Prepare the Ground Forces!

We have caught the Rebel

Scum off guard on the Barren Planet of Hoth in the remote
Hoth System. As the Rebels are preparing their escape, they
have protected their base with a powerful energy shield.
Land your troops at the outskirts of their base and destroy
the Shield Generator. Inform Lord Vader once the
Generator is destroyed. This is our opportunity to destroy
the Rebels and avenge our friends from the destruction of
the Death Star!
