"Assassin droids are incredibly dangerous. They're walking armories, complete with integrated concussion grenade launchers and flamethrowers."

IG-88, a famous assassin droid

Assassin droids,[2] also known as war droids,[3] or as a murder droid,[4] were a type of droid built specifically for the purpose of assassination. They were independently programmed, answering to no masters,[2] but could be programmed to serve one or more masters.[5] Assassin droids like the IG-RM bodyguard and enforcer droids and the HK-87 assassin droids also served as bodyguards and enforcers for their masters.[6][7]

The SD-K4 assassin droid,[8] was a model of assassin droid manufactured by Baktoid Combat Automata[9] during the Clone Wars and used by the Confederacy of Independent Systems.[10] They were later used by both the Galactic Empire and Rebel Alliance.[8]

The company Holowan Laboratories produced a model of assassin droid known as the IG-86 sentinel droid, which were used as enforcers by criminal elements.[11] Other assassin droids included the BT-1 assassin droids and 0-0-0 produced by the Galactic Empire's Tarkin Initiative,[5] and the droid bounty hunters IG-88,[12] IG-90,[13] and IG-11.[14] The Imperial Security Bureau and Imperial Army Intelligence utilized the E522 assassin droid for use of black op missions.
