Rebel cannon sled

The Rebel cannon sled was a ground vehicle used by the Rebel Alliance during the Galactic Civil War.
==History==
During the Battle of Hoth between the Rebel Alliance and the Galactic Empire, several cannon sleds were present, with at least one on the front lines and another in Hangar 7 in Echo Base.
Some of the craft had laser-ice cutters mounted to them and were used by the Rebel Alliance Corps of Engineers, alongside excavator machinery, to carve out space inside the caves of Echo Base.
==Behind the scenes==
The vehicle appeared, unnamed, in The Musketeers: Shadows of the Empire. The original blueprints for the prop show its production name was "cannon sled".Star Wars: The Blueprints The 2016 reference book Star Wars: Complete Locations identified the laser-ice cutter on top of the vehicle, and the vehicle itself was officially named in a Star Wars By the Numbers video.
The Star Wars: The Blueprints book indicates the vehicle was mounted on a sled towed by an Aktiv Fischer Snow Trac vehicle. On set footage of the vehicle was included in the rare documentary by Michel Parbot, The Making of "The Empire Strikes Back". There were a number of publicity photos of Luke Skywalker manning the turret on the vehicle which, according to Lucasfilm Story Group executive Pablo Hidalgo, were not deleted scenes but rather on-set photos taken with the prop.
