Mechis III
a planet which is home to some of the galaxy's finest droid specialists. The rogue IG-88 droids fled to Mechis III after escaping from the Holowan Laboratories, and their high-speed computing power allowed them to outsmart the planet's defense systems. They sent several IG-like viruses into the defense computer, creating IG nodes throughout the planet. Each node communicated with the existing droids, instructing them to eliminate all organic lifeforms. Once entrenched on Mechis III, the IG-88s plotted their take-over of the galaxy. After the droids were eliminated, organic life returned to Mechis III to reprogram the security systems and restore the planet's normal activities. An unexpected windfall was the fact that the IG-88s had repogrammed the manufacturing lines to be twice as efficient as they were under previous routines.
