Battle of Hoth

The Battle of Hoth was a conflict that occured on Hoth during the Galactic Civil War, not long after the Battle of Yavin. The battle began when Darth Vader's Death Squadron (consisting of Star Destroyers Tyrant, Conquest, Devastator, Stalker and Avenger) commenced an attack on the Rebel Base on Hoth. After landing AT-ATs on the planet and commanding them to assault the Rebel Generators, Darth Vader oversaw the orbital bombardment of the Rebel Emplacements.

Luke Skywalker and Wedge Antilles led a snowspeeder charge against the AT-AT attack force, and the Ion Cannon on the surface of the planet disabled the Tyrant and allowed Rebel Transports like the Limnate and the Luminous to escape. After having his speeder grounded, Luke fled to an X-Wing with R2-D2 and sped off to meet with Yoda whilst the Millenium Falcon escaped via a Hangar. Despite this battle officially being an Imperial Victory, it allowed the Rebel Fleet to regroup at Sullust.
