- "Again, RB-919, I thank you for your fine work—and your ship in which to complete my mission."
- ―IG-88, after killing RB-919
A starship was operated by the droid bounty hunter IG-88.[2] The starship originally was operated by RB-919, a cyborg and droid engineer, and was crewed by a number of droids. When RB-919 was hired by the bounty hunter Deva Lompop to repair IG-88, they traveled in their starship to an astronomical object that hosted the junkyard where the droid's remains were located. RB-919 brought IG-88 aboard their vessel and repaired him; however, the droid bounty hunter, following the first of Lompop's directives to kill those who were no longer needed, shot the engineer and destroyed their droid crew, commandeering their starship.[1]
After contacting Lompop and receiving his mission—to reclaim the carbonite-frozen smuggler Han Solo from the bounty hunter Boba Fett, IG-88 embarked to Tatooine on RB-919's starship, but not before entering into a brief skirmish with pirates. After landing on Tatooine, IG-88 boarded Fett's own vessel, but was confronted by the bounty hunter, who incapacitated the droid and left him on Tatooine. As the fight against Fett had damaged IG-88 and prevented him from being forced to follow Lompop's directives, the droid bounty hunter took RB-919's starship back to the junkyard where his remains had been collected from, intending to improve his programming.[1] IG-88 then continued to use it in his operations as a bounty hunter.[2]
