As night descends on the frozen world, a small Rebel force fights to reclaim Echo Base. Left behind during the evacuation is critical intelligence, secrets that could expose other hidden Rebel strongholds.
Scattered Imperial troops, believing the battle already won, are caught off guard as the Rebels push back across the ice.
Above them, a crippled Star Destroyer drifts in orbit... its systems slowly coming back to life.
Time is running out.
To secure the data and keep it out of Imperial hands, the Rebels must hold the line and keep the ion cannon operational long enough to finish what they started.
But on the ground, Colonel Haydor refuses to abandon the fight. Cut off from command and desperate for support, he sets a plan in motion to destroy the ion cannon and take back control of Hoth.
Amid the chaos, we follow engineer Kyla and her astromech companion Bud, working against the clock inside Echo Base.
And somewhere in the ranks... a lone snowtrooper hides a dangerous secret.
