Sending probe droids across the galaxy, the Galactic Empire located the Rebel Alliance stronghold on planet Hoth, a site called Echo Base. Outside of the armor and weaponry Echo Base was equipped with, Hoths extreme weather granted the rebels another level of defense.

Deploying troops that were trained and outfitted for combat effectiveness in extreme cold, the Galactic Empires army, led by Darth Vader, would launch an assault to destroy Echo Base.

This Blizzard Force Special Edition Starter Set contains a 600-point Recon-level army, including a Special Edition alternate sculpt of Darth Vader.
