IG-series

Canon Legends version → Linked from 356 articles

The IG-series was a series of droids manufactured by Holowan Laboratories during and after the Clone Wars. By the time of the New Republic, IG memory circuits were no longer manufactured and were hard to find. The InterGalactic Banking Clan maintained an army of IG lancer droids that it shared with the Confederacy of Independent Systems, eventually fielding them to the Separatist Droid Army Shortly after the war, Holowan Laboratories was inspired by their droids' wartime success to begin development on even more advanced IG units, including the IG-RM bodyguard and enforcer droids.

One of these new models was the IG-88 assassin droid, a set of five identical assassin droids who slaughtered their constructors moments after their activation and escaped their laboratories to roam the galaxy. The new IG-series units were outlawed shortly after they were created. Several of them went on to work as bounty hunters, including the infamous IG-88B.
