IG - 2000 The IG - 2000 was the starship designed and used by the bounty hunting assassin droid IG - 88 . It was produced on the foundry world Mechis III . Characteristics . The vessel was 20 meters long and had been specially designed for combat . While its mass was significantly greater than most starfighters , this was because the majority of the interior space was devoted to engines and weapon systems . She was fitted with a single KDY Galaxy - 15 ion engine that was stolen from a decommissioned Nebulon - B frigate , and drew its power from three Quadex power cores . These gave the " IG - 2000 " an impressive sublight speed that matched even Boba Fett ' s highly customized " Slave I " . In the event of a power overload , the engine cowling had eight bleed - off vents that would direct discharges away from the power core . A pair of extensible vanes enhanced the maneuverability of the ship . In normal flight , they were pulled flush with the hull , but in the event of combat they were extended out . The vanes contained several ailerons that assisted in atmospheric maneuvers and braking . Because IG - 88 had no reason to fear the gravitational effects of sudden maneuvers , the ship ’ s inertial compensator s were often disabled , this allowed the droid to perform such extreme aerobatics that would otherwise kill an organic pilot . Weapons - wise , the ship boasted two laser cannons , an ion cannon that was mounted below the cockpit , and two tractor beam projectors that were contained in the forward mandibles . Typically , IG - 88 used the ion cannon to disable enemy ships , then used the tractor beams to maneuver the ship to the airlock , where four assault drones were kept and used as advance scouts for boarding actions in case his targets were not so willing to surrender . IG - 2000 also contained sophisticated computer and communications equipment that allowed IG - 88 to use his programming skills to attempt to slice enemy ship systems remotely in order to weaken them before battle . Located in the middle of the ship was the prisoner hold . This was the only area of the ship that contained any life support systems . The " IG - 2000 " had room for up to eight captives and featured a single stasis tube for keeping any critically injured captives alive . The hold also contained a small med bay that was equipped with an old FX - 7 medical droid . History . One " IG - 2000 " was used to kill Olag Greck in a space battle over Indobok during IG - 88 ' s mission to Hosk Station . Another was blasted down on Ord Mantell , which then served as that IG - 88 ' s hideout . The final " IG - 2000 " met its demise shortly before the Battle of Endor over the planet of Tatooine . IG - 88D and IG - 88C , in an attempt to steal Boba Fett ' s carbonite - imprisoned Han Solo , used a decoy " IG - 2000 " with IG - 88C in it to distract Fett , while the real " IG - 2000 " would emerge from hyperspace to launch a surprise attack . The plan ultimately failed as Boba Fett saw through the ploy and narrowly missed being ensnared in IG - 88 ' s trap . In the ensuing battle , the " Slave I " was able to outmaneuver the " IG - 2000 " , capture the ship with his tractor beam , and launch a bank of concussion missiles , destroying the " IG - 2000 " and IG - 88C .
