If you are attempting a solo kill - find a hill/cliff along the probes route and use a knockback effect on it to cause it fall damage.
I simply stood on the hill by the republic bunker, used Force Push three times, and it was dead.
(If you are Imperial, don't let the Republic NPCs engage it - push it off the hill next to the exhaustion zone, and not off the lip of the bunker - since when I first tried this, they shot it and I ended up not being able to loot it. It simply became a scavengeable corpse)
- Respawn: 30 Minutes (3 kills, and always 30 minutes exactly repop)
- Patrols around the base, up and down the ramps, and slightly south and north of the main base area
- Use the Republic NPC's nearby to help kill it and avoid it's orbital laser targetted AoE
- Can easily be taken down by a moderately geared 50 with a healing companion
- You only need 1 Depleted Datacron per group if you are quick enough to click on it when you complete the hunt
How To Retrieve This Datacron (Taken from Almar's Guides)
You need to find an Ancient Probe that wanders around the Clabburn Tundra in western Hoth. The Ancient Probe is a level 47 Champion mob that is commonly found in the western end of Clabburn Tundra wondering on the border of the exhaustion zone (Screenshots 1, 2 & 3). He drops a Depleted Datacron which you need to charge at the Coupled Recharge Station in the Starship Graveyard to retrieve the Strength Datacron. Once you have the Depleted Datacron you need to take it all the way to the Starship Graveyard over to where I am in (Screenshots 4 & 5).
Here you will see a large pipe which you need to run up. At the top of the pipe turn around and run across the ledge leading towards the Star of Coruscant (Screenshot 6). Follow the ledge all the way down to where I am in (Screenshot 7), here is where you'll want to fall down to the pipe right below which puts you in the vicinity of the Coupled Recharge Station. From where I am standing in (Screenshot 8) you will be able to activate the station.

Paths in a large, narrow oval on the far west side of Clabburn Tundra, moving clockwise and right along the exhaustion zone on the northern pass. He'll go around the bunker to the north and around the crashed ships to the south.
Only drops one datacron per kill, so if you have multiple people it will take multiple kills. We had three people and timed the respawn to be approximately 30 minutes.
