A botched attempt to bring Imperial Star Destroyers into the Hoth system quickly tips the Rebels off to the impending attack – and costs an Imperial admiral his life when Vader learns of it. Now a less efficient ground assault must be mounted if Vader’s forces are to prevent the Rebels from evacuating Hoth in one piece. Massive mechanical walkers are deployed to the surface, and Luke leads Rogue Squadron on a desperate mission to fend off the attack and buy time for the evacuation. But when Luke’s tail gunner is taken out by enemy fire, his snowspeeder becomes a sitting duck in the battle.
