Technical Manual Description[]
The Sentinel II probe system can maneuver with a limited level of autonomous navigation to a predesignated coordinate as determined by its Operator. Designed to use both passive and active sensors, the Sentinel can gather information about a region, detect enemy units as well as installations. It is also able to detect and tap into exposed power relays.[1]

Analysis[]
Like previous generations of the unit, the Probe is intended as a cheap scouting unit. Unlike previous generations it does not have a one-shot engine; it remains permanently mobile.
It is not available in War Games, and the Incarnate do not have an equivalent unit to it.
