"The slightest wisper of new weapons, new threats, and you risk so much on nothing but a rumor. How can your kind possibly govern a galaxy?" - General Weiss to the squad of elite Rebel operatives from his modified AT-ST.Weiss was an Imperial general active during the height of the Galactic Civil War. At some point during the Galactic Civil War, Weiss and his forces proceeded to raid a Rebel-owned encampment on Dantooine. His forces successfully managed to capture several Rebel soldiers, although not before the Rebels hid key supplies within the camp. Being an Imperial general and field commander, Weiss was dedicated to upholding order within the Galactic Empire, and frequently operated a heavily customized AT-ST walker. He also possessed a keen military mind, and was capable of deploying his forces to either charge the enemy or otherwise complete certain objectives while he himself focuses his firepower on any Rebel soldiers.Final encounterShortly after the battle of Yavin Weiss was tasked to lead the campaign aimed to delude Rebel command and through several carefully planted false leads lure their fleet into the trap and ensure its complete annihilation. The bait which was devised by Weiss was quite simple - to ensure that the Rebels uncovered Weiss has being in charge of super secret weapon project - to produce the miniaturized version of the Death Star laser. Through carefully planted leads and scraps of the information, Weiss was able to made Rebel High Command to believe that the threat is real and needs to eliminated at any cost, despite the risk the Rebel fleet will be exposed and destroyed. Unfortunately for Weiss the Rebels were able to see through the deception. And the trap over Ord Mantell which Weiss was so carefully planning turned out to be the trap for Imperial fleet. The fiasco led to Vader's severe displeasure and Dark Lord of the Sith went to Ord Mantell personally to deal with Weiss's failure. So far it is unknown if Weiss outlived the encounter with the Dark Lord.
