Kem Monnon

Kem Monnon was a Human who spent years on tramp freighters before joining the Alliance to Restore the Republic. By 1 ABY, he had become a major and the chief of the Alliance Corps of Engineers. In that year, Monnon was present on the planet Hoth, leading the Alliance Corps of Engineers when they were assigned to construct a base for the Alliance High Command.

Monnon reported to General Carlist Rieekan, deeply respecting the latter and ensuring the other engineers maintained the same respect for the general. The group had also modified T-47 airspeeders for optimal performance in Hoth's cold weather and domesticated the native tauntaun species for use as mounts. The subsequent Echo Base headquarters had ultimately taken eighteen months to carve out and two more to fit it with electronics, weapons and life support. Monnon would later write a report about Hoth and his time constructing Echo Base.
