Blizzard 1

Blizzard 1 was the AT-AT constructed at Camp Culroon, on the planet Zaloriis. It was used by Major General Maximilian Veers at the Battle of Zaloriis during the Galactic Civil War.

Veers and Blizzard 1 also led the Imperial attack group Blizzard Force in its assault upon Echo Base at the Battle of Hoth, targeting and successfully destroying the Rebel shield generator.

Behind the scenes
In the videogame Star Wars: Empire at War, Blizzard 1 cannot be toppled by snowspeeders to make Veers more fit to be a hero unit.

However, in the Empire Strikes Back novelization, it was disabled when the snowspeeder Rogue 4, piloted by Derek "Hobbie" Klivian and Kesin Ommis, suicidally crashed into its cockpit. (There's a major continuity error between this and the books and comics set after Hoth, where Hobbie is still alive) According to some sources, Veers survived the crash, although he suffered serious injuries to his legs and had to rely on a small repulsorlift chair for the rest of his life.
