After the destruction of the Death
Star, the hidden Rebel base on Yavin IV was compromised and their victory over
the Empire short lived. The Rebel Alliance scoured the galaxy in search of a
suitable outpost for their new base, settling on the frozen world of Hoth. The
treacherous world is an unlikely destination, uninhabitable by many species, but
offers a chance of sanctuary from the thousands of Imperial Probe Droids that
search for the Rebels. It is here that Luke Skywalker and his allies hope to
escape detection by Darth Vader and continue their struggle against the Empire.
One of only a few beings capable of surviving Hoth's lethally cold temperatures,
large snow lizards called tauntauns are discovered living in the ice caves that
form the foundation of the Rebel's new Echo Base. These resilient creatures are
soon domesticated, providing a much-needed means of transportation when the
bitter cold renders the Rebel patrol vehicles useless. Although unable to
withstand the subzero chill of the Hoth night, they allow the Rebels to scout
the perimeter of the base by day and to maintain a network of sensors that
detect the presence of enemies.
When Luke witnesses a suspicious meteorite impact during his routine patrol
duties, his attempt to investigate is cut short when his tauntaun mount begins
to exhibit some very nervous behavior. Before Luke can begin to react, he's
knocked out of his saddle, and his tauntaun mount falls victim to the ferocity
of a deadly wampa. Savage and powerful, the wampa is a skilled with a dense coat
of heavy white fur, allowing it to blend in with the surrounding snow and ambush
prey with ease. Caught off guard by the cunning attack of this stealthy
predator, not even Luke's Force-attuned reflexes are fast enough to save him.
His tauntaun slain, Luke is knocked unconscious and dragged through the snow
toward an uncertain fate....
