General Veers

General Veers is a general of the Empire, appearing only in Star Wars Episode V: The Empire Strikes Back.

Darth Vader sent General Veers to lead the attack on the rebel base at Hoth. Veers and his men were driving Imperial Walkers. Veers destroyed the shield generators of the rebel base, but most of the rebels were able to escape.

What becomes of Veers afterwards is unknown, as he is never seen again following this scene. A deleted scene depicts a damaged rebel pilot, Hobbie, crashing his fighter into the cockpit of Veers's walker, killing them both. However, the scene is depicted as if it takes place before Veers can destroy the shield generators. It could be argued that it does happen after. If this scene never did occur, then Veers was likely on board the Super Star Destroyer when it was brought down, or else aboard the Death Star when Lando blew it up.

The Expanded Universe does depict Hobbie crashing his fighter into Veers's walker, and that both survive, and that Veers is later sent on a suicide mission, resulting in his death. Its canonocity, however, is debatable.
