Assassin droid/Legends

"Clarification: 'Assassin droid,' is such a crude term, master, reserved for durasteel drones uploaded with only the most archaic kill programs."

- An HK-50 droid, on Peragus

Assassin droids were droids constructed for the purpose of killing sentient beings.

When a crimelord, corrupt politician, or bounty hunter required an efficient killing, they deployed an assassin droid to execute their will. These droids generally performed with unflinching loyalty to their masters, but rogue assassin droids are not unknown.

Generally equipped with an array of weapons, assassin droids were also used as elite infantry, as with the Confederacy assassin droids deployed during the Second Battle of Jabiim.

Some assassin droids include HK-47, the HK-50 series, IG-88, ASN-121, 4-LOM, C-3PX, SCr-114, A77 and the Human Replica Droid Guri.

An inordinate number of assassin droids achieve sapient independence, including IG-88 and C-3PX. This is presumably due to the higher level of autonomy that is incorporated into an assassin droid's droid-"brain" processor design, since independence is a functional requirement. These droids with no masters typically fund their independent existences through the use of their innate abilities, plying their trade as bounty hunters.
