Igniter, an old mining droid with masculine programming, worked for the Hutts on the planet Mataou. He was upgraded with a prototype Imperial combat system, transforming him into a formidable warrior, albeit with a touch of madness. During the Iron Blockade of the Anoat sector, Igniter became a member of a young smuggler's team.
The character Igniter was developed for Star Wars: Uprising, a mobile game that debuted in 2015. He is among the various crew members players can utilize in Crew Runs to acquire valuable resources. Promotional materials initially portrayed Igniter with blue plating and STALKER-1 with gold, mirroring their initial in-game representations. Nevertheless, the character models showed Igniter with gold plating and STALKER-1 with blue. This accidental discrepancy was addressed in a subsequent game patch, aligning the avatar with the model.
