"The fact many astromech droids carry the Intellex IV certainly was a great asset to Alliance operations in the Periphery some time ago: our agent Shaparo was able to take the unit from his companion, R2-Q8, and analyze the prisoner files at the Dnalvec garrison on Sriluur."
General Airen Cracken[2]

The Intellex IV was a droid brain[3] and analysis program package.[2] It was part of the Intellex series designed and manufactured by Industrial Automaton. It was the successor to the Intellex III, and the predecessor to the Intellex V.[3] The Intellex IV was used in Industrial Automaton's astromech droids, such as the R2-series astromech droid and the V1 pilot droid.[2]

A design trademarked by Industrial Automaton, the Intellex IV was capable of performing over 10,000 MPF operations a second.[1] The computer held an internal starship configuration database that contained seven hundred different vessel designs.[4] The Intellex IV scanned technical files in the internal computer to determine potential problems, scan data parameters, or debug computer code.[1] The Intellex IV also supported sophisicated analysis programming that allowed for lifeform identification subroutines and other low-level sensor operations.[2] Information gathered from a droid's sensorscope was fed into the Intellex IV.[5]

Intellex IVs could be removed from the droids and used independently. When utilized in that manner, the computer could be used to enter restricted-access files and slice into security systems.[2]

Imperial propaganda maintained that the Intellex IV was designed by one of their own scientists. The propaganda continued until well after the Yuuzhan Vong War when Lady Aryn Dro Thul discovered the R2-0 prototype.[3]

During the Galactic Civil War, Alliance to Restore the Republic agent Shaparo used the Intellex IV from his astromech droid, R2-Q8, to analyze the prisoner files from the Dnalvec garrison on the planet Sriluur. The information gained allowed the Alliance to rescue captured operatives.[2]
