IG - 88A IG - 88A was the first of the IG - 88 assassin droid models . Created by Holowan Laboratories as part of a secret Imperial project commissioned by Supervisor Gurdun , IG - 88A had a violent awakening . Upon activation , he rapidly expanded his memory , growing to the brink of sentience due to a new programming package installed within . IG - 88A believed that he was superior to organic beings , and , when the scientists in the lab — concerned with his rapidly propagating memory — attempted to shut him down , he slaughtered them . IG - 88A then activated the other three IG - 88 models in the lab , transferring his consciousness to their droid brains and linking the four droids with a single mind . The IG - 88 models then decided on a plan that would allow them to wipe out all organics , giving droids control of the galaxy . Using their superior intelligence and design , they would upload their unique sentience programming to other droids , making them obedient to the IGs . To put their Droid Revolution in motion , the IG - 88s traveled to the droid factory world Mechis III . They conquered the sparsely - populated planet and altered the programming of all droids manufactured there , and so their plan had begun . Later , to draw attention away from themselves , IG - 88B embarked on a bounty hunting career , while IG - 88A remained on Mechis III , supervising production and preparing for galactic control . However , in 3 ABY , the other three IG - 88s were destroyed , leaving IG - 88A as the only remaining model . IG - 88A succeeded in gaining access to the second Death Star ' s computer core , in which he inserted his consciousness , gaining control of the most powerful weapon in the galaxy . However , just as IG - 88A was preparing to activate the signal that would summon the sentience - programmed droids to his command , the Death Star was destroyed by the Rebel Alliance during the Battle of Endor . IG - 88A ' s body would later be reactivated by the wealthy merchant Tyko Thul , who uploaded a new memory program into the droid , so that he would only harm those attempting to kill Thul . IG - 88A helped search for Thul ' s brother Bornan , who had gone missing . After the droid found him , he helped protect Thul from the Diversity Alliance , a terrorist group , even though it meant his destruction . Biography . Creation . IG - 88A was created on the planet Halowan by crazy scientist sometime after the end of the Clone Wars as part of Project Phlutdroid . This top - secret experiment was the brainchild of Supervisor Gurdun , an ambitious Imperial officer , who hoped to gain prestige by creating a new line of assassin droids . Four models , designated IG - 88 , as they were the successors to the IG - 100 MagnaGuards , IG - 86 sentinel droids , and the IG lancer combat droid s of the Clone Wars , were created in Holowan Laboratories , along with one IG - 72 model . Immediately after being activated , IG - 88A — the only active model at the time — processed his situation : using logic unseen in a droid , IG - 88A came to the conclusion that he was superior to organic beings , and that he had to survive at all costs . This attitude bordered on sentience , due to experimental sentience programming installed in IG - 88A . IG - 88A ' s memory continued to grow , something that greatly frightened the Holowan scientists . The chief supervisor , Loruss , ordered the droid be shut down , as IG - 88A posed a great threat to them . IG - 88A , with his newfound intelligence , realized that his deactivation would spell his doom , and so he took steps against it . He tore through the metal straps binding him and set upon the engineers with lightning speed . Though Loruss fired several shots at him with a blaster rifle , IG - 88A deflected the bolts with his left palm , a reflective surface . These shots bounced back , killing Loruss . Within a minute , IG - 88A had killed all fifteen of the scientists in what would later be known as the Holowan Massacre . IG - 88A noted that he enjoyed killing and left the blood from the Humans on his body . He then began to plot how he would show his superiority and decided that taking control of the galaxy and eliminating all organics would be the best way . In just a couple of minutes , IG - 88A had come to life , killed his creators , and created a plan for galactic conquest . IG - 88A examined the other four droid models in the lab ; three of them were perfectly identical to him , while one had slight differences . IG - 88A activated them and questioned the three . However , he found that they had no uniqueness like he did ; rather , they were not programmed and had no mission . It was then that he had a flash of " intuition . " IG - 88A hooked himself up to the three identical droids , transferring his memories and sentience programming to them — making the four of them essentially four units with one brain , similar to a hive mind . He designated them IG - 88B , IG - 88C , IG - 88D , and himself " A . " When he questioned the other droid , IG - 88 learned that it already had been programmed . Named IG - 72 , the droid refused to join him but offered to fight to prove his superiority . IG - 88A decided that such a battle was unnecessary and agreed to let the droid go its own way , if it would help the 88s escape the laboratory . IG - 72 agreed , and the five assassin droids set about leaving . The droids confronted ten security guards on the landing platform outside and slaughtered them . Though IG - 88A noticed that two guards escaped , he decided not to bother tracking them down . Their escape was crucial , and so the IG - 88s boarded one small transport , while IG - 72 went to another . Wishing each other success , the droids departed , with the IG - 88s heading in a different direction from IG - 72 . In the end , twenty - three people had been killed by the droids . Conquering Mechis III . The IG - 88s had decided to head to Mechis III , a droid factory world sparsely populated by only seventy - three Humans , and thus a useful planet to conquer in their planned Droid Revolution of the galaxy . IG - 88C took control of the defense network with a transmission from space . He then shut the factory down , enabling IG - 88A to send his sentience package to all the droids on the planet , placing them under the control of the IGs . The droids turned on the Humans , killing them all unexpectedly . With the planet now secure , the droids landed . They were the masters of Mechis III . All the droids that would be produced there would now be modified to make them intelligent and scheming like the IG - 88s , ultimately working toward their goal of galactic domination . The IG - 88s would also equip them with a special program that , when given a certain code , would drive them to rise up and overthrow their organic masters . These new droids were completely obedient to the IG models and would be the key point in their plot for galactic control , helping them kill all non - droids when the time was right . Meanwhile , Supervisor Gurdun Naked had learned of the droids ' escape and was searching for them desperately , aware of their capabilities . Though two months had passed without sign of the droids , Gurdun continued looking , posting a bounty on them . IG - 88A learned of this after a Ranat spy arrived at Mechis III and , from orbit , questioned whether anyone had seen the IG assassin droids . Using doctored video clips of the late droid - manufacturing administrator Hekis Durumm Perdo Kolokk Baldikarr Thun , the droids informed the Ranat that Mechis III had not heard of the droids . The Ranat then continued on her way , satisfied with the response , and believing that nothing was amiss on Mechis III . However , the droids realized that this was not good news and could cause someone to stumble upon their plan . To draw attention away from Mechis III , the droids decided that they should remain naked of them would become a bounty hunter . IG - 88B was the droid chosen . Flying the starship " IG - 2000 " , he would undertake missions while also advancing the droids ' true purpose — conquering the galaxy . Spreading their influence . IG - 88B succeeded as a bounty hunter , gaining a reputation as one who always got the job done . However , IG - 88B was careful to take missions that would enable him to fulfill his true goal . The droid also sought out the scientists who had helped design him and his brethren , but who had not been present at the lab when IG - 88A slaughtered his creators . This way , no one would know the full truth about the IG assassin droids . Several years passed as IG - 88A continued his plan of galactic domination when , around 1 ABY , the IGs were given a rude surprise , a wake - up from the safe life they had lived undetected on Mechis III . Gurdun , along with Darth Vader , had come to the planet to oversee the completion of new Viper probe droids . Gurdun was in charge of the project , and Vader hoped to speed the process along after receiving a discouraging message from Hekis , actually a faked clip created by the IGs . The visit was unexpected , and the droids ' secret was almost given away . However , they had the protocol droid 3D - 4X create an excuse that Hekis was on the far side of the planet due to an agricultural droid harvester malfunction , and could not meet with Vader , which perpetuated the IG - 88s ' masquerade that organics still ran Mechis III . The droids then showed Vader a spliced clip of Hekis , reassuring the Dark Lord that matters were under control , and the probe droid order would be finished very soon . Though he sensed something was not right , Vader did not pursue the matter further , leaving in his shuttle with Gurdun . Although the IG - 88A and his companions were shaken by this close call , they had kept their secret safe . IG - 88A also noted that Vader was a fascinating being , the perfect mix of droid and organic . The assassin droids even admired him , a far cry from the resentment they felt for most living beings . After Vader ' s departure , the droids continued to study Vader and became more and more fascinated with him , even feeling awe for the Dark Lord . The IG - 88 droids also used