Battle of Zaloriis/Legends

The Battle of Zaloriis marked the debut of a new model of All Terrain Armored Transport, secretly researched and constructed on Zaloriis by a then-Colonel Maximillian Veers.

In the time following the Battle of Yavin, the population of Zaloriis was growing more and more tired of the Imperial presence on the planet, including the bizarre experiments with walking machines being conducted by Imperial military.

Summoned to a meeting with the Zaloriis Minister Transe Decar, Darth Vader walked into a trap, as the rebellious Minister had his troops capture Vader's men and hold him hostage. With little effort, all present were killed by the Dark Lord, who escaped the compound, freeing his troops as he went along.

After regrouping and gathering intelligence on the situation, Vader learned that Colonel Veers had been captured by the local militia and was sentenced to be executed. Ambushing the prison convoy, Vader and his troops freed the Colonel and proceeded towards the city of Fondor II, where they were able to call for reinforcements.

To gain an advantage in the coming battle, it was decided to liberate the prototype AT-AT walker from the research facility of Culroon. The walker, Blizzard I, was then moved to Fondor II, where it recieved armaments and was made ready for battle.

Rebel fortresses had been established with the help of the Zaloriis government, and these would bear the brunt of the attack. The AT-AT prototype figured prominently in the onslaught, impressing the Imperial commanders and demoralizing the Zaloran rebels.

After Zaloriis City had fallen, Veers searched the city library's archives for any information on the Alliance's hideouts.
