Biography[]
Battle of Selsor[]
Soliger was a snowtrooper in the Stormtrooper Corps, joining the elite Snow Hawks unit. He ended up rising to the rank of commander, becoming the leader of one of the unit's four battalions. In 3 ABY, he was deployed to Selsor, and took part in the final assault on the Alliance to Restore the Republic stronghold. Soliger and his battalion stormed one of the forward Rebel bases, a guard post on the outer perimeter called Outpost Beta. They moved through the base, having an intense firefight with the defending Rebel troopers. However, Soliger and the rest of the Snow Hawks succeeded and took minimum casualties. Afterwards, they met with the Imperial Army officer in charge of the assault, Colonel Vandalor, who talked to the commander and told them they were to take part in the assault on the main Rebel base.
After arriving aboard an Imperial dropship to a camp about a kilometer away from the main base, Soligrr went with Captain Auddo Slokay and Lieutenant Amniva Silvoi to a command building and was briefed by Major Kalima on the upcoming battle. The Snow Hawks were driven to the base inside AT-ATs while the Army troops broke apart the Rebel defensive line in a human wave attack. After reaching the base, Soliger led the other troopers as they disembarked from their walker, the Striker One, and fought the remaining Rebel soldiers outside on their way to the base. The Snow Hawks made their way through the halls, killing many Rebels, before reaching the command center. There, Soliger killed one of the Rebel commanders, General Ennodius, an Umbaran.
However, they saw a group of Army troopers enter the command center, which was odd to Soliger since they were told in the briefing that the Snow Hawks would be the only ones sent. Adding on to the confusion, the Army troops began firing at them. Another officer, Captain Trax, told them via comlink that Major Kalimar betrayed the Empire, and was going rogue. Soliger killed several of the enemy troopers and as the unit made their way back outside. There, Colonel Vandalor informed them of the details, and then told Soliger that their unit was to be taken up aboard an orbiting Star Destroyer, as the 501st Legion was called in to finish off any remaining traitors and Rebels.

—Captain Slokay and Commander Soliger
