- ―Darth Vader, to the captain
A stormtrooper served as a cold weather assault stormtrooper and Stormtrooper Commander with the military rank of captain[2] within the 501st Legion.[3] During the Battle of Hoth, the captain landed alongside Dark Lord of the Sith Darth Vader in a Lambda-class T-4a shuttle after Imperial Army General Maximilian Veers informed Lord Vader that he could begin his approach. Upon landing, Lord Vader ordered the captain to seek out the Rebel Alliance leadership including Generals Carlist Rieekan and Princess Leia Organa.[2]
