[[File:Images3.jpeg|thumb|302px]][[File:Hoth Battle.jpg|thumb|left|296px|A battle on Hoth]]The '''Battle of Hoth''' started in 3 ABY when the [[Galactic Empire]] dispatched a [[Probe Droid]] to the desolate planet of [[Hoth]], home to the [[Rebel Alliance|Rebel Alliance's]] secret [[7749 Echo Base|Echo Base]]. [[Luke Skywalker (Hoth)|Luke Skywalker]] discovered it but could not clearly identify it. Then later [[Han Solo (Hoth)|Han Solo]] and [[Chewbacca]] activated it's self-destruct mechanism. The Empire, meanwhile, deployed several [[4483 AT-AT|AT-AT Walkers]] and [[7261 Clone Turbo Tank|A5 Juggernauts]] to the surface. Since the [[7130 Snowspeeder|Snowspeeder's]] laser cannons were too weak to penetrate the AT-AT's thick armor, [[Luke Skywalker (Hoth)|Luke Skywalker]] employed an unorthodox tactic that involved wrapping the tow cable [[File:AT-AT.jpg|thumb|left|292px|The Empire battling on Hoth]]equipped on all [[4500 Rebel Snowspeeder|Snowspeeders]] around the legs of an AT-AT, tripping it and causing heavy damage. Luke downed one AT-AT this way, but then his Snowspeeder was hit by a laser blast, killing his gunner [[Dak Ralter]] instantly. He barely escaped from the wreckage before an [[10178 Motorized Walking AT-AT|AT-AT's]] powerful foot crushed the remains of his snowspeeder. Luke destroyed one more AT-AT by hooking onto the leg with a grappling hook, slicing a hole in the underside of the vehicle with his father's [[Lightsaber]], and tossing thermal detonators into the opening. shortly <gallery type="slideshow">

The battle was not a total loss for the [[Rebel Alliance]], however. They took down two walkers and disabled the [[6211 Imperial Star Destroyer|Star Destroyer]] "Tyrant."[[Mark Borlase' Hoth Base|Mark Borlase made an astounding re-creation of the Battle of Hoth.]]
