Viggen

Viggen was a male human who served in the military of the Galactic Empire. In the fourth year before the Battle of Yavin, he served as the commanding officer of an Imperial base. Under his watch, the base was raided by a group of anti-Empire insurgents led by Commander Ryden. Although Viggen's men damaged their transport starship, the rebels still managed to escape with stolen supplies.

Intent on wiping out Ryden's operations, the Imperial C.O. then tracked the insurgents to their base on the planet Imvur. Once he arrived in the orbit of Imvur aboard an Imperial I-class Star Destroye, Viggen was glad to find the rebels unprepared to evacuate. Against the suggestion of a lieutenant, the C.O. chose to launch an immediate ground assault instead of starting with an orbital bombardment. Having taken place in one of two AT-AT walkers, Viggen led his war machines toward Ryden's base, easily breaking through the rebels' meager defenses.

At one point, the rebels apparently decided to counter-attack, as three MLC-3 Tanks came out of the base and fired on the AT-ATs. Convinced that those obsolete tanks were no match for his walkers, Viggen continued on to his primary target, ignoring the MLC-3s. He quickly changed his mind when one of the tank, piloted by the rebel Kanan Jarrus, managed to destroy an AT-AT by hitting its neck at full power. The Imperial then figured out the tanks were only performing distraction maneuvers. When Ryden was forced to exit his tank, Viggen ordered his men to shoot him. That action, however, was interrupted by the sudden arrival of a rebel evac ship that brought the remaining AT-AT down. Although Viggen and the pilots survived the crash of their walker, they were forced to watch the rebels flying away from Imvur.
