General Maximillian Veers is one of the most abitious commanders in the Imperial Army. He served personally under Darth Vader, the dark lord of the Sith, and formed the assault on the Rebel Echo-Base on the Iceplanet Hoth, where he personally led his attackgroup of AT-ATs, (After having discovered the location of the Rebel base by using a Probe-Droid.)

The Snowtroopers personally escorted Darth Vader in the attack on the Base, in which the Milennium Falcon only escaped in the last second. There is little known about General Veers further career, but it is guessed that he took command of a sector, and resurfaced within the higher ranks of the Imperial forces after the Emperor's death.
