Just a bit more than twelve months following the Battle of Hoth, where the Galactic Empire dislodged the Alliance to Restore the Republic from their headquarters, another battle took place on the frozen planet. This time, it was between the Empire and the Anoat sector's resistance group, the Uprising. The Imperial forces sought to stop the Uprising from acquiring the precious salvage remaining on Hoth.
This particular conflict is a "Sector Battle," a large-scale game event that provides players with significant rewards and influences the progression of in-game content. The canonical result of a Sector Battle remains unknown, as it hinges on player participation. Nonetheless, the general timeframe and the battle's underlying reasons were clarified within the game's description.
