The battle for Hoth starts in Star Wars: The Card Game - The Desolation of Hoth, the first Force Pack in "The Hoth Cycle"! The Rebels and other light side forces have created a new base on the barren ice world where the extreme cold offers protection from detection, even as it poses a constant danger. Hoth's cold can exhaust or kill anyone caught exposed, and it's driving winds and snow jam sensors and blind characters, leaving them vulnerable to the planet's fierce, native predators.

In The Desolation of Hoth, the cold strikes in both directions. The Rebel Alliance and their allies have spent time adapting their equipment to Hoth's hard environment, and these preparations pay off in times of need. While the light side controls more of the planet than its enemies, their new Hoth objectives gives them protection from dark side assaults, advantages in edge battles, and other benefits.

However, there's a lot more to this first Force Pack than ice and snow! Inspired by the early scenes from The Empire Strikes Back, The Desolation of Hoth introduces new creatures, droids, snowspeeders, and iconic characters like Wedge Antilles and Darth Vader. The frozen lands of Hoth are normally as desolate as they are vast, but as they set the stage for the future battles of Star Wars: The Card Game, they fill with action and life!
