Canon Legends version → Linked from 99 articles

The IG-88 assassin droid, also known as the IG-88 series droid, was the model of a set of five identical assassin droids manufactured by Holowan Laboratories. Upon their activation, the droids slaughtered their constructors and escaped their laboratories into the galaxy.

One of these droids, IG-88B, was an independently programmed IG-88 assassin droid who fought as a war droid and became a feared bounty hunter. He was typically simply referred to as IG-88. IG-88D and IG-88C were also IG-88 series units that worked as bounty hunters, while IG-88A planned to overthrow organic life.
