Dimension Probe
General Information
Dimension Probe |
This unmanned automated probe is designed to explore the Alien Dimension and has minimal armaments and defenses. The Probe will enable X-COM to test its new adaptation of the Aliens inter-dimensional technology. Exploration is a vital requirement for developing further knowledge of the Alien threat and the probe is just the first step. |

This is the first X-COM-created craft. It is a test vehicle designed to be able travel through the Dimensional Gates, and is a springboard for development of further advanced aircraft.
It carries an extensive sensor package for analysis of the Alien Dimension, allowing further progress in the Biochemistry lab.
The Dimension Probe only has one 2 × 2 weapon slot. It can be equipped with weapons such as the Light Disruptor Beam to harass invading alien craft or to support standard vehicles when not exploring. Fairly capable of dodging most attacks, it can be a nuisance to a foe, but not much more unless in sufficient numbers or as a back-up for other combat units.
The Dimension Probe draws energy directly from the Alien Dimension and does not need to refuel. In addition to Dimension Gate travel, this is one of the hallmark features of all X-COM hybrid aircraft.
