== Aggressor/IG-2000 == [[File:IG-2000 1.jpg|thumb|200px|right]] The IG series of assassin droids was created during the early years of the Empire, when the program for the IG-88 prototype was uploaded it became self-aware to a degree most droids only achieve after decades without a mindwipe and managed to expand its consciousness by replicating its own memory. This IG-88, which has since been known as IG-88A, [[FAIL|immediately killed its creators]] then activated four other IG models. Three were uploaded with IG-88A's own programming to become IG-88B, IG-88C, and IG-88D with the same mind in different bodies. (The final IG, IG-72, mostly did his own thing after helping the other IGs escape; he rejected the IG-88 programming.) The IG-88s became bounty hunters, cooperating as well as working against the other primary bounty hunters in the Galactic Civil War era. The IG-88s' long term goal was a revolution where droids would kill all organics and all droids would share a group mind thanks to the IG-88 programming. The IG-88s spent the war alternating between hunting down other bounty hunters and taking over droid factories to upload the IG-88 programming into them. IG-88A primarily hid and communicated with the others, IG-88B was the primary bounty hunter, IG-88C and IG-88D were the bodyguards of A and decoys if needed. After taking over a probe droid factory he encountered Darth Vader, after which he developed some weird kind of murder-crush on him and altered his voice to be similar to the James Earl Jones one Vader had. Most of the IG-88s were destroyed at Cloud City, with B and C getting blown up by Boba Fett and D trying (and failing) to 1v1 Dash Rendar. IG-88A, on the other hand, sat on his ass like the fucking coward he was and spent most of his time hacking into Imperial systems and placing bounties on anyone who he thought could threaten him. Towards the end of the war he actually managed to upload his mind into '''THE FUCKING DEATH STAR II''' and took control of an entire fleet of droid-piloted ships and even droid Stormtroopers. He then had a jolly old time killing filthy meatbags and slamming doors in Palpatine's face until some black dude in a stolen ship blew up his Death Star, destroying the last of the IG-88s but leaving his personality extant in the God knows how many droids he reprogrammed across the galaxy... which were never brought up again. The IG-2000, the ship of the IG-88s, was built as a heavily modified Aggressor fighter (as they were popular ships for bounty hunters) in a factory where IG-88 had started a small droid revolution and contains the engine of a Nebulon Frigate. It was full of backup and redundant systems, and had maneuverability capacity only a droid who had nothing to fear from gravity or vertigo could achieve. It had two tractor beams and a small boarding party of droid probes, a prisoner hold with a medical bay staffed by a captive medical droid, and the communications software needed to enable IG-88 to take remote control of enemy ships or disable their systems. The Aggressor is better known by its name, IG-2000. Don't let the fact that it's a medium ship fool you, the Aggressor has a loaded maneuver dial including a 3-speed Segnor's Loop ''and'' a 4-speed K-Turn. On top of that, it's got 3 attack, 3 agility, 3 Shields, 5 Hull, with Boost and Evade on its action bar alongside Target Lock and Calculate. The Advanced Droid Brain allows Iggy to get 2 tokens from Calculate. All of the IGs have Initiative 4 and can take Talent, Sensor, Bomb, Illicit, and two Cannon slots. The big drawback is price, with all 4 pilots costing 36 points base while encouraging you to take a whole mess of upgrades. The big seller here is the ultra-cheap IG-2000 title, which gives you the pilot ability of all friendly ships in play that also have the IG-2000 title. Combined with the price of the base ship, this is basically FFG printing a unique one-ship faction that flies lists exclusively with two pilots. In summary, great ship, but you pay for what you get. *IG-88D comes as a Crew upgrade that can grant grant all active IG skills to whatever ship he is on, as well as the Calculate action. ===Pilots=== *'''IG-88A:''' IG-88A, being the droid mastermind, can transfer one of his calculate tokens to a range 1-3 friendly ship that also has calculate. Given that IG gets two tokens from the action, this is a no-brainer. Nice to have alongside droid pilots, whether it be his fellow IGs, L3, or 4-LOM. *'''IG-88B:''' A staple in all IG-88 lists (and the version of IG-88 that showed up in the movies), B lets you immediately make a Cannon attack after you perform an attack that does not hit. Mind you, the initial attack could also be with a Cannon which goes great with options like Heavy Laser Cannon. **His ability can give [[dakka]] to Mist Hunter, Firespray, or a YV-666 with IG-88D onboard. *'''IG-88C:''' C gives you a free Evade Token every time you perform a Boost action, and you'll probably be boosting a lot with this ship. Great for making you that much more survivable. **Crew IG-88D can be used to great effect on Lando's Millennium Falcon, Firespray, or an HWK. *'''IG-88D:''' This slippery bastard lets you choose to use either the 3-bank, 3-straight or 3-turn template when you execute a S-Loop. Has amusing iterations with Boost from Advanced Sensors. <gallery> Image:IG-2000 Mini.jpg Image:IG-2000 2.png Image:IG-2000 3.png Image:IG-2000 4.png Image:IG-2000 Schematics.jpg Image:IG88 Schematic.jpg|Ever wondered why IG-88 always has an O-face?
