However, opposing Rebel troops seem rather scarce. 40557 Defence of Hoth therefore appears excellent as three Hoth Rebel Troopers are provided. Anyone who looks at Hoth from above would be forgiven for thinking it a mostly dead ball of ice" ― Kell Tolkani's notes [24] Taanab · Yavin 4 (II) · Operation Mad Rush ( Vir Aphshire) · Alderaan survivors · Cyrkon · Andelm IV · Llanic · Rodia · Denon · Daalang system · Giju · Tertiary Usaita system · Devaron · Hradreek · Tatooine (III) · Operations on Tatooine ( Atom Edge · Imperial Listening Station · Tatooine (IV) · Empire Shuttle Yard · Secret Base · Reinforcement Facility · Imperial Garrison · Fort Ironhead) · Dandoran · Kuat (I) · Imdaar · Cymoon 1 · Tatooine (II) · Skorii-Lei (II) · Monsua Nebula · Nar Shaddaa · Vrogas Vas · Grumwall · Sunspot Prison · Harbinger · Ghost Moon · Tureen VII · Ocean planet · Coruscant (I) Star Wars: Card Trader (Card: Escaping the Ice World - Journey to the Rise of Skywalker - Base - Hope)

It notably hosted Echo Base during the Galactic Civil War, the temporary headquarters of the Alliance to Restore the Republic, until the Galactic Empire located them, initiating a major confrontation known as the Battle of Hoth. In the months following, scavengers established temporary base camps on the planet to scrap the AT-ATs destroyed. There isn't enough life on this ice cube to fill a space cruiser!" ―Han Solo — Listen ( file info) [8] Star Wars: Card Trader (Card: General Rieekan - Rebel Alliance - Base Series 1) (Indirect mention only) Mustafar (II) · Jalindi · Faos Station · Lothal campaign ( Lothal (II) · Lothal (III)) · Crucival · Ring of Kafrene · Wobani · Operation Fracture ( Jedha (I) · Eadu) · Scarif Shortly after leaving Hoth Han Solo and company were still aboard the Millennium still trying to evade Vader's forces. Solo used the ship's uncanny maneuverability and his piloting skills to elude an Imperial Star Destroyer chasing them, and two more emerging from hyperspace. Solo's maneuvers in the Falcon caused the two Star Destroyers approaching and the one pursuing to nearly collide with each other. The Falcon then attempted to make the jump into lightspeed, but was stopped short by an equipment malfunction; forced to take drastic measures to avoid capture, Solo made the decision to pilot the Falcon into a nearby asteroid field in an attempt to lose the Imperial pursuers.

I definitely like the set overall, but I have a few minor gripes that ruin my excitement for it a bit. In an attempt to impress Vader, Blizzard 4 attempted to cross a direct but treacherous route into the Kerane Valley, only to lose three walkers to crevices in the eastern ice flow. Blizzard 4's AT-AT group then retreated to a more manageable westerly route. The main group of AT-ATs soon emerged from the fog atop the North Ridge. [8]
