Empire's looking for you, kid".
And Vader wants to deploy thousands of these things--he's already said he plans to exhaust our supply, so he's working to pull more in from every ship in the fleet, and he's got Arakyd working overtime to make more. And guess what, because we have to program them all ourselves, they're going through my budget. They cost 14,500 credits each! That's going to kill any chance of a bonus this year! I guess I can kiss goodbye to the idea of a visit back to Bothawui for Empire Day.
