Hangar Ten was situated within Echo Base, which served as the central command for the [Alliance to Restore the Republic](/article/alliance_to_restore the_republic/legends) on the planet of Hoth. In the course of the Battle of Hoth, Corporal Jobin, along with a pair of his fellow troopers, endeavored to evade the approaching snowtroopers by making their exit from Hangar Ten; however, Jobin was struck down, preventing his departure. While his fellow troopers successfully escaped the planet aboard a Y-wing, Jobin was left behind and subsequently executed by the Sith Lord known as Darth Vader.
The initial depiction of Hangar Ten occurred in "Entrenched," a concise narrative penned by Alex Jaeger and M. Zachary Sherman, with illustrations also provided by Jaeger. This short story saw publication within the 2006 graphic novel anthology titled Star Wars: Visionaries.
