203 is recognized as one of the few surviving stasis probes—out of more than 50—that were deployed by the New Republic's Alpha Blue intelligence division. These probes were sent to monitor the N'zoth system throughout the Black Fleet Crisis. Specifically, 203, together with 239 and 252, stands out as one of the mere three probes that successfully endured the assignment and relayed warnings to New Republic forces about the approaching Yevethan Black Fleet.
