The BX-24 Probe Droid was a model of floating cube-shaped droid available during the Third Galactic War between the Galactic Republic and the reconstituted Sith Empire.[2]
BX-24 Probe Droids were plated in a red color with black plating around most of the edges. The droid had a photoreceptor on the center of one of its side faces. The droid model also had two vents on its left face, a periscope on its top face, and an arm which it could conceal.[1]
Behind the scenes
On May 1, 2024, the BX-24 was announced to appear[1] in the 2021 expansion Legacy of the Sith to BioWare's 2011 massively multiplayer online role-playing game, Star Wars: The Old Republic.[2] The droid was made available as a minipet in honor of Star Wars Day, May 4, and was gifted to players who logged in between May 1 and May 16 of that year. Its design was inspired by the film Star Wars: Episode I The Phantom Menace.[1]
