Hoth was the sixth planet of the remote Hoth system. A desolate world covered with ice and snow, located in the Anoat Sector, a rarely-traveled portion of the Outer Rim Territories.

Located on the fringe of the Ivax Nebula in the Anoat Sector of the Greater Javin along the Ison Corridor, Hoth orbited the blue-white star Hoth on a wide elliptical orbit.[source?] Beyond Hoth was a large asteroid belt, known as the Hoth Asteroid Field, from which small asteroids regularly broke off, crashing onto Hoth's surface as meteorites.

The planet consisted of a molten metallic core with dichotomous crust. Its surface was entirely covered by a frozen ocean, except where volcanic fissures opened up steam vents, depositing rock and minerals in darker patches on the glacier planes. A few mountain ranges pierced the permanent ice shelves, some being geologically active. The tidal pull of Hoth's three nameless moons caused fissures in the ice-layers, sending jets of ocean water into the freezing Hoth air. The intense cold froze these jets into spires of ice, suspending primitive ocean algae within these tall columns and glaciers. Massive oceanic currents beneath the southern hemisphere caused regular seismic activity, resulting in a constantly shifting landscape of caves and tunnels. Buried deep in Hoth's equatorial region was a fissure, reaching hundreds of meters towards the core of the planet. In this area never exposed to Hoth's blue-white sun was a cache of lumni-spice, a rare fungal growth.

Its orbit and axial tilt resulted in consistently icy weather patterns. Daytime temperatures reached levels unbearable to most species and rarely rose above freezing, even in the planet's relatively mild equatorial regions. The gale force winds and intense snowstorms that regularly wracked the windswept surface magnified the extreme cold of Hoth.

The frigid biosphere included a minimal food chain: the predator wampas, the omnivorous tauntauns, the herbivorous Hoth hogs, a few rodent species, including snowmice and ice scrabblers, and iceworms, lichens, and Dragon Slugs.

The average planetary temperature was around -61ºC; however at Echo Base, located near the planet's equator in the northern hemisphere, daytime temperatures could reach -32ºC; however night-time temperatures got as low as -60.

Hoth's existence was known throughout the galaxy as early as 4,000 BBY. The swamp wampas of Dromund Kaas were proven by scientists to be descended from the wampas of Hoth. It is possible that wampas were brought to Dromund Kaas during the New Sith Wars, though the truth remains a mystery.

The planet was not entirely unknown to the galaxy at large. The trans-system data storage library on the planet Halowan contained a substantial amount of information concerning the Hoth system and the planet's geography.

While still relatively unknown and rarely visited, Hoth was occasionally frequented by pirates and smugglers who took advantage of its remote location, using the ice planet as a base.

Echo Base, Jann

Jann stood pacing back and forth in her room, the last few days hadn't gone so well. She had lost 2 members in the last fight, the spoils had bin less then she had hoped which meant she couldn't send any back home, a few mechanical problems had to be taken care of and just today a few new recruits had to be put in there place. "I really hate my life today." She said with a sight as she slumped down in her chair.

(Can edit if needed)

Echo Base, Zeb

Zeb knocked on the door to Jann's room...

Echo Base, Jann

"Enter." She said a little short trying to keep in her normel form.

Echo Base, Zeb

The Shistavanen entered.

"Some good news for you today, we just got the new shipments in that we were hoping to get ahold of. Including more supplies and those MD-series droids( http://starwars.wikia.com/wiki/MD-series_medical_droid ) you ordered."

Echo Base, Jann

"That's good, Thanks Zeb. Hopefuly now we can get the long range holograms to work and that cooking droid repaired. Is it any wonder that some of the crew's morale has gone down these last few days."

Echo Base, Zeb

"Nothing's ever perfect, Jann. We both know that lesson very well."

((Trying to figure out what to call your character?? x.x ))

Echo Base,Jann

"Yeah I know and meny of the others do to. It's just that is seems to want to all hapen at once. It's not like I can't deal with it or anything it's just ben when one of those weeks."

((As for what to call her Zeb can use her name but the lower ranking people would use either Capten or Ma'm I think.))

Echo Base, Zeb

The Shistavanen pirate sighed. Unfortunately what Jann also said was true.

"Good news is we have confirmation of a new supply convoy passing by within reasonable distance to our sector..... unfortunately it's a Republic Military convoy."

Echo Base, Jann

"Oh fun. But we may have to try it. Who knows when we'll get another chance to get those Supply's I'm just not looking forword to the posibility of having to use all the crew to do this." She then sighed. "I geuse well have to see." She then got up and headed to were she cept the Shadow Wraith.

Echo Base, Zeb

"We made need most of the big ships for this one, Commander."

Zeb was following Jann as he spoke...

