IG-series assassin droid

IG-88, an IG assassin droid.

"Assassin droids are incredibly dangerous. They're walking armories, complete with integrated concussion grenade launchers and flamethrowers.…Although I've always been quite jealous of their acid-proof servo wires."

―CR-8R, on IG-series assassin droids

IG-series assassin droids, also known simply as IG assassin droids, were a line of assassin droids manufactured by Holowan's Laboratories and Mechanicals divisions as part of their wider IG-series of enforcer and security droids. They featured integrated concussion grenade launchers and flamethrowers, as well as acid-proof servo wires. Largely outlawed in the galaxy, models of IG assassin droid included the IG-86 sentinel droid and IG-88 assassin droid. BK-86, IG-11, IG-70, and IG-90 were IG assassin droids. One IG unit decided to join the Second Revelation and was present as Ajax Sigma suggested turning away from the ways of violence, which led to the group's reformation into a droid church.
