Biography[]
Jimmon Arbmab was a human[3] male who served the Galactic Empire as an Imperial combat assault tank commander with the designation HC-4120 in the Imperial Hammers Elite Armor Unit. Arbmab was promoted to the position of First Sergeant and deployed along with his unit to the Mid Rim moon of Jedha.[4]
While stationed on the desert moon, he and his tank crew were assigned to the transport security of kyber crystals being exported from moon's main hub, Jedha City. Shortly before the Empire evacuated all troops from the moon, Arbmab and his crew were part of a kyber transport detail that consisted of his tank and a squad of stormtroopers. The tank and its escort were subsequently ambushed by partisans loyal to the rebel leader Saw Gerrera. Many members of the escort were killed, including Arbmab, when Cassian Andor, a spy on a mission from the Rebel Alliance, shot and killed the tank commander from his position on the tank.[2]
Equipment[]
Arbmab wore the standard white plastoid armor of an Imperial tank commander, including the gray markings that denoted his rank.[4]
