Hoth Winter Quarters 2015 Full Immersion December 1 - 31st.
Ok folks this is going to be a good event. That's right all Month long. Come and be cold as long as you like. Plenty of TaunTauns for everyone.
No fires so you know you going to love this..
History:
Hoth was the sixth planet of the remote Hoth system. A desolate world covered with ice and snow, located in the Anoat sector, a rarely-traveled
portion of the Outer Rim Territories, it became famous as the one-time location of the Alliance to Restore the Republic's Echo Base during the
Galactic Civil War. The base was discovered by the Empire in 3 ABY, precipitating the Battle of Hoth, a major engagement during which the Rebels
suffered heavy casualties and lost Echo Base.
Solo is quoted as saying:"There isn't enough life on this ice cube to fill a space cruiser!"
Even Luke said:"But a settler would have to be crazy to stake his claims on Hoth. This planet doesn't have a thing to offer anyone—except us."
The Rebellion's first official involvement on Hoth came in 1 ABY when Alliance High Command agreed to use the planet as their headquarters. The
Alliance Corps of Engineers, under the command of Major Kem Monnon and supervised by Major Bren Derlin, descended on the ice planet to begin
construction of High Command's new base of operations. Monnon's engineers took over the remains of the caverns once used by Salmakk for his
smuggling operation, expanding the facilities considerably. The base was built in the northern hemisphere on the only livable temperate band near
the equator. Construction on the new Echo Base was completed in 2 ABY. Aside from its remote location and near unbearable temperatures making it
an unlikely candidate for Imperial probing, Hoth was an ideal location because of the asteroid belt that surrounded the system, providing a
difficult barrier for approaching ships.[2] Additionally, the ever shifting caverns meant that it would be easy to move the base within the
planet.
The Rebellion operated out of Echo Base for about one year before it was discovered by the Empire in 3 ABY. An Arakyd Viper probe droid, launched
to Hoth from the Imperial II-class Star Destroyer Stalker, attached to Darth Vader's Death Squadron, reported the location of the base to the
Imperial Navy. Vader and his fleet of Star Destroyers soon arrived in Hoth's orbit, deploying a large invasion force to the planet's surface. The
Battle of Hoth ensued between the two forces, resulting in a crushing Rebel defeat. Those Rebels lucky enough to survive the battle evacuated the
planet. The debris of the battlefield attracted the scavenger Arns Grimraker.
