Battle of Hoth

The Battle of Hoth was an important conflict in the Galactic Civil War, during which Echo Base on Hoth was destroyed. It would prove a major victory for the Galactic Empire, and would heavily stymie the Rebels. 
== Prelude ==
After the abandonment of the base on Yavin 4, the Empire spent much effort searching for the location of the Rebellion's new secret base. During an assault on Zaloriis City to punish the Zaloran separatists, Lord Darth Vader and General Maximilian Veers discovered archives of the library which showed the new location to be somewhere near Elrood.
Echo Base was founded around 4 ABY. Luke Skywalker had suggested Hoth as a possible location for the new Rebel base, after he'd been stranded on Hoth and found an Imperial in exile there. He killed the man and left in search of the Alliance, to bringing the information about Hoth.
