IG-118 was manufactured by Halowan Mechanicals as were all the IG series droids. IG-118 was sent off with 5 other droids the be trained by General Grievous himself. IG-118 and the five others in the seven styles of lightsaber combat, they trained mostly with an electrostaff but were trained in many melee weapons as well. During training General Grievous would not allow repairs so if a droid got badly damaged that was it, after a few days Grievous destroyed one of the other droids in anger. The rest finished the training and IG-118 was sent to guard Grievous’s castle on the third moon of Vassek.

IG-118 was transferred a lot because shortly after he was ordered to assist Count Dooku on Naboo to capture Anakin Skywalker, which they were successful in taking Anakin captive. After that IG-118 was then transferred back to General Grievous to start to make preparations for an assault on Coruscant and the kidnapping of Chancellor Palpatine. Two months later the Battle of Coruscant commenced and IG-118 was dropped in with dozens of other MagnaGuards to help fight Shaak Ti, but all of the MagnaGuards retreated after they heard that General Grievous had captured the Chancellor. IG-118 along with MagnaGuards and battle droids boarded the landing crafts that they came on and jumped into hyperspace after the fall of the Invisible Hand. Only a few days after the Battle of Coruscant everyone aboard the landing craft including IG-118 had heard of the death of General Grievous and how clones started to kill Jedi. The Ship started to drift in space as droids started deactivating, IG-118 was able to get to an escape pod and launched himself into space as he was soon deactivated while in the pod.

IG-118 drifted in space for years until his pod crash landed in the water on a Planet named Kardura. IG-188 is found by Quarres and his sold to TaggeCo who are humans on the little land that is on this planet. Soon after TaggeCo acquired IG-118 they reactivated him and told him everything that had happened in the time he was deactivated. IG-118 was given a job by TaggeCo to guard the warehouse where Imperial security restricted cargo would be delivered to a storage building which only a woman named Nala Se had access to. The cargo was variable in size and arrived from unknown locations. IG-118 was only given permission to patrol the perimeter of the warehouse.. She would load the cargo into a freight transporter and drive the vehicle herself out of the facility. Infrequently, shipments arrived with a stormtrooper escort. Shipments happened at irregular intervals but continued throughout the two years Nala Se worked at TaggeCo. IG-118 started to build a personality and also started to question orders given by TaggeCo, so they didn't waste anytime with IG-118 and sold him to a man named Garm who runs a droid boxing club. Garm stuck a restraining bolt on IG-118 and is forced to follow orders given by Garm.
