[edit] Characteristics
It was only four centimeters wide and had a small circular body supported by four legs. The tiny droid could be remotely controlled by a special joystick with a half kilometer range.
[edit] History
They were illegal on most planets, but most were willing to pay a small fine in exchange for shocking news, such as a Moff accepting a bribe. They were often used by journalists looking for a notable story.
The fly eye, or perhaps an earlier model, was around as early as the Clone Wars. Following the Battle of Rendili, Quinlan Vos sent a winged version of the fly eye to Khaleen Hentz, informing her that Count Dooku's plan to have Vos regain the trust of the Jedi High Council was working. This fly eye was fitted with a miniature holoprojector.
A fly eye recorded Han Solo kidnapping Leia Organa in 8 ABY.
