Hoth is an extremely remote and icy planet, which temporarily hosted the location for Echo Base by the Rebel Alliance. It served as the home for heroes of the Rebellion such as Luke Skywalker, Han Solo and Princess Leia. The Rebels were then discovered on the planet and a conflict erupted that came to be known as the Battle of Hoth.

## Description

Hoth was an ice plain, with no sentient life apart from creatures such as Tauntauns and Wampas. Much of the surface was empty plains of snow and hills, making it incredibly difficult to navigate and learn paths across the planet. The temperature was also incredibly low, and got lower during nightfall. Life could not continue in such low temperatures, and anyone staying overnight on the planet or non-sentient creatures would need to find shelter in one of the planets many cave systems to survive. These caves expanded all across the planet, below its top surface. Rivers would sometimes flow through these caves and be the home of almost all life on the planet. 33% of the surface was covered in water, all of which was also freezing cold, with no discovered life yet known about.

The snow fall in Hoth was often at night, and when it came, it was incredibly intense and powerful. Once again, the ice caves come in as vital for any life which wishes to survive the intense weather of Hoth.

## History of Hoth

During the Galactic Civil War, Saponza's Gang (A Small Rebel Cell), created a small base on Hoth, one that they were unaware would become the large Echo Base in a few years.

At Mako-Ta Space Docks , Jan Dodonna created a list of possible planets that were safe enough to become the home of Rebel's bases. After the tragedy of the Mako-Ta Docks, and the Rebel fleet was left scattered across the galaxy, Mon Mothma released the list to all Rebel cells. Over the course of months, Echo Base was established on the planet and became the main base of operations for the Rebel Alliance.

Hoth was never intended to become a permanent place for the Rebels to hide from the Galactic Empire, and spent resources looking for other planets to flee to after they wee inevitably discovered. Their discovery came sooner than they anticipated however as an Imperial Probe Droid discovered them, leading an Imperial fleet to Echo Base. The rebels successfully got away from the Empire's attack after a large scale battle that became known as The Battle of Hoth
