Objective

The Imperial fleet has just arrived in the Hoth system, and battle preparations are well underway on both sides. The Rebels have raised their theater shield and are preparing to evacuate with 30 GR-75 medium transports, while the Imperials seek to use a blockade and a ground invasion to cripple the Rebellion once and for all. It is your job to establish the battle plan that will carry your side to victory, while inflicting as heavy of losses as possible on the opponent, and minimizing your own!
