Legend

this Alliance transport ship was the last to evacuate Echo Base following the Battle of Hoth. As it lifted off from the ice world, it was disabled by Zuckuss and 4-LOM, who had entered the system to respond to the bounty on Han Solo. They felt that bringing the Bright Hope down would help mitigate the fact that they were responsible for the capture of Sector Governor Nardix. The Bright Hope was then further disabled by one of the Imperial Star Destroyers in the system, and drifted without power. Eighteen members of the crew escaped in three operable life pods, and Toryn Farr was able to rescue the rest of the passengers, with the help of Zuckuss and 4-LOM. The two hunters realized that the Alliance would accept them more than the Empire, and would help the Gand if they could.
