	Heheh, Talon is at it again. :P I alway's wondered why the EMPIRE would need to hide out in a secret base a year after Endor. It makes a lot more sense when it's a place to train troops like Carida, rather a place to govern the Empire from. Trioculus even mentions something about troops not growing lazy on such a frigid planet, I believe. Slick work as always, Talon.

	Grand Admiral Takel then suggests Dagobah. Now, a lot of people find it odd (at best) that an Imperial would know of Dagobah. Emperor Trioculus finds it more than odd, for him, it's a time waster. He makes this fact known quite loudly, while knocking over a flask of zoochberry cream (you'll be seeing a lot of zoochberries in this series, apparently it's a galactic staple.) Well, Dagobah was not unknown to the galaxy at large. Although Dagobah is not on any modern starcharts, there have been several ill-fated attempts at colonization over the centuries. An Old Republic scouting team was stranded on the planet, and a cruise ship later crashed there. In the first year of the Empire, an Imperial scout visited the planet briefly, then skedaddled (scaredy cathar!), and a few members of the Imperial senate were aware that a rogue Dark Jedi had been stopped on the planet years ago. Because of these incidents, Dagobah gained a reputation as a haunted planet. This might actually be a factor in its favor, with regards to the potential Imperial base. No one likes to visit a haunted muddy planet (particularly out of season) and supposedly haunted areas of space (such as the planet Kiva and the Dreighton Nebula) had been used as secret Imperial bases before. (The fact that both bases were eventually discovered and razed by the Rebels is beside the point! ) Of course, the New Republic has already established a base on Dagobah. But Takel doesn't know that. Finally, Hissa makes a suggestion that Trioculus actually likes. (Trioculus likes it! He really likes it!) Hissa suggests--Hoth! Surprise, surprise. Hissa's reasoning is sound, however (hey, there's a first time for everything): "The new base should be located on a world that the Rebel Alliance wouldn't consider important."..."Preferably a world where Imperial stormtroopers won't be too comfortable--comfortable men grow lazy and rebellious. There are still bases and military bunkers on Hoth that the Rebels once used before our four-legged AT-AT walkers [what, the other Grand Moffs wouldn't know how many legs an AT-AT has? On second thought, don't answer that question.] chased them off the planet,"..."All we have to do is move in!'" So, Trioculus orders all the warlords loyal to him to transport their military equipment to Hoth. Before too long, an Imperial garrison will be established in the ice caverns. The Empire is merely the latest in a series of organizations that have occupied the ice caverns. Salmakk, the Mon Calamari smuggler (yeah, yeah, but there are exceptions to every rule) constructed a base in the caves. He deserted the base, and it was vacant for years, until a pair of human replica droids chose it as a hide-out. They were discovered by Luke Skywalker, who suggested that the Rebel Alliance establish its new base there. Salmakk returned to his former haunt, however, and the Rebels had to fight him for it. The Alliance took control of the base, and the Alliance Corps of Engineers enlarged the facilities considerably, unwittingly earning the wrath of the Wampas. Then the Empire drove them off-planet (the Rebels, not the Wampas.) After the last TIE fighters left orbit, the crime lord Bingo Mehndra set up shop, until his entire Hoth operation was destroyed by Jabba the Hutt's trained assassins. (Ok, so it was his band, but "trained assassins" sounds so much better, don't you think?) Takel, having hit the spice bag a tad early today, jumps out of his chair, and all but demands that Trioculus locate the Glove before Grand Admiral Grunger does. Trioculus doesn't take too kindly to this sort of thing, and has Hissa execute Takel with a ZING! Scratch one Grand Admiral. (This leaves seven Grand Admirals alive, in case you're keeping score.) Well, Takel can say good bye to his hopes of taking Gargon back. He may not have been a smart man, but at least he went out with a ZING! That can't be said for everyone. Even Grand Admiral Thrawn didn't go out with a ZING! (It was more like a SlLICESQUISH!)

	Meanwhile, Artoo and Threepio are lost. (You know droids with masculine programming--they just can't stop to ask directions.) Wasting Industrial Automation's wonderful droid navigation package, Artoo and Threepio are navigating by trying to find the street signs in Artoo's data banks. IN frustration, Artoo says "Chpeeeeeeeeez phooooooch!" Yes, the Davids wrote out Artoo's dialogue. This suggests that not only were they being paid by the word, they may have been paid by the letter. The droids continue their search, after nearly being run over by a landspeeder limousine carrying Imperial officers (those evil warlords have no consideration!) After being chased by some Imp command speeders, which then destroy their meteor-pod. (Uh oh.) But fortunately, they are saved by Luke Skywalker and Admiral Ackbar, who had landed their captured command speeder in a "Kesselian mountain forest" (most likely a Gaint Fungi Forest.) The group escapes Kessel after shooting down some pursuing command speeders (doesn't anyone use TIE Fighters anymore?) After leaving Kessel, Artoo (via Threepio) advises that they not chart a direct course back to Yavin IV, because there are Imperial probe droids directly in their path. Everyone knows what a threat a tiny Imperial probe droid can be to a modified command speeder, right? So next time, we'll find out about the (are you ready for this?) Endangered Whaladons! Whoo boy! Save the Whaladons. Can't wait.

	I actually liked these books...the first EU I ever read. Then I got XW1 and YJK7. I still have them somewhere...in HC. Three to a volume. Less than 6 bucks for the lot. At least it wasn't my money... Great work with the summary, though. When you're done, I may just print this off and burn the actualy books.

	It's from "A Hoth Time in the Cold Town Tonite". That's a Tales story, but it was brought into the continuity by Insider #67.
