To help
Darth Maul track down the fugitive
Queen Amidala from
Naboo, he employed a number of spherical, single-eyed probe droids dispatched from the
Sith Infiltrator. These floating globes hovered throughout
Mos Espa, attempting to ferret out any signs of the Queen and her Jedi protectors.
These probe droids, controlled by a wrist-link worn by Darth Maul, reported back to the Sith Lord. Maul then soared into the Queen's landing site aboard his swift and lean Sith speeder, attacking Jedi Master Qui-Gon Jinn. Although Jinn escaped, the effectiveness of these stealthy spy droids cannot be disputed.
