IG-72

IG-72 was an early prototype for the IG-88 assassin droid models. Along with the four IG-88 models, IG-72 escaped his manufacturers and found work as a bounty hunter.

IG-72 did not join the collective IG-88 personality, however, preferring to keep his own programming. In his later career as a bounty hunter, he was very independent and autonomous, and did not work well in groups. He was commonly seen wielding a modified Sniper Rifle.

IG-72 also once captured two IG-100 MagnaGuards on behalf of the scientist Treun Lorn, to be used as part of Nycolai Kinesworthy's research with the remains of the dreaded CIS General Grievous. In conjunction with the project, these two droids were renamed NK-3. The result of the project was N-K Necrosis, a killing machine in the vein of Grievous himself. The NK-3s were used to train the Necrosis droid in the lightsaber forms Grievous had once instructed his guards. However, the NK-3s and N-K Necrosis would later be destroyed by a rag-tag band of spacers in the Myyydril Caverns on Kashyyyk during the Galactic Civil War.

IG-72 self-destructed on Tatooine during the hunt for Adar Tallon.
