Legend

IG-88's needle-shaped Aggressor assault fighter, the IG-2000 was a twenty-meter-long craft which was heavily modified from its original condition. The ship was refitted on Mechis III, where IG-88 installed a Galaxy-15 ion engine that was forced-fed with three Quadex power cores. IG-88 also added weapons upgrades in the form of two assault lasers and an ion cannon, and a pair of tractor beam generators were mounted on the forward mandibles. The droid also disabled the ship's inertial compensators, for it felt none of the effects experienced by organics. The IG-2000 was equipped with a Class 2 hyperdrive, and could attain speeds of 1,200 kilometers per hour in atmosphere. The forward mandibles were equipped with magnetic locking pads, allowing the droid to grab hold of target ships in preparation for boarding. IG-88 used it to follow the beacon he had placed on Boba Fett's Slave I at Cloud City. IG-88 had followed Fett all the way to Tatooine, in an effort to steal Han Solo from him. The droid tried to fool Fett by placing a decoy of IG-2000 in orbit near Tatooine, but Fett didn't fall for it. Fett was able to evade the real IG-2000 and blast it from the heavens. It was unknown if IG-88 survived the explosion.
