Zalorian

Zalorians were the inhabitants of the astronomical object Zaloriis. Shortly before the Battle of Hoth in 3 ABY, the Zalorians fought the reigning Galactic Empire on Zaloriis, who had to put down a revolt there. The human male Maximilian Veers was among the Imperial combatants, and he employed new tactics of his own design that gave victory to the Empire. Veers' actions against the Zalorians demonstrated the cunning and courage that led to his promotion to the rank of general in the Imperial Army, and assignment to the Sith Lord Darth Vader's Death Squadron.
