Hoth shield bunker

After the end of their conquest of the galaxy around 3636 BBY, the Eternal Empire of the planet Zakuul built a shield bunker on the western edge of the Southern Snowdrift Hills, a section of the Clabburn Tundra on the planet Hoth, to support the Star Fortress that they placed in geosynchronous orbit above the bunker. Commanded by ZK-294A, an elite Skytrooper, the bunker and its deflector shield generator was protected by powerful defensive emplacements, walkers, and Eternal Empire troopers. Around 3630 BBY, the Outlander—leader of an Alliance against Zakuul—rallied the local resistance against the Eternal Empire and organized a bombardment of the bunker, allowing the Outlander and the Arcona Hemdil Tre to infiltrate and destroy the bunker and thus expose the Star Fortress.
