Lord Vader and the Imperial Navy have been alerted to the Rebels’ presence on the ice planet Hoth. Vader prepares his men for a bombing raid aimed at the Rebel base’s coordinates, but Admiral Ozzel makes a critical blunder and moves the fleet out of hyperspace too close to the Hoth system. Vader quickly disposes of Ozzel and prepares the Imperial snowtroopers for a potentially costly ground assault instead. Equipped with warming suit systems, polarized goggles and other extreme conditions gear, the snowtroopers are ready for battle in sub-zero conditions. Their methodical ground assault is successful in driving the Rebels from their positions. A team of snowtroopers escorts Lord Vader into Echo Base in an attempt to capture the last remnants of the fleeing Rebels, but their efforts prove to be too little, too late.
