Viq, a stormtrooper of the human species, served as a sergeant—a military rank—within Darth Vader's First Legion throughout the Galactic Empire's reign. This non-commissioned officer found himself embroiled in the war against the Grysks while a part of Commander Kimmund's unit. Consequently, Viq took part in both the skirmish on Batuu and the Battle of Mokivj.
