Blizzard 4/Legends
Blizzard 4 was an All Terrain Armored Transport that was part of Blizzard Force. It was present at the Battle of Hoth, commanded by Colonel Starck. Luke Skywalker destroyed Blizzard 4 during the battle with a concussion grenade.
History
Staffed by an experienced crew, Blizzard 4's role in all engagements was to seek out new terrain uncovered by the initial offensive thrust and unload troops to hold it. In an attempt to impress Darth Vader, Starck's group went through the treacherous Kerane Valley.[14] Later in the battle, Luke Skywalker, his snowspeeder crippled and crashed, narrowly dodged the AT-AT's crushing foot, before grappling to its underbelly with a harpoon gun, cutting through the armor with his lightsaber, and using a concussion grenade to destroy it, the resulting explosions also decapitating it in the process.[13]
