BackgroundEdit

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.

The battleEdit

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 Camp Culroon. The walker, Blizzard 1, was then moved to Fondor II, where it received 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. At the height of the battle, Zaloriis City was devastated by Imperial guns, most notably the ones attached to Blizzard 1.

AftermathEdit

After the capital had fallen, Veers searched the city library's archives for any information on the Alliance's hideouts. It was then discovered that the Rebels had fled to a new location, somewhere near Elrood.
