- "Assassin droids are incredibly dangerous. They're walking armories, complete with integrated concussion grenade launchers and flamethrowers."
- ―CR-8R
Assassin droids were a type of droid built specifically for the purpose of assassination. They were independently programmed, answering to no masters,[1] but could be programmed to serve one or more masters.[2] The company Holowan Laboratories produced a model of assassin droid known as the IG-86 sentinel droid, which were used as enforcers by criminal elements.[3] Other assassin droids included the BT-1 assassin droids and 0-0-0 produced by the Galactic Empire's Tarkin Initiative,[2] and the droid bounty hunters IG-88[4] and IG-90.[5] The Imperial Security Bureau and Imperial Army Intelligence utilized the E522 assassin droid for use of black op missions, the Rebel Alliance's Intelligence later used it.[6]
