A long time ago in a galaxy far far away…
13 years after the Treaty of Coruscant, the galaxy is balanced on a razor's edge. While neither the Empire nor the Republic appear to have the upperhand, tensions and skirmishes are common as both vie for power. In the Outer Rim, The Republic, working alongside the Jedi, seeks to push back against the encroaching Empire’s forces.
Hoth is a remote, icy planet located in the Anoat sector of the galaxy's Outer Rim Territories. At the height of the Old Republic, Hoth was of little strategic interest. However, in the Great War, a battle was fought there, which saw both sides deploy their most advanced starfighters and ships. In the wake of the Empire’s victory, both sides abandoned wrecks on the planet's surface.
Since then, the Empire and Republic have become entrenched in skirmish warfare as the Republic looks to reclaim technology and territory. Salvage crews look to make good money among the Starship Graveyard. The Republic offers fair prices for anything which may help them in the war effort. Such a wealth of abandoned military equipment also attracts less savoury types, who looked to profiteer off the icebound remnants. Various smuggling rings try to make use of Hoth as a base, yet their efforts have so far failed due to the planet's extreme conditions. Few native species are able to thrive in such unforgiving cold.
It was in this challenging landscape that Frostpoint Outpost sits. Small, and reliant on supplies from the Core, Frostpoint’s mission is to establish a base should it ever be needed by the Republic in the days to come. As well as being tasked with keeping an eye on Republic interests in the sector, it acted as a cold-research centre and rendezvous point for Republic and Jedi forces. It also offered respite form the cold for wayward smugglers and bounty hunters who were looking to make quick credits.
However Frostpoint also holds a secret known only to a select few. Underneath the base, is a high security facility, referred to as Cold Storage. As personnel at the base salvage what technology they can from the Starship Graveyard, authorised personnel are also gathering information on Imperial activity in the sector. Frostpoint is both a secret listening post and artifact archive, doing whatever they can to turn the tides of war.

The familiar drum beat of the cold weather heavy armour boots heralded the arrival of the base commander. This time they seemed to ring out a little quicker than normal, a sense of purpose and urgency given to them by the wearer.

The wind howled across the desolate tundra, sweeping up light flurries of fine snow that, were he not wearing armour, would have stung Thelin’s skin. The old Mandalorian trudged forward, his steps slow but deliberate, his boots sinking deep into the frozen crust with each measured stride. The markers inside…

Commander Babs Betany had never been one to walk softly. Even as a younger trooper there was a reason she had been quickly pointed towards demolitions over stealth operations. And in the heavy cold weather boots, her presence was announced by the thunk, thunk, thunk of each step. Like a…

Bul blinked once, looked around and then yawned. He smacked his lips together a couple of times, trying to get some moisture in his mouth, and laid his head back against the shuttle’s bulkhead. As he did, he felt a sharp and persistent poking sensation in his right arms. He…

Major Babs Betany could often be heard before she could be seen. In Frostpoint there were no carpet to muffle the marching tread of her heavy combat boots. And so her entrance to the Starfighter hangar was accompanied by the echoing drum beat. "Trooper Rask." She greeted as she approached…
