Luke, did I ever tell you about IG-88B, who played a crucial role in the planned Droid Revolution on Mechis III by being the main bounty hunter "face" of the group? He took jobs that often required massive amounts of destruction, in order to further lead pursuing Imperial forces away from Mechis III. He was the unit who was contacted to capture Han Solo by Darth Vader, who, despite being quite aware of the "dismantle on sight" order concerning the assassin droids, valued the capture of Han Solo too much to be concerned with the risks involved. While on board Vader's ship, the Executor, IG-88B downloaded some of the ship's computer files, including information on the second Death Star, which he transmitted to IG-88A, before departing. He then planted a tracer on Slave I and followed Boba Fett to Bespin, intent on killing him. There, he followed Fett to the bowels of Cloud City, where he walked straight into a trap set by Fett. Four remotely activated ion cannons fired on IG-88B when he walked through a doorway. Boba Fett then shot him with a shoulder-mounted ion cannon, knocking him to the floor. He extracted IG-88B's own concussion grenades and placed them inside the droid's metal casing. IG-88B was blown apart from the inside. The last thing he heard was Fett's nonchalant remark to the watching Ugnaughts, "You're welcome to what's left." He was a good friend.
