Nevar

Nevar was an incompetent Human brigadier general whose career in the Imperial Army during the Galactic Civil War was defined by nepotism and sycophancy. Circa early 2 ABY, Nevar supervised a failed Imperial expedition to capture and conscript the Force-sensitive Dathomiri Nightsister Kyrisa, who had taken refuge on the remote ice planet Hoth. During the unsuccessful operation, the Imperial expedition encountered a Rebel Alliance group setting up an outpost on Hoth, although when word of the Rebel presence reached Nevar, he incredulously deleted the report out of hand. Nevar's lack of insight allowed what was in actuality the Rebellion's headquarters of Echo Base to remain hidden from the Empire for more than a year.

Following Echo Base's eventual discovery by Darth Vader in 3 ABY, Nevar commanded the All Terrain Armored Transport Blizzard 2 of Blizzard Force, under the overall direction of General Maximilian Veers, during the subsequent Battle of Hoth. During the battle, Nevar's Blizzard 2 earned the dubious distinction of being the first Imperial walker downed by defending Rebel forces. At some point during the Battle of Hoth, the treacherous Nevar was assassinated.
