MicroProbe

The MicroProbe was a scanner and autonomous probe briefly sold on [Ergo (Nemo III)](https://robertsspaceindustries.com/galactapedia/article/VlMYrYzwre-ergo-nemo-iii) in 2407. Advertised as the next generation in advanced resource detection technology, it saw high early sales after a report was shared on [Spectrum](https://robertsspaceindustries.com/galactapedia/article/VaZwen9E2Q-spectrum) detailing vast stores of natural resources on [Nemo I](https://robertsspaceindustries.com/galactapedia/article/RMNOzOLvKW-nemo-i). However, the report was false, and had been written by the creator of the device, conman Marvin Akai Blitz. Local news program *Spectrum News Now: Ergo (SNNE)* delivered an exposé of the tech that prevented further sales before any dangerous expeditions to Nemo I could be launched. In early 2408, sales of the faulty scanner were halted.