Echo Base, Jann

"That's of no surprise when dealing with incidences like these." She said as she walked down the hall.

Echo Base, Zeb

The Shivastaven ordered for communications to be sent out to notify the other fleets. They had a dangerous, but likely worthwhile, convoy to attack and they would need some powerful ordinance to subdue the hostiles.

"Shall we go to the map room and examine possible ambush points, Commander?"

Echo Base, Jann

"Yes, we need to be pripared." She said as she headed to the maping room. "I sure the others will be hading there to." Sha said refering to the high ranking crew members invalved with planing.

Echo Base, Zeb

Zeb had them bring up a holomap of the sector the convoy was passing through....

Echo Base, Jann

"The convy is most likly headed here." She asid pointing to a spasific location on the map. "Given there strangths our best bet is to give a diverson and then attack here and here." She said derecting them to the spasifice positions.

Echo Base, Zeb

Zeb nodded.

"Still we need to be careful. This won't exactly be a defenseless little mouse we are catching here. We also aren't sure what the cargo is yet. But we know it's very valuable. It's risky, but we'll probably not get another chance like this?"

cho Base, Jann

"Right." Jann nodded. "This means we'll have to keep our defences up and do all we can to get that cargo without being careless. I sugessed the less expirienced members help with the radeing party. With any luck our distraction will be convinsing enough to hav more of there power focesed on us then on them."

Echo Base, Zeb

"We may have to use lethal force on the ships guarding the convoy. If we want to minimize our casualties."

Echo Base, Jann

"Agree, the fewer casultys the better. Any questins or conserns befor we leave?"

Echo Base, Zeb

Zeb looked around.... noone had any important questions as they had long since developed a strong trust in Jann as their commander....

Echo Base, Jann

"Well then I segest we get to work then. The cargo won't be within reach forever." She then left the room.

Echo Base, Zeb

Zeb followed Jann to the Shadow Wraith.

"Are you sure about this? Earlier you were still worried about the casualties from our last raid. This one's going to be a lot more dangerous."

Echo Base, Jann

"I know Zeb, I'm still dealing with it and I awase wory about that every time and esepsoly in situatens like this. But what if it's somthing importent, Somthing we could realy use?"

Echo Base, Zeb

Zeb sighed.

"Your right. My apologies, Jann."

Echo Base, Jann

"Executed. Now lets go see what they have for us. Oh and Zeb, Be carfull ok?"

Echo Base, Zeb

"Of course."

Zeb nodded and he began to help round up the raiding parties as they got onboard the Shadow Wraith....

Echo Base, Jann

Jann did all the usuel checks and made sure all were abored before starting the ship up.

Echo Base, Zeb

Zeb had the communications officer open a comm channel to the other ships for Jann's orders to launch...

Echo Base, Jann

"Ok guys if all is in order let's go to work, Oh and be caarful gues." She said thin a a calm tone though internoly she was vary worried that there may be some that wouldn't come back, this cupoled with the fact that she was still trying to deal with the losses of the last attack. As the Shadow Wraith was kpasishened in her spot Jann opedn the door lonch the other ships.

Black Cat, Hoth System, Hoth, stationary orbit, Dooka

Staring out the window of the shuttle, Dooka studied the icy world of Hoth, slowly turning far below; a contrast to the black void around it and within herself. If the diminuitive Sith were capable of feeling sentimental, she might have found the scene relaxing. Going to the back of the shuttle, Dooka sat down cross-legged and closed her eyes, letting the dark side flow around her. To the Jedi it was abhorrent, but to the Sith it was like sinking into a hot bath.

((To Near: As a personal request could you have the shuttle Dooka's using crash or malfunction to where the navicomputer (at least the travel records) gets fried? We just don't want the bad guys knowing where the secret Jedi Main temple is or that it's on Ossus?))

(Request granted. Dooka is gonna have a hard time on Hoth, cause I don't think Jawas are very fond of cold.)

Black Cat, Hoth System, in orbit over Hoth, Dooka

A jarring thud roused Dooka from deep meditation. The Sith slowly stood, still a bit sore from being electrocuted, and walked over to the radar screen. Dooka almost committed harakiri at her own stupidity. She had forgotten that the Hoth System was often used as a hideout for smugglers and criminals...her kind of scum. Switching on the comm. system, Dooka spoke in Jawaese, which the computer translated into Basic: "Cease fire immediately. I wish to facilitate communications, and bring an end to hostilities (only because she's flying a puny little shuttle). You are most likely smugglers or criminals fleeing from the kriffing Republic. In that regard, we share a common enemy. Let me leave in one piece, and your location will remain a secret."

