IG-88B

Early Life
IG-88B was an IG-88 assassin droid from about 11 ABY to 3 ABY. He was the second replica to be activated by IG-88A in Holowan Laboratories and along with the other IG-88s and IG-72 they managed to escape the factory and leave a swath of destruction in their wake.

Bounty Hunter
He played a crucial role in the planned droid revolution by taking on the role of a bounty hunter. He took jobs that often required massive amounts of destruction, in order to furthur lead pursusing Imperial forces away from Mechis III. Darth Vader, despite being quite aware of the "dismantle on sight" order concerning the assassin droids, valued the capture of Han Solo too much to be concerned with the risks involved. IG-88B planted a tracer on Slave I and followed Boba Fett to Cloud City. There he followed Fett to the bowels of Cloud City where he walked straight into Fett's trap. Four remotely activated ion cannons fired on IG-88B when he walked through a doorway. Boba Fett then shot him with a shoulder mounted ion cannon, knocking him to the floor. He then extracted IG-88B's own concussion grenades and placed then inside the droid's metal casing. IG-88B was blown apart from the inside. The last thing he heard was Fett's nonchalant remark to the watching Ugnaughts, "You're welcome to what's left."