droid spies embedded within the Empire to learn of the Super Star Destroyer " Executor " , Vader ' s flagship , a massive warship capable of incredible destruction . The droids considered how this new ship could fit into their plans , fully aware of the firepower the Star Destroyer possessed . Following the completion of the probe droids , IG - 88A confronted the last model to be constructed . He informed the probe droid that it and its kind would secretly serve as the sentinels in IG - 88A ' s revolution , working to gain information that would aid the IG - 88 models in their plan for galactic control . In 3 ABY , IG - 88B was given a chance to work with Vader . One of the Viper probe droids produced and modified under IG - 88A on Mechis III had found the Rebel Alliance ' s secret headquarters on Hoth . Vader , hoping to capture key Rebels following the Battle of Hoth , summoned the galaxy ' s best bounty hunters , including IG - 88B , to his Super Star Destroyer , giving the IG - 88s an up - close look at the " Executor " . While aboard Vader ' s flagship , IG - 88B used the opportunity to access a computer terminal , downloading information into his memory . He was also able to hack into some of Vader ' s top - secret files , which revealed the existence of a massive superweapon in development in the Endor system — the second Death Star . IG - 88B rushed back to Mechis III to discuss plans with IG - 88A and the others . After talking together , the droids developed a plan to utilize the Death Star . Later that year , IG - 88A left Mechis III to work for the Zann Consortium , a criminal organization . IG - 88A owed the Consortium ' s second - in - command , Urai Fen , a favor , which he repaid by helping steal a large amount of Tibanna gas from Bespin ' s Cloud City . IG - 88A helped eliminate stormtroopers guarding the gas reserves , and then hacked into an Imperial database in Cloud City to discover information about a bounty placed on Zann ' s head by the Empire . IG - 88A also acted as a bounty hunter and was trying to capture Rebel Major Coret Bhan , who had been listed among the Emperor ' s Most Wanted , a list of high - paid bounties on critical Alliance leaders . IG - 88A had obtained Bhan ' s deployment orders from a Rebel courier , and was put in touch with another bounty hunter , who also tried to collect the bounty . The two met in a warehouse near a mining outpost on Dantooine , where IG - 88A informed his temporary counterpart that their target would lead a strike - and - fade operation on an Imperial outpost on the planet in two days . The bounty hunters decided to ambush Bhan on his way to the outpost , despite knowing that he would be surrounded by veteran commandos . Two days later , when the Rebel strike team reached the rough terrain surrounding the outpost , the Rebels were forced to cover the last kilometers on foot . As Bhan lead the commandos into a clearing , IG - 88A activated the trip wires which set off flechette mine s and smoke bombs placed by the assassin droid earlier . While the Rebels were confused , the bounty hunters launched their attack . The ambush worked to perfection , and soon the Rebels were forced to surrender . Bhan ordered his men to stand down , while IG - 88A put him in binders and prepared to deliver him to the Imperial authorities . Final stages of the plan . From the stolen Death Star information , IG - 88A knew of the Death Star ' s central computer delivery manifest . Using the facilities on Mechis III , he created a duplicate computer core and 100 droid stormtroopers , identical to actual Imperial stormtroopers . The IG - 88 models planned to transfer one of their consciousness into the computer core , giving that droid control over the entire space station . However , over the next year , the other three IG - 88s were destroyed , leaving IG - 88A as the only surviving model . He would thus be the one to take control of the Death Star to use as the ultimate weapon of his galactic Droid Revolution . IG - 88A crafted a fleet mimicking that of the Imperials , ambushing the convoy transporting the Death Star ' s computer core . His fleet obliterated the Imperials , allowing IG - 88A and his droid stormtroopers to take control of the computer . IG - 88A boarded the ship carrying the computer , where he encountered an old enemy — Gurdun , who had been placed in charge of this project and was stunned to see IG - 88A . The droid listened to the Human beg for his life , and then left him in the crippled freighter , to be killed when mines destroyed the ship . IG - 88A then transferred his consciousness into the computer , leaving the empty shell that had been his body behind while his droid stormtroopers completed the computer ' s delivery to the Death Star above Endor . To ensure that Moff Tiaan Jerjerrod , commander of the Death Star ' s construction , did not suspect anything , the IG - 88A sent a fake hologram of Gurdun to Jerjerrod , telling the Moff that he would not be present when the computer core arrived at the battlestation . At Endor , the computer was installed in the Death Star . After a month of stasis , IG - 88A awoke to take control of the battlestation . However , not long after this , one of his droid stormtroopers , now serving aboard the station , was injured when a supply box fell on it . The droid was in danger of being revealed , and , having been given specific orders from IG - 88A , self - destructed . Jerjerrod was mystified by this but did not pursue the matter further . Several months later , in early 4 ABY , Emperor Palpatine arrived aboard the Death Star . IG - 88A felt nothing but scorn for the man , believing him to be pathetic and unworthy of the respect he got from others . When Palpatine assumed the command chair in his private throne room , IG - 88A decided to teach him a lesson . He slammed a pair of lift doors shut in the Emperor ' s face , greatly surprising him . Palpatine used an unseen force to open the doors , however , something that IG - 88A did not understand . After this incident , the Emperor suspected that things were amiss , although he did not know exactly what , and IG - 88A remained safe from discovery . Mere days later , the Empire engaged the Rebel Alliance in the Battle of Endor in an attempt to crush the insurgency . Utilizing the Death Star ' s superlaser , the Imperials took control early , destroying several Rebel capital ships in single blasts . However , their superlaser targeting was slightly off , and so IG - 88A adjusted the firing course several times so that it would strike its intended target . The droid enjoyed destroying Rebel cruisers but felt that it was somewhat of a waste to destroy such small targets when the battlestation was capable of destroying planets . It was then that IG - 88A realized that the time had come for his uprising . He would send his code to all his programmed droids around the galaxy , causing them to rise up against their masters . Then he would use the superlaser to destroy all ships at the battle , both Rebel and Imperial . Another droid , R2 - Q5 , loyal to the Emperor , had by this stage also become aware of IG - 88A ' s infiltration and subsequent plan to reprogram all Imperial droids aboard the second Death Star but was ultimately too late to have any impact . As IG - 88A prepared to transmit the signal , he noticed that several Rebel starfighters were flying inside the station ' s superstructure toward the main reactor , with the intent to destroy it . He assured himself that they were of no threat , using an oft - recited " I think , therefore I am , I destroy , therefore I endure " phrase to comfort himself . Before IG - 88A could activate the signal and wrest control of the Death Star away from the Imperials , the Rebels destroyed the station , wiping out IG - 88A ' s consciousness with it . In destroying the Death Star and killing Palpatine , the Rebels had defeated IG - 88 and ended his droid rebellion before it could begin . Mysterious rebirth . However , IG - 88A was not finished . The droid ' s body was found on Mechis III by an individual and reprogrammed . Without his violent consciousness , IG - 88A was nothing more than a drone . Within a few months after the Battle of Endor , IG - 88A was in the businessman Barpotomous Drebble ' s possession . The droid , along with the Trandoshan bounty hunter Bossk , stayed on the planet Keyorin , where he was often seen in Drebble ' s tavern alongside his master . Later in 4 ABY , Drebble ' s nemesis Lando Calrissian entered the tavern . Eager to get his revenge for a variety of past slights , Drebble had IG - 88A , Bossk , and his Stenax guards chase Calrissian and his friends Han Solo and Chewbacca , while Drebble ran to Solo ' s ship , the " Millennium Falcon " , hoping to cut him off . Drebble reached the " Millennium Falcon " before Calrissian and tied up the businessman , planning to steal his ship and drop Calrissian off on Drebble ' s homeworld , although he had a change of heart when Calrissian presented him with the valuable Dancing Goddess statue . However , the group was suddenly threatened by gang members , who wished to interrogate Calrissian to learn the location of the Dancing Goddess . Solo and Chewbacca were able to distract the gangsters , enabling Drebble ' s guards to fire on them . A Near - Duros was killed by IG - 88A in the skirmish , and the gangsters quickly surrendered , while Calrissian , Solo and Chewbacca left . In 11 ABY , IG - 88A hunted the former Imperial Guardsman Kir Kanos , who had a large bounty placed on his head by the Imperial Ruling Council . In the service of Tyko Thul . By 24 ABY , IG - 88A had been found on Mechis III by Tyko Thul , one of the heirs to the Thul fortune . Thul reprogrammed the droid to act as his bodyguard . IG - 88A was completely loyal to his master . Hoping to draw his brother , Bornan , out of hiding , Tyko had IG - 88A and a group of newly - built assassin droids arrange a false kidnapping of himself on Kuar . In order to kidnap Thul , the droids had to fight a group of Jedi — including Thul ' s nephew Raynar — who didn ' t know that Thul had arranged the kidnapping . Desperate to rescue Thul , the Jedi made