'''Spy Probes''' are small, softball or baseball sized automaton machines deployed by [[Covenant]] ships to attach to [[UNSC]] ships using electromagnets. During the [[Human-Covenant War]] probes were colored dark gray so they can blend into the hull of UNSC vessels, instead of the standard lavender color of Covenant alloys.<ref name="probe">[[Halo: The Fall of Reach]], pages 215/216</ref>

Probes have a single photo eye for data collection. Over a number of days, it slowly builds up a charge as it collects data and information. Once it reaches critical energy, a tiny sliver of thallium nitride memory crystal is ejected at the speed of light, surrounded by a miniature [[Slipspace]] field. The sliver is directed toward precise Slipspace coordinates where a waiting Covenant entity will recover it and the data it contains.<ref name="probe"/>
