Zaloriis campaign

A campaign occurred on the astronomical object Zaloriis shortly before the Battle of Hoth in 3 ABY. The conflict involved the Galactic Empire and the Zalorians, the inhabitants of Zaloriis, and came about in response to a revolt there. The human male Maximilian Veers participated in the campaign on behalf of the Empire, where he demonstrated his courage, cunning, and leadership while utilizing several new tactics of his own design. Veers won the campaign for the Empire. His attributes led to his eventual promotion to the rank of general in the Imperial Army, and attracted the attention of the Sith Lord Darth Vader, who requested that Veers be added to his personal Death Squadron. The campaign was mentioned in the Galactic Explorer's Guide authored by the pirate Hondo Ohnaka and his protocol droid DK-RA-43 after the Battle of Starkiller Base in 34 ABY.
