[edit] History
Staffed by an experienced crew, Blizzard 4's role in all engagements was to seek out new terrain uncovered by the initial offensive thrust and unload troops to hold it.
In an attempt to impress Darth Vader, Starck and his group went through the treacherous Kerane Valley. [1]
Later in the battle, Luke Skywalker, his snowspeeder crippled and crashed, narrowly dodged the AT-AT's crushing foot, before grappling to its underbelly with a harpoon gun, cutting through the armor with his lightsaber, and using a thermal detonator to destroy it.[2]
