A starship was operated by the droid bounty hunter IG-88. The starship originally was operated by RB-919, a cyborg and droid engineer, and was crewed by a number of droids. When RB-919 was hired by the bounty hunter Deva Lompop to repair IG-88, they traveled in their starship to an astronomical object that hosted the junkyard where the droid's remains were located. RB-919 brought IG-88 aboard their vessel and repaired him; however, the droid bounty hunter, following the first of Lompop's directives to kill those who were no longer needed, shot the engineer and destroyed their droid crew, commandeering their starship.
After contacting Lompop and receiving his mission—to reclaim the carbonite-frozen smuggler Han Solo from the bounty hunter Boba Fett, IG-88 embarked to Tatooine on RB-919's starship, but not before entering into a brief skirmish with pirates. After landing on Tatooine, IG-88 boarded Fett's own vessel, but was confronted by the bounty hunter, who incapacitated the droid and left him on Tatooine. As the fight against Fett had damaged IG-88 and prevented him from being forced to follow Lompop's directives, the droid bounty hunter took RB-919's starship back to the junkyard where his remains had been collected from, intending to improve his programming. IG-88 then continued to use it in his operations as a bounty hunter.
