Stormtrooper droids were conceptualized to resemble Imperial stormtroopers, and are classified as droids, see the droids article for more information. IG-88B orchestrated the manufacturing of one hundred of these droids on Mechis III. Their purpose was to attack and obliterate an Imperial shuttle that was transporting a computer core intended for the Death Star II. Subsequently, they accompanied a false core, which housed the consciousness of IG-88A's, to the Death Star. There, an oblivious Moff Jerjerrod assigned them to construction tasks. The droids were equipped with a self-destruct mechanism, designed to activate should their real identity be exposed. When a crane mishap damaged one of the droids, the ensuing blast eliminated the whole team of workers.
