These walkers had been uniquely modified by General Arndall Lott's engineers to be controlled remotely.
Iolan Gendarr achieved the rank of captain and assumed command of the Reliance following the Battle of Hoth during the Galactic Civil War. This Star Destroyer was tasked with the protection of the Imperial Army center located on the planet Jardeen IV. Following the Battle of Endor and the death of Emperor Palpatine, Iolan Gendarr, along with General Arndall Lott, who was the commander of Jardeen IV's Walker Operations and Tactics, rebelled against the Empire.