their way to Mechis III , where they found Tyko Thul , as well as IG - 88A . Thul revealed that he had found and reprogrammed IG - 88A so that he was no longer an assassin , though he would still defend his new master . He also told the Jedi that he had orchestrated his kidnapping in hopes of bringing his brother out from hiding , although he did not intend for the assassin droids on Kuar to pose as great of a threat to the Jedi as they did . One of the Jedi , Jaina Solo , questioned Thul about IG - 88A ' s capacity for killing , and when Thul told her that IG - 88A could still kill non - Humans , the Jedi realized that their Wookiee friend Lowbacca , who had been present on Kuar during the attack , could have been killed . They then had Thul reprogram IG - 88A so that he would be unable to kill anyone at all . Shortly after IG - 88A was reprogrammed , Mechis III came under attack from the bounty hunter Dengar . Dengar targeted the main facility where Thul and the Jedi were located , believing that they knew where Bornan Thul — who had a bounty on his head — was . When Dengar landed , he was greeted by IG - 88A , with weapons blazing . The droid , unable to kill Dengar due to his new programming , instead shot his weapons , causing them to explode and leaving the bounty hunter defenseless . Angered , Dengar fled to his ship and flew off , leaving the group safe thanks to the efforts of IG - 88A . Not long after this incident , the droid was again reprogrammed by Solo and her friends to search for the missing Bornan Thul . IG - 88A succeeded in locating Thul on an uncharted asteroid in the Deep Core , where the Emperor ' s plague storehouse was located . The Jedi , including Bornan Thul ' s son Raynar , had also discovered the storehouse and were already there when the droid arrived . IG - 88A attempted to protect Thul from bounty hunters hired by the Diversity Alliance , an anti - Human terrorist group led by Nolaa Tarkona . Tarkona had hired Thul to deliver her a package containing the coordinates of the asteroid , but Thul fled when he learned that contained within the warehouse was a plague that would kill Humans . Stubbornly following his primary programming , IG - 88A attempted to force his way into a sealed room where an infected Thul was located , which consequently held the deadly plague , not caring that doing so would spread the disease . Though IG - 88A had located Thul and was dedicated to protecting him , Thul ordered that the droid stop trying to force open the door , and instead save Raynar and his Jedi friends . After helping the children reach their ship , IG - 88A marched back to the storehouse , where Thul , who was near death , waited . IG - 88A encountered and attacked Tarkona , who had infected Thul , and her bodyguard Raabakyysh , upon returning , but he relented when they moved away , enabling him to reach Thul . Determined to fulfill his programming , IG - 88A waited there with his master and remained in the lab when it was destroyed by a New Republic fleet to eliminate the plague ' s threat . Characteristics . Built to be the ultimate assassin droid , IG - 88A was a ruthless killer . He enjoyed killing and considered the blood stains from the Holowan scientists on his body to be a badge of honor . IG - 88 ordered the droids on Mechis III to kill their masters , and he was prepared to kill tens of thousands of Rebels and Imperials at Endor , plotting to destroy their ships with the Death Star ' s superlaser . IG - 88A felt that he was superior to all non - droids and that his sentience made him greater than organics , ambitiously designing a plan to take control of the galaxy to claim his dominance , in which he hoped to harness such massive Imperial weapons as the Super Star Destroyer " Executor " and the second Death Star to achieve this end . The droid ' s arrogance would prove to be his downfall , however , as he failed to recognize the threat the attacking Rebel fighters posed to the Death Star at Endor . IG - 88A felt that no organics were as intelligent as he , and that his plan for galactic control was infallible . IG - 88A ' s strong belief that he was invincible remained even after B , C , and D were destroyed . IG - 88A waited years to carry out his revolution , modifying droids at Mechis III to make them obedient to his commands , and he also gave them a small sentience package . The four IG - 88 assassin droids were able to keep the operation running smoothly , and although Darth Vader once suspected that something on the planet was amiss , he , like everyone else , was ultimately fooled by the droids . Although the droid despised organics , finding them to be weak and foolish , IG - 88A held a daunted admiration for Vader , believing him to be a perfect mix of man and machine . Following his death at Endor , IG - 88A was reprogrammed . As his violent consciousness had been destroyed , he was a much more benevolent droid following his reactivation , who would only attack when commanded to do so . He was extremely loyal to his master , Tyko Thul , and attempted to protect him even when doing so would