Legend

this man served the Empire as a Colonel in the Imperial Army, serving under General Veers during the Battle of Hoth. Starck led a group of AT-AT walkers from his own vessel, codenamed Blizzard 4. He hoped to lead the main attack on the Alliance's Echo Base, and tried to beat the rest of his detachment to the Clabburn Range by cutting through the Kerane Valley. However, the other three AT-ATs under his command fell into crevasses, and Starck was forced to wind his way north to regroup with Veers. During the battle itself, the Blizzard 4 walker was sabotaged by Luke Skywalker, who used his lightsaber to open a hole in its belly. He then threw a grenade into the walker, which promptly exploded. Starck and all aboard were killed in the the resulting destruction of Blizzard 4.
