Hyperspace pod

A hyperspace pod is a small, pod vehicle that is designed for one time trips through hyperspace. Notably used by droids, once the pod exits hypserspace it crashs into a planet's surface and breaks apart, allowing the droid to exit the pod.

Both the Spelunker probe droid of the Confederacy of Independant Systems and the Viper probe droid of the Galactic Empire used hyperspace pods in their travels.
