- "Assassin droids are incredibly dangerous. They're walking armories, complete with integrated concussion grenade launchers and flamethrowers."
- ―CR-8R
The IG-86 sentinel droid,[10] also known as the IG-86 assassin droid or IG-86 sentry droid,[11] was a model of assassin droid manufactured by Holowan Mechanicals.[1]
History[]
- "These must be the 'unique items' we were warned about. These assassin droids can be very unpredictable."
"They're switched off. They don't look so tough to me."
"Nothing looks tough to you. Take my word for it—they're deadly." - ―Anakin Skywalker and Ahsoka Tano on the Vulture's Claw
Created to be a better form of battle droid,[13] IG-86s were part of the InterGalactic Banking Clan Collections and Security Division[7] but were also popular with gangsters such as Ziro the Hutt.[8] They saw frequent use during the Clone Wars, during which they were used by both third parties[12] and the Confederacy of Independent Systems.[7]
The Trandoshan junker Gha Nachkt had several IG-86 units onboard his ship, the Vulture's Claw. After Nachkt recovered the astromech droid R2-D2 from a battle, causing Anakin Skywalker and Ahsoka Tano to come aboard in search of him, they encountered and fought a pair of IG-86 sentinel droids.[12]
