![]() ![]() It was rumored that the IGs were intentionally programmed to kill their designers by an outside agency, most likely the Galactic Empire. To throw Imperial investigators off their trail, IG-88B worked as a bounty hunter, killing various former employees of Holowan to prevent discovery. They traveled to Mechis III and conquered the droid factory there, killing all of its biological occupants. They worked in tandem, while IG-72 went his own way. IG-88 designated himself as "A" and the rest in activation order "B, C, and D". It should be noted that he did not copy himself over into IG-72's programming, as the latter droid expressed a desire to maintain its own individuality, whereas the other three droids had empty memory cores. Before making his escape, he also freed the droid designated IG-72. He then proceeded to slaughter his makers with his bare hands, copy his programming into three other IG-88s, kill the majority of the guards in the Holowan Labs complex, and escape. The designers only had time to decide to deactivate the droid and find out why he was outperforming their expectations-which the droid decided he would not allow. Within a few seconds, he had chewed through the data files in the computer, realized he was an assassin droid, and reasoned his superiority to the biological creatures who had created him. While these creations were supposedly subservient to their masters, when IG-88 was activated, the sentience programming-designed to make the droid a more adaptive and resourceful assassin-had results far outstripping their expectations. Only four of these droids were ever created, and all were completely identical. The droids were also similar to IG-72 and IG-97, but the IG-88 line was by far the most infamous.Įvolving from Phlut's contract with the InterGalactic Banking Clan (hence the "IG" prefix), IG-88 was a natural design evolution from the IG-100, IG-86 and IG lancer combat droids that had made their mark during the violent Clone Wars. Thus, the development of the IG-series assassin droids-also known as the Phlut Design Systems Project Phlutdroid-would become well known as an idea that went wrong with disastrous results. The droid programmers at Holowan Laboratories, however, developed new programming methods that they felt confident would keep their new line of assassin droids in check, even with their new sentience programming. ![]() The very nature of their job necessitated highly adaptive, autonomous programming that unfortunately caused them to frequently turn on their masters. DISMANTLE ON SIGHT." ― Imperial bounty posting Design history Īssassin droids were banned even before the Empire came to power, although many beings continued to use them.
