Echo Station 3-8

Echo Station 3-8, or Advance Station 3-8, was an isolated Rebel facility located near Zone Twelve on the ice planet Hoth. It served as an outpost for Echo Base, the Alliance's primary headquarters on Hoth. In 3 ABY, a Rebel trooper at Station 3-8 spotted an unidentified object moving toward the outpost and reported its presence to Echo Base. The object, which turned out to be an Imperial Viper probe droid searching for the Rebels' headquarters, destroyed the outpost before it could complete its transmission.
