Assassin droid

Canon Legends version → Linked from 548 articles

Assassin droids, also known as war droids, or as a murder droid, were a type of droid built specifically for the purpose of assassination. They were independently programmed, answering to no masters, but could be programmed to serve one or more masters. Assassin droids like the IG-RM bodyguard and enforcer droids and the HK-87 assassin droids also served as bodyguards and enforcers for their masters.
