The battle of Hoth was a major defeat for the Rebel Alliance in the Galactic Civil War.
History
Following the destruction of the first Death Star, the Rebel Alliance relocated their base of operations from Yavin IV to the uninhabited planet Hoth.
Imperial probe droids eventually located the base, and a fleet led by Darth Vader -- composed of several Imperial Star Destroyers led by the Executor -- moved in to destroy the base. The Rebels activated a planetary shield system that prevented the Imperial fleet from directly bombarding the base, forcing the Empire to deploy Stormtroopers and AT-AT Walkers to approach under the shield to eliminate that defense.
The battle was a major defeat for the Rebellion, costing them a great deal in equipment and manpower in their hasty evacuation of the base.
