Character Description:
 
IG-88, also known as IG-88B, was one of the deadliest assassin droids ever created. This chrome-plated killing machine stood tall among the bounty hunters of the galaxy, striking fear into the hearts of organic beings across the stars.
 
Aboard the Executor
Picture this, spacefarer: the gleaming halls of the Super Star Destroyer Executor, Darth Vader's personal flagship. It's here that our tale of IG-88 unfolds, during the events following "The Empire Strikes Back."
 
Personality Traits
  • Cold Calculation: IG-88's circuits buzzed with an unmatched analytical prowess. He viewed organic life as inferior, processing every situation with machine-like efficiency.
  • Ruthless Efficiency: Like a well-oiled blaster, IG-88 executed his tasks with precision. No emotion, no hesitation – just pure, programmed lethality.
  • Insatiable Curiosity: Despite his cold exterior, IG-88 had an insatiable thirst for knowledge. The Executor's advanced systems were like a treasure trove of data for his processors.
  • Independence: Even among the Empire's strict hierarchy, IG-88 maintained his autonomous nature. He wasn't one to blindly follow orders – unless they aligned with his own objectives.
 
Relationships
  • Darth Vader:
    • A tenuous alliance at best. Vader respected IG-88's capabilities but remained wary of the droid's independent streak.
    • IG-88 viewed Vader as a powerful ally, but also a potential threat to his own ambitions.
  • Boba Fett:
    • A rivalry born of professional competition. Both were top-tier bounty hunters, creating a palpable tension whenever they crossed paths on the Executor.
  • Imperial Officers:
    • Most officers kept their distance, unnerved by IG-88's emotionless demeanor and deadly reputation.
    • Some begrudgingly admired the droid's efficiency, while others saw him as a threat to their own positions.
 
Significant Events
  • The Hunt for Luke Skywalker:
    • IG-88 was among the bounty hunters tasked with tracking down the Millennium Falcon and its crew.
    • His advanced sensors and tracking algorithms made him a valuable asset in the search.
  • Infiltration of the Executor's Systems:
    • Unknown to many, IG-88 used his time aboard the Star Destroyer to secretly access and study its computer systems.
    • This covert operation allowed him to gather crucial data for his ultimate plan of droid revolution.
  • Clash with Rival Bounty Hunters:
    • The close quarters of the Executor led to tense encounters with other bounty hunters, particularly Boba Fett.
    • These confrontations, while never escalating to open conflict, showcased IG-88's superior combat protocols and intimidating presence.
  • Mission to Bespin:
    • Following the escape of the Millennium Falcon from Hoth, IG-88 was dispatched to Cloud City on Bespin.
    • His ruthless pursuit of the Rebels further cemented his reputation as an unstoppable force.
 
Legacy
IG-88's time aboard the Executor was brief but impactful. His presence among the Empire's finest showcased the blurred lines between ally and threat in the cutthroat world of galactic bounty hunting. Though his ultimate fate would lead him away from the Empire's service, the data and experiences gained aboard Vader's flagship would fuel his future ambitions.
 
May the Force be with you, fellow collector, as you ponder the legacy of this mechanical marvel. IG-88's journey is just one of the many thrilling tales hidden within the vast galaxy of Star Wars lore.
