❄️| Stressful Nights on Hoth

________________________________

Context:

Three years have passed since the destruction of the first Deathstar over Yavin, a colossal victory for the Rebel Alliance; an an act that had bolstered much public support across the Mid-Rim. With the intention of acting off public support and launching off their advantage Post-Yavin, the Rebel Alliance launched the Mid-Rim offensive against the Galactic Empire.

However, over the course of three years, the offensive had into nothing short of a disaster. The Rebel Alliance had been forced to halt their offensive actions within the first few months due to logistical short-comings. By 2 ABY, the offensive had began to completely collapse, with the Galactic Empire having forced wide-scale retreats across six planets, causing a wide scale withdrawal from the Mid-rim as a whole. The Galactic Empire was now on the counter-offensive, and the Rebel Alliance could do little to stop them in force. As such, Alliance High

Command has called for a strategic conference on Echo Base, located on the frigid planet of Hoth.

Did my best to fill in as much of her backstory into the context as possible, but there's just SO MUCH, so I shorted it. Mostly the events between Yavin and Hoth.
