Providing intelligence and performing a variety of secondary roles within the Virai army are the STAA probe shard.
Virai drones are occasionally equipped with enhanced sensors and additional targeting algorithms so they can act in a fashion similar to targeter probes used by the more advanced Antarean factions.
Using their targeting sensors, Virai STAA probes gather a broad range of target acquisition data which is then fed into the swarm’s shared target acquisition algorithms (STAA). Such success can be short-lived, however, as battlefield conditions change.
