IG-2000
MODIFIED TRILON INC. AGGRESSOR ASSAULT FREIGHTER
IG-2000 was the assault starfighter utilized by
the assassin droid IG-88. The IG-2000 was designed and built
by the droids of Mechis III for IG-88B in 2 days, for him to
use as his bounty hunter ship. Roughly twenty meters long,
the ship was designed specifically for combat.
While its mass was significantly higher than that
of most starfighters, the majority of the interior space was
devoted to engines and weapons systems. This fighter's power
came from a single Kuat Galaxy-15 ion engine stolen from a
decommissioned Nebulon-B escort frigate. The engine was
force-fed from three converted Quadex power cores, with a
sublight speed that matched that of Boba Fett's Slave I and
the Alliance's Y-wing fighter. To handle possible power
overloads, the engine cowling had eight bleed-off vents that
would direct discharges away from the power core.
Manuverability was enhanced via a pair of extendable vanes.
These were pulled flush with the hull for normal starflight,
but for combat they were extended out.
The vanes had several ailerons for atmospheric
manuvers and braking. The ship's inertial compensators were
often disabled, since IG-88 had no reason to fear the
gravitational effects of sudden manuvers; the droid could
perfor manuvers that would kill an organic pilot.
IG-2000's weaponry consists of a pair of forward
laser canons, a single ion canon mounted below the cockpit,
and a pair of tractor-beam projectors mounted in the forward
mandibles. Because bounties are often offered for live
captures, the droid preferred to use the ion canon to
disable enemy ships, then use the tractor beams to manuver
ships to the air lock.
IG-88 kept four assault drones in the air lock
and used them as advance scouts for boarding actions in case
his targets preferred to fight rather than surrender. The
forward cockpit section was IG-88's domain, with a weapons
locker and a small maintenance area placed just behind the
pilot station. The prisoner hold, the only area on the ship
with a life support system, filled the middle deck of the
ship. IG-2000 had room for up to eight captives and featured
a single stasis tube for keeping critically injured captives
alive.
The hold also has a small medbay (with an old
FX-7 medical assistant droid) and an interrogation room.
