IG-series assassin droid

IG-88, an IG assassin droid.

"Assassin droids are incredibly dangerous. They're walking armories, complete with integrated concussion grenade launchers and flamethrowers.…Although I've always been quite jealous of their acid-proof servo wires."

―CR-8R, on IG-series assassin droids

IG-series assassin droids, also known simply as IG assassin droids, were a line of assassin droids manufactured by Holowan's Laboratories and Mechanicals divisions as part of their wider IG-series of enforcer and security droids. They featured integrated concussion grenade launchers and flamethrowers, as well as acid-proof servo wires. Largely outlawed in the galaxy, models of IG assassin droid included the IG-86 sentinel droid and IG-88 assassin droid. BK-86, IG-11, IG-70, and IG-90 were IG assassin droids.
