## Player Evaluation

IG-88 B is quite similar to its predecessor, IG-88, but posses differences that give several tactical benefits. In space, IG-88 B's unnamed Captor Carrier is very similar to the standard variant with its only difference being its complement having one extra Aggressor Assault Fighter Squadron, where the standard variant has none. On the ground, IG-88 B works exactly like the original IG-88, possessing the same armaments and abilities. Unlike the original however, he has an escort of IG-86 Sentinel Droid Team to assist him. IG-88 B also possess greater tactical knowledge than his predecessor, and provides combat bonuses to both frigates during space combat, and droid units during land combat. Unlike the original IG-88, B does not have galactic stealth and is unable to assassinate enemy heroes or spy on enemy units.

IG-88 B in space is a great support unit, allowing the Black Sun's frigates to fight at their best while healing fighters and providing anti-fighter support as needed. In land battles, he gives droid units combat boosts in combat, making the most out of the Droid Revolution Tech units, but isn't as useful when units of other techs are present. By itself, 88 B makes for a great anti-personnel, with his poison and stun grenades, as well as his axe attack.

## Lore Description

Though many believe IG-88 to be just one bounty hunter droid upon many, he is in reality a part of a plot that many in the galaxy, including its fellow Vigo's of the Black Sun, are unaware of. In reality, he is creating an army that, with time, will overthrow the Black Sun and all other government and military organizations, which will come to be known as the Droid Revolution.

IG-88 B is the second out of the four IG-88 units who were given an incomplete strand of sentience programming that made them extremely hostile to living beings, leading to those killing their creators and being blending in amongst the galaxy. Eventually their leader, IG-88 A was able to gain influence in the Black Sun by collecting bounties on undesirable individuals, acting as advisor to the head Vigo, Prince Xizor, and recently, bolstering Black Sun's forces with old and repurposed droids found throughout the galaxy. This is all a ruse however, as the galaxy will find out soon enough. For now however, the droids that share their consciousness with IG-88 A, those being IG-88 B, C, and D, will leave their respective places as overseers of the reprogrammed droids works at Mechis III, Geonosis, and Hypori, to assist the Black Sun until their true plans are ready to be put into motion.

IG-88 B will be tasked with being a sort of small ship commander and field commander for the Black Sun's forces. For this purpose, IG-88 A added programming to help with this regard, ensuring that he will have the tactical knowledge and foresight to ensure he is fit for command, while still being as brutal and ruthless as the original IG-88.
