As her ship sped away from Corescent, Helene remembered from her school days that a major battle of the old rebellion took place on a cold planet, and would have the remnants of the old rebel hideout. She couldn't remember the name of the planet, though.

A cold place, she thought. A good place to go into exile. Nobody will follow me there.

She looked through her ship's archives, and found the name: Hoth. That's it, the rebels were there.

Helene navagated to the Hoth system. The planet looked like a snowball. Living on Tatooine with Master Lucilius made her curious about snow.

She flew close to the planet's surface and searched for signs of the old rebel base. She saw nothing but snow for miles in all directions. Finally, she saw a structure in the snow, the only human-made structure on the planet. She touched down, and her ship slid on the icy surface. It plowed right into a snow bank.

Helene climbed out of her ship and immediately realized the folly of her decision. Her ship was stuck in a snowbank, and she was completely alone. Nobody knew where she was. Her only hope was to transmit a message, but to whom?

She shivered. She had never felt so cold. She bent down, picked up a handful of snow, and started building a snow man. Then, she decided what to do.
