The Movies

During the Battle of Hoth , it fell to the Rebel snowspeeder pilots to delay the attacking Imperials as much as possible so that the remainder of the Alliance forces could evacuate Echo Base .

Expanded Universe

Known as Hobbie to his friends, Derek Klivian was branded as the "skeptic" of Rogue Group. He was formerly a member of the Imperial Academy. He deserted the service alongside Biggs Darklighter and joined the Rebel Alliance .

Behind the Scenes

In the original script and novelization of The Empire Strikes Back , Hobbie nobly sacrifices himself by plowing his snowspeeder into the head of General Veers ' AT-AT walker. This scene is not in the final film, thus sparing Hobbie a fiery end.
