Star Wars: Legion – Imperial Probe Droids

Description

The Imperial Probe Droid joins the Galactic Empire faction as a new
Droid Trooper unit, purpose-built to enhance the combat effectiveness of
your army. As a Detachment unit, Probe Droids do not count against your
maximum allowance of Special Forces units, allowing canny commanders to
maximize their Order Pool with Special Forces to ensure their more
valuable Imperial Death Troopers or Scout Troopers
Activate when it would be most advantageous. The Imperial Probe Droids
are in fact quite effective at Activating “early” in a game Round, as
their Observe 3 free Card action allows them to mark enemy units for
powerful follow-up attacks. Combined with the Disengage keyword, the
Imperial Probe Droid is difficult to pin down, and can float deftly from
combat to cover, tireless in its primary mission: reconnaissance.

The Imperial Probe Droid features the Infiltrate
keyword, allowing them to range ahead of your main force and Deploy
rapidly to Point-of-Interest tokens on the battlefield. Their printed
Speed of 1 is deceptive – while they may not race across the open
battlefield, Hover: Air 1 allows them to effortlessly navigate even
treacherous terrain, and reach objectives, flanks, and high ground that
would be challenging for common infantry. While the Imperial Probe Droid
does wield a Light Blaster for self-defense, its most powerful
deterrent against combat is its Self-Destruct 3 keyword. When it has
suffered two or more Wounds, it may detonate, rolling 3 black attack
dice and throwing damage and Suppression tokens at all units – friend or
foe – within Range 1, and ignoring most common defenses while doing so.

The Rebellion is out there, and they must be found; no droid is more
single-minded in this task than the Imperial Probe Droid. These droids
will make a fantastic addition to any Galactic Empire army and also
feature within the Blizzard Force and Tempest Force Battle Forces.
