Imperial Veterans Association

The Imperial Veterans Association was a veteran's affairs organization dedicated to veterans of the Imperial Military, a force composed of seemingly countless beings who served the Galactic Empire, which reigned from 19 BBY to 4 ABY before falling in 5 ABY. The Imperial Veterans Association made use of the Imperial crest, the Empire's symbol. One particular battle honored by the Veterans Association was the Battle of Hoth, an Imperial victory over the Alliance to Restore the Republic in 3 ABY during the Galactic Civil War. In memory of the battle, the association created a poster centering on three All Terrain Armored Transports marching towards the deflector shield generator of Echo Base, with four Alliance snowspeeders pictured engaging the AT-ATs. Additionally, the poster featured two AT-AT pilot helmets at the bottom and four Imperial Star Destroyers overhead at its top.
