As he drove the vehicle past Drelliad Village, a small settlement near the fort, the driver used the walker's sensors to determine that there was a large amount of fighting around the village and that the Separatists were close to taking it. Shortly after the driver informed Lieutenant Kolos of the situation over the comm system, the APC was attacked by a group of Separatists in the village who hit the walker with two shoulder-launched armor-piercing missiles. The second missile hit the cockpit, killing the driver, and, although none of the other troopers were killed, the APC was damaged beyond repair. However, while Kolos attempted to repair the APC, the Havoc Squad recruit was able to successfully destroy the Separatist missile stockpile inside the village and get to Fort Garnik.[2]
"Approaching Drelliad village, sir. Scopes show small-arms fire and enemy movements in all quarters. Separatists are definitely moving on the objective."
―The APC driver, informing Lieutenant Kolos of the situation around Drelliad Village[src]
The APC driver was skilled enough as a pilot to operate a Republic APC walker, although he was unable to evade the missiles fired at his vehicle. He had browneyes, fair skin, and brown hair. His uniform included a gray helmet that left his face exposed.[2]
The Republic APC driver makes his first appearance in Star Wars: The Old Republic, a 2011MMORPG produced by BioWare. He only appears in the opening sequence of the class story for players of the Trooper class, which is part of the quest "Hit the Ground Running."[2]
