IN - GA 44 IN - GA 44 , or Inga , was a feminine Human replica droid created by the Sluissi scientist Alessi Quon for the Experi - Tech office of Imperial Intelligence . She was based on a design by famous droidmaker Massad Thrumble and was not covered in the synthskin overlay that was common to most HRDs . The droid was armed with hidden blasters in her forearms and had jets in her calves that enabled her to fly . She worked with the Imperial Intelligence agent Jahan Cross on field assignments . IN - GA 44 accompanied Cross to the Corporate Sector for his investigation of the Iron Eclipse project . While there , IN - GA 44 was captured by Iaclyn Stark , the head of Rossum Droidworks , and was infected with the Iron Eclipse computer virus that was designed to give him the ability to command any droid and override all other programming . IN - GA 44 was destroyed when the Eclipse space station fell into the atmosphere of the gas giant Reltooine . Biography . IN - GA 44 , also referred to informally as Inga , was a Human replica droid ( HRD ) with feminine programming created by a Sluissi scientist named Alessi Quon for the Imperial Intelligence branch of the Galactic Empire . Quon based her design on droids created by famous droidmaker Massad Thrumble . IN - GA 44 was a companion and aide to Imperial Intelligence agent Jahan Cross . Cross rejected the skin and hair overlays standard for HRDs because he wanted IN - GA 44 to look like a droid rather than a Human . Mission on Wayland . In 3 BBY , IN - GA 44 was present with Jahan Cross on the planet Wayland when he was investigating Colonel Milosh Muhrlein , who was in charge of Imperial Research Station 61 , a top - secret research facility . She went through the colonel ' s records and found confirmation that experimental droids and devices created at the station were the same as those available on the black market . When Muhrlein ' s attempt to bribe Cross failed , IN - GA 44 switched into battle mode at Cross ' s command and destroyed Muhrlein ' s two prototype battle droids , B - 2A and B - 2B . After leaving Wayland , IN - GA 44 accompanied Cross to the galactic capital of Coruscant . During Cross ' s debriefing with Director of Imperial Intelligence Armand Isard , she was in the Experi - Tech office , where she was evaluated by her creator , Alessi Quon . After Isard ' s debriefing , Cross went to get her and in spite of Quon ' s objection that he still had some evaluations to do on her , he released IN - GA 44 to Jahan for a mission to the planet Etti IV . Corporate Sector . Upon arriving at the Mondder Spaceport on Etti IV in the Corporate Sector with Cross aboard Imperial Shuttle 9604 , IN - GA 44 stayed with Jahan ' s possessions to keep an eye on them and prevent anyone from inspecting them . Later , she accompanied Cross to a party at the Imperial Embassy , where the droid identified and commented on VIPs for Cross . She gave him information about Elli Stark , the daughter of the smuggler and pirate Iaco Stark ; Dah ' lis Stark , the second wife of Iaco Stark ; Emesh Nar , the aide to the ambassador Blains Vorlin , and Iaclyn Stark , the son of Iaco Stark . Cross then sent her back to his room so she could do some research and look for links between Emesh Nar and the Stark family . IN - GA 44 found out that Nar and Iaclyn Stark were boyhood friends and that the Stark family had used its connections to get Nar his position of aide to Ambassador Vorlin . Later in the evening , the droid was contacted by Cross . While updating Cross on the connection between Nar and the Starks , she was ambushed by Emesh Nar and Iaclyn Stark and was hit with an ion blast that disabled her . The droid was then shipped to the Eclipse space station , which was orbiting the planet Reltooine . On the Eclipse . While on the Eclipse , IN - GA 44 was reprogrammed by Iaclyn Stark with the Iron Eclipse virus . The computer virus allowed the Starks to command any droid and they intended to use it to take over the galaxy . Cross and Elli Stark hired a YT - 1300 light freighter known as the " Millennium Falcon " , piloted by the smuggler Han Solo and his Wookiee co - pilot Chewbacca , to take them to the space station . After Solo dropped the couple off , they were attacked and attempted to escape from Iaco Stark and his army of droids . IN - GA 44 blocked the doorway and was ordered to kill them by the elder Stark . IN - GA 44 opened fire on Cross with her blasters but was unable to kill him , consistently pulling her shots wide , as the order to protect him was too deeply wired into her matrix . Cross commanded her to kill Stark , but this order , too , proved impossible due to the Iron Eclipse programming . Cross suggested that by knocking out the repulsorlift generators that held the space station in orbit , she could fulfill both mandates . IN - GA 44 saw the logic in the plan and headed to the lower levels of the space station . Iaco Stark ordered his droids to stop her before she could complete her sabotage . She breached the lift shafts and flew down to the repulsorlift generators , which she destroyed with her blasters . The resulting shockwave disabled her weapons and jets , and allowed the other droids chasing her to catch up with her . She destroyed many in vicious hand - to - hand combat . IN - GA 44 then made her way to an exterior door , where she contacted Cross via comlink . She explained that she was unable to fly and therefore could not escape the dying station . IN - GA 44 was destroyed along with the rest of Eclipse , as it could no longer resist the pull of Reltooine ' s gravity and fell into the atmosphere of the planet . Having been rescued earlier by Solo and Chewbacca , Cross made the decision not to return to the station and believed that he should not jeopardize the " Millennium Falcon " by attempting to save his droid . Cross also thought that IN - GA 44 might still be infected by the Iron Eclipse virus and that she might still try to kill him due to the virus ' s commands . If she was not , she would have the only remaining copies of the virus ' s code , and Cross did not want that to fall into the Empire ' s hands , because he thought the virus would cause chaos . Characteristics . IN - GA 44 was a bipedal humanoid – shaped droid with a female personality . She was clad in silver and purple plating . She had two green photoreceptors on her smooth face but after being infected with the Iron Eclipse virus , her right photoreceptor turned red . IN - GA 44 did not have any individual toes , although she did have five fingers at the end of each arm . She had cone - shaped audio sensor s with a vertical attachment , though she lacked the skin and hair overlay normally applied to HRDs due to Jahan Cross ' s desire for droids to " look like droids . " IN - GA 44 was extremely adept in combat and was able to successfully defeat multiple droid opponents at the same time . She was armed with hidden blasters in her forearms and had leg jets located in her calves that enabled her to fly . She was a fourth - degree droid designed for combat operations . Behind the scenes . IN - GA 44 was created by John Ostrander for the " " story arc , published by Dark Horse Comics from December 2011 to April 2012 .
