The IG-106 assassin droid was a model of assassin droid line of the IG-series. It resembled the IG-88 assassin droid line and featured a blaster cannon mounted on its right arm.[2]
Behind the scenes[]
In 1 ABY,[4] a spacer acquired a storage device containing a holographic image of an IG-106 droid, which he could use with a holoshroud to disguise himself as an IG-106 droid.[5]
Several IG-106 units were also used as security droids by a group of slicers on the planet Lok to guard their building.[3]
Behind the scenes[]
IG-106 assassin droids were non-player characters in the 2003 video game Star Wars Galaxies, a massively multiplayer online roleplaying game developed by Sony Online Entertainment and published by LucasArts,[2] prior to its closure on December 15, 2011.[6] IG-106 assassin droids were added to the game with the expansion Star Wars Galaxies: Trials of Obi-Wan, released on November 1, 2005.[2]
With the release of the Chapter 6 on May 22, 2007,[7] players could also buy an IG-106 costume from Storyteller vendors for 25,000 credits. The costume could then be used with a holoshroud to give the player the appearance of an IG-106 droid for a limited time.[5]

- ↑ The opening crawl of Star Wars Galaxies dates the game to after the events of Star Wars: Episode IV A New Hope, and additionally, Serji-X Arrogantus, who died in Star Wars (1977) 10—the events of which The New Essential Chronology dates to 0 ABY—appears in the game. Therefore, at least a portion of Star Wars Galaxies must be set in that year. Furthermore, in the game Ruwan Tokai references the destruction of the Death Star as having occurred one year earlier, and Strongholds of Resistance also places the events of Galaxies' Chapter 9: "The Fury of Exar Kun" in 1 ABY. Lastly, while Chapter 11: "The Battle of Echo Base" features the Battle of Hoth—dated to 3 ABY by The New Essential Chronology—the developers have stated that the portrayal of that battle in the game is intentionally anachronistic. Therefore, the events of Star Wars Galaxies must span from 0 ABY to around 1 ABY.
