This is my workbench. I'll keep notes to myself here, usually relating to FAs and GAs. I'll also do some work on articles here.

Gunray could use a longer intro, fact tag in BTS

Drebble could use a longer intro too

So could Brandl

And Zsinj. Plus a main quote

IG-88A

 * FA nom

In addition, is that really all we know about his role in YJK? You were able to get three whole sections just from the short story "I Think Therefore I Am". Surely more can be mined from three books than a paragraph and a half.

Beef up the BtS please. Explain how TNEGtC explained that it was IG-88A in Marvel. Explain why it needs to be IG-88A in Forces of Corruption and not IG-88B. (He is able to infect the Death Star, etc.) Explain his weird appearance in Kenix Kil: The Bounty Hunters and why it needs to be IG-88A. I don't think it's specified that it's IG-88A in that story, there's only a pic of him. The BtS could also be expanded a bit with his history and the original stuff from WEG/EGtC and the differences with it and Tales. (I know I said that wouldn't be necessary but on second thought I think it is). I think the BTS needs to be structured more appropriately for the character's OOU history; he wasn't really created for ESB if that character turned out not to even be him. Don't feel you have to do the standard linear "He was created for X, used in Y, etc." format if it doesn't really fit for the character.

I think the Equipment and abilities section should be proseified and expanded. I'd expect it to be quite large given the amount of info I think we know.

An IG-88 droid first appeared in Star Wars Episode V: The Empire Strikes Back. However, the story Therefore I Am: The Tale of IG-88, featured in Tales of the Bounty Hunters, established that there were in fact four IG-88 droids, and that the one in The Empire Strikes Back was retconned to be I-88B. Therefore I Am also retconned IG-88A to be in control of the Death Star during the Battle of Endor. As the Death Star was destroyed in this battle, the droid's consciousness was established to have been destroyed. However, the droid's body was not destroyed, and IG-88A would appear in later works, such as Young Jedi Knights: Diversity Alliance, Young Jedi Knights: Delusions of Grandeur, and Young Jedi Knights: The Emperor's Plague, set in 24 ABY, two decades after the Battle of Endor. In The Emperor's Plague', IG-88A's body is destroyed, finally killing the droid.

Though the head of a destroyed IG-88 assassin droid is shown in Cloud City in Star Wars Episode V: The Empire Strikes Back, an IG-88 model later appeared in Marvel 50, 71, 72 and 85. As these comics was printed over a decade before Tales of the Bounty Hunters was written, it had not yet been laid out that there were four IG-88 droids. As all of these comics take place after the events of The Empire Strikes Back. It is therefore assumed that the authors of these comics intended for readers to assume that the droid had been repaired prior to its appearances in the comics.

It is assumed by this article that IG-88C or IG-88D are featured in 50, 71, and 72. Tales of the Bounty Hunters states that both droids left Mechis III at least one time before 4 ABY, whereas IG-88A is never known to have left the planet at any point before his mission to ambush the fleet carrying the Death Star's computer core. This mission occurred in 4 ABY, and as both C and D had adventures in the wider galaxy before this time, this article makes the stipulation that it is not A who appears in 50, 71, and 72.

When Tales of the Bounty Hunters was released in 1996, it stated that B, C and D were destroyed at some point in 3 or 4 ABY, all by Boba Fett. While the Shadows of the Empire video game showed that IG-88D had in fact survived an attack from Boba Fett, the droid was destroyed in the same game. This attack by Fett was first shown in the Shadows of the Empire comics, and later mentioned in Tales of the Bounty Hunters.

An unnamed IG-88 model is in Empire at War: Forces of Corruption, set between 3 and 4 ABY. As this model has the ability to hack into the Death Star and take control of its superlaser, it is assumed that this droid is IG-88A. An unidentified IG-88 model also appears in The Bounty Hunters: Kenix Kil. As this is set in 11 ABY, it is presumed that this droid is IG-88A.

Though Tyko Thul states the he found and reactivated IG-88A, a date for this is never given, save that it is between 4 and 24 ABY. This article makes the assumption that IG-88A was discovered by Tyko Thul in 4 ABY, and reprogrammed, then used by Barpotomous Drebble for an unspecified period of time, as The Hero shows Drebble to have the droid in 4 ABY a short time after the Battle of Endor. It seems likely that Thul, a wealthy businessman, lent the droid to Drebble, who used the assassin droid as a bodyguard, and also to help him capture Drebble's archenemy Lando Calrissian. For whatever reason, the droid is seen roaming the galaxy hunting Kenix Kil in The Bounty Hunters: Kenix Kil. This is between the time period when he is shown to be in first Drebble's possession and then Thul's two decades later, so there is no contradiction.

The idea of several IG-88 models slaughtering their creators first appeared in Galaxy Guide 10: Bounty Hunters, published in 1994. The guidebook mentions that the IG-88 droids were given experimental programming by several Holowan scientists, and that the droids then turned on their creators, slaughtering them and making their escape. The Second Edition of Galaxy Guide 3: The Empire Strikes Back, released a few months before Tales of the Bounty Hunters, also contains details about the IG-88 droids' creation, including facts from Galaxy Guide 10, as well as some new information, such as that the droids were part of the top-secret Project Phlutdroid, and that there was a dismantle on sight notice posted on the droids.

However, while both Galaxy Guide 3 and Galaxy Guide 10 include information about the droids' activation, neither mentions that the droids are four IG-88 units A through D with a collective conscious. The droids' plan for galactic control is also not mentioned. It seems that the Galaxy Guides created details about the IG-88 droids' activation and the massacre of the Holowan scientists, information that was later included in Tales of the Bounty Hunters. However, Tales of the Bounty Hunters was the first source to reveal many subsquent details, including their plan for galactic conquest.

Equipment and abilities
IG-88A, like all his brethren, had many useful abilities, as they were constructed to be the perfect assassin droid model. He was armed with built-in blaster cannons, and carried a DAS-430 electromagnetic projectile launcher. IG-88A also carried concussion grenades and poisonous gas canisters. Along with this, the droid was armed with a sonic stunner, a paralysis cord, throwing flechettes, a stun pulser, and a cutting laser built into one of his fingers. He had a flamethrower as well. In addition to this weaponry, the droid had a computer input port, giving him a very advanced slicing system.

IG-88A was extremely strong physically, and an excellent fighter. The droid had very thick armor and a blaster reflective body, as only a few spots on him were vulnerable to blaster fire. He could rotate his head, allowing him to see a complete 360 degrees. IG-88A could also raise or lower his body temperature at will. The assassin droid also had the ability to connect with his brethren and formulate plans. In this instance, the four thought as one, almost as a hive mind of sorts. IG-88A's sentience package, an experimental new technology, allowed him to feel emotions to a limited degree and think in ways normal droids could not. All of these abilities went into making IG-88A an elite killing machine.
