This is not a region in which they can just hang out indefinitely with impunity. They brought a whole fleet for a reason.They're not just looking for hostile forces, they're looking for the Forge. And unlike a rebel base the forge is unpowered, and just one among many ruined structures on or below the surface. You don't use probe droids for that, you use people who are familiar with the territory.The point was to enter the Forge, to determine whether it was sufficiently intact to be worth establishing as a base of operations. That requires expertise to determine, not droids.Why would they believe it was artificial? We don't even know if it's artificial at this point. There are massive storms in the atmosphere, and there's massive interference preventing communication. Why suspect it to be something else entirely?And the interference itself will hamper getting easy readings on any source if it is artificial.</blockquote>
