IG-11

IG-11, also known as Eyegee-Eleven or simply as IG or Eyegee, was a IG-series assassin droid who was a bounty hunter during the New Republic Era. IG-11 was programmed to follow the protocols of the Bounty Hunters' Guild, and had a built-in self-destruct mechanism to prevent itself from being captured while working as a hired gun.

In 9 ABY, IG-11 took on a bounty that involved killing Grogu, a Force-sensitive infant that was held in a encampment on the desert world Arvala-7. During the assignment, the droid teamed up with the Mandalorian bounty hunter Din Djarin, and the two worked together to eliminate the Nikto mercenaries in the encampment and confront Grogu. Upon seeing the infant, IG-11 was destroyed by Djarin while the droid attempted to kill him.

The Ugnaught Kuiil later retrieved the droid's body from the encampment and repaired and re-programmed him in order to assist the retired vapor farmer. Now tasked with protecting Grogu, he accompanied Djarin and his allies to the planet Nevarro after meeting them in Kuiil's moisture farm. Following the death of his new master, he assisted them after they were pinned down by Imperial forces and helped them escape. IG-11 later sacrificed himself via self-destruction in order to kill a platoon of stormtroopers to prevent Grogu from being captured. After his sacrifice, a statue of the droid was erected in Nevarro's city.

Djarin later consulted High Magistrate Greef Karga in hopes of restoring IG-11, though these hopes were dashed when the droid was revived and became hostile, forcing CU-28 to crush its head with a bust. IG-11's remains were then taken to Anzellan droidsmiths who were unable to repair him without a memory bank, forcing Djarin to instead utilize the astromech R5-D4. However, IG-11's parts still came to serve another use when the Anzellans refashioned the assassin droid into a mech for Grogu called IG-12.

Later, in return for unofficially completing missions for the New Republic in the Outer Rim Territories, Djarin requested the head of a disused IG unit from Carson Teva, which was used in the reconstruction of IG-11 from the remains of IG-12. IG-11 was then given the position of marshal of Nevarro, and was welcomed by the citizens of Nevarro City.
