		+
		+
		+	Items of note:
		+
		+	* This droid is 'certed' (available) only to Novice Artisan or higher. If you do not have Artisan, you cannot use this droid.
		+
		+	* It will generate (and send you) an emailed list of resources on a selected planet (no stats or concentration, just a straight list).
		+
		+	* It is listed as "Item" in the crafting tool's Droid list (below BH droids).
		+
		+	* This is multiple-use 'charged' droid (similar to BH droids that come in packs of 5, for example).
		+
		+	* This droid is destroyed on use.
		+
		+	* It has a DZ70 style chassis (which cannot currently be customized).
		+
		+	* A survey tool (for the type of resource you want to survey for) will be taken and used by the droid. You will lose this tool and it will not be returned. Note: It needs to be in your main inventory when you set the droid off to do its thing.