BOOM! Dooka was thrown face-first into the console, knocking her out. The shuttle Black Cat fell from orbit and eventually nose-dived into a snowdune, somewhere in the northern hemisphere. The shuttle would never operate again, and neither would her navicomputer, which shorted out on impact, erasing all data from the memory banks. A snowstorm rose up and buried all but the Black Cat's charred engines and the loading ramp. Dooka survived the crash, somehow, but she would awaken with a vicious headache, and see snow for the first time.

Black Cat, Hoth System, crashed on Hoth, an urecognizable Sith Lord in a vision

"Wake up, daughter of the desert of two suns."

Black Cat, Hoth System, crashed on Hoth, Dooka

The voice slowly roused Dooka, who peeled her face out of the console and looked around for the source. "Who speak to me?" she asked, "I sense nothing, yet I know you there. Show self!" Dooka switched on her lightsaber and held it at the ready. "Dooka not in good mood, have Hutt-size headpain!"

Black Cat, Hoth System, crashed on Hoth, an unrecognizable Sith Lord in a vision

"You wise to have vengeance... but most importantly you want recognition. To not be thought of as weak and incompetent merely cause your own kind are labeled as such. You wish to change your fate?"

Black Cat, Hoth System, crashed on Hoth, Dooka

Dooka nodded and replied, "Yeah. I not weak, I Sith, I powerful. Jawa live where tall folk die, Jawa rightful owners of planet of twin suns. Dooka wish to change fate, wish to get off planet of ice."

Black Cat, Hoth System, crashed on Hoth, an unrecognizable Sith Lord in a vision

"If that is the case then there is a way to do that. There is a droid factory hidden on Tatooine and many other planets. The key lies in the offspring of a brave Jawa who's sacrifice was honored and the Valley of his death was named ofter him by the Jawas. The Valley of Kwyntehst. There you may search for his kin.... one of whom holds the key to finding this factory. With it you can retake your own planet and become the ruler of it all."

Black Cat, Hoth System, crashed on Hoth, Dooka

A Cheshire grin stretched across Dooka's rodent-like face, showing off many razor-sharp teeth. She steepled her gloved fingers, methodically tapping them together, and replied, "I do so, Sith-of-shadows. Dooka will take back Tatooine from tall folk, giants of sand, Hutts, all who defile Jawa's planet! Uncle Wittin be proud, wherever he be!" She looked around at the smoldering wreck that had once been a brand-new shuttle, "How I get off this planet?"

Black Cat, Hoth System, crashed on Hoth, an unrecognizable Sith Lord in a vision

"That my dear, is entirely up to you."

With that the Sith Lord in the vision vanished. But behind him could be seen a starship landing not too far from Dooka. Most likely coming to investigate the crash...

Surface of Hoth, Dooka

Lowering the shuttle's ramp, Dooka wrapped her cloak tighter around her and struck out across the icy wastes, a small black shape against pure whiteness. A heavy wind blew, stirring up huge clouds of loose snow. Despite her good eyesight, the Sith Lady could not quite make out what kind of ship had landed. She palmed her lightsaber, ready to use it if necessary (which to a Sith it always was).

Surface of Hoth, Jakob

The Cathar Pirate trudged through the snow. He had been told to take his group and search for the unidentified object that crashed near one of their outposts on Hoth.

He tried to peer through the snow storm... his keen eyesight then made out a small black shape not too far from them....

Surface of Hoth, Dooka

"Nice ride, I take it" Dooka said with an evil chuckle. She hurled a full-powered burst of Force Lightning into Jakob point-blank.

Surface of Hoth, pirates

As Jakob was killed the other pirates hastily began pulling out their own weapons to fight back.

Sadly they were no match for the Jawa Sith....

Pirate shuttle Dead Man's Chest, Surface of Hoth, Dooka

Bisecting the remaining pirate, Dooka hooked her lightsaber to her belt and went over to the pilot's station. Studying the controls for a moment, the Sith lady figured them out. Dumping the shredded pirates out of the shuttle, Dooka lifted off. She managed to escape the wrath of the bigger ship and rocketed off into hyperspace, on course to Tatooine. She had a destiny to fulfill...and a planet to conquer.

(To Tatooine!)

((Sorry but having Dooka blow up a hangar that shouldn't have enen been open doesn't make sense and comes close to Meta-playing.))

((They wouldn't leave their hangars open on Hoth. For starters it's just too damn cold!!! lol))

((The Pirates have their main basee and then they have their outposts))

((Maybe she just buzzed 'em. my post for Ossus is up.))

Echo Bace hanger, Jann

As Jann had flown the shadow wraith in to the hanger she had noticed that something had taken place during the raid though what she didn't know. There were a few bods and droids in the icy snow.

Echo Base Main Hanger, Zeb

Zeb noticed Jann's look of worry and decided to try and reason as to what had happened.

"Another Wampa raid, perhaps?"