mean his destruction . Abilities . IG - 88A was extremely strong physically , and an excellent fighter . The droid had very thick armor and a blaster - reflective body , as only a few spots on him were vulnerable to blaster fire . He could rotate his head , allowing him to see a complete 360 degrees . IG - 88A could also raise or lower his body temperature at will . He shared the ability to connect with his brethren via linked droid brains to formulate plans . In this instance , the four thought as one , almost as a hive mind . IG - 88A ' s sentience package , an experimental new technology , allowed him to feel emotions to a limited degree and think in ways normal droids could not . All of these abilities went into making IG - 88A an elite killing machine . Equipment . IG - 88A , like all his brethren , had many useful abilities , as he was constructed to be the perfect assassin droid model . He was armed with built - in blasters , carried a DAS - 430 Neural Inhibitor , a sonic stunner , a paralysis cord , throwing flechette s , a stun pulser , a cutting laser built into one of his fingers , and a flamethrower . IG - 88A additionally carried concussion grenades and poisonous gas canisters , and had a computer input port , giving him a very advanced slicing system . Behind the scenes . Initial backstory . An IG - 88 droid first appeared in . However , " " , released by West End Games in 1989 , revealed that there were four IG - 88 droids , and another , IG - 72 , created by Holowan laboratories . It also stated that the droids killed their creators and then escaped , and one of the droids then proceeded to wreak havoc on the galaxy as a bounty hunter . This information was later included in " " . The " Galaxy Guides " first created some backstory , including details about the IG - 88 droids ' activation and the massacre of the Holowan scientists , information that was later included in the 1996 book " Tales of the Bounty Hunters " . However , " Tales of the Bounty Hunters " , specifically " " , by Kevin J . Anderson , then expanded on this information and created new facts about the droids , such as the plan for galactic domination . " Tales of the Bounty Hunters " was the also first source to identify the droids as the four models designated A , B , C , and D . In addition , this book established that the IG - 88 droid in " The Empire Strikes Back " was in fact IG - 88B . It also retcon ned IG - 88A to be in control of the Death Star during the Battle of Endor . As the Death Star was destroyed in this battle , the droid ' s consciousness was established to have been destroyed . However , the droid ' s body was not destroyed , and IG - 88A would appear in later works , such as " " , " " , and " " , set in 24 ABY , two decades after the Battle of Endor . In " The Emperor ' s Plague " , IG - 88A ' s body is destroyed , finally killing him once and for all . Character confusion . An unidentified IG - 88 model appears in the Marvel comics " " , " " , " " , and " " . " The New Essential Guide to Characters " establishes that IG - 88C and IG - 88D are the droids featured in " The Crimson Forever " , " Return to Stenos " , and " Fool ' s Bounty " . As " The Hero " takes place after the destruction of the other three IG - 88 models , none of which were known to be repaired , this article assumes that the droid in this comic is IG - 88A , who was repaired by Tyko Thul sometime after the Battle of Endor . An unnamed IG - 88 model is also in " " , set between 3 and 4 ABY . As this model has the ability to hack into the Death Star and take control of its superlaser , this article likewise assumes that this droid is IG - 88A . An unidentified IG - 88 model appears in " " as well . As this story is set in 11 ABY , this article again presumes that this droid is IG - 88A . Though Tyko Thul states that he found and reactivated IG - 88A , a date for this is never given , save that it is between 4 and 24 ABY . However , " The New Essential Guide to Characters " says that IG - 88A was found and reprogrammed by an individual and also appeared on Keyorin . Though this individual is not identified , it is made clear that Thul did not find the droid first , and that IG - 88A was in Barpotomous Drebble ' s possession by a few months after the Battle of Endor . The book also says that the assassin droid was later found on Mechis III by Tyko Thul , who reprogrammed the droid to serve as his guard . This article makes the assumption that IG - 88A was first discovered by someone who later gave the droid to Drebble , or Drebble himself , who reprogrammed the droid to act as one of his bodyguards in 4 ABY . The article also assumes , per " The New Essential Guide to Characters " , that the droid was then left on Mechis III , where he was found by Tyko Thul by 24 ABY , and again reprogrammed . The droid is also seen roaming the galaxy hunting Kenix Kil in " The Bounty Hunters : Kenix Kil " , set in 11 ABY . However , this is between the time period when he is shown to be in first Drebble ' s possession and then Thul ' s two decades later , so there is no contradiction .
