The Arakyd Industries Predator I was a streamlined hyperdrive and sublight drive-equipped pod used to transport Viper probe droids through hyperspace.
Behind the scenes
While the Viper probe droid is the droid seen in Star Wars: Episode V The Empire Strikes Back, the Predator has different specifications from the Probe-Mate hyperspace pod mentioned in several other sources.[1][2] This is considered to be an alternate pod also used with that droid.
