Attack on the Ion Cannon.
About this creation
The story of Corporal Jobin and 4th Squad.
Crouching in the trenches of Echo Station 5-7, Corprol Jobin and his squad hide from the devastating fire from the advancing Imperial forces that are over running the base. These trenches protect the South entrance of the main base and the facilities around the South Ridge.

A small group of Snowtroopers and an AT-ST head towards the South Ridge and the Ion cannon control room.

Corporal Jobin spots them slip past his trench. Realising their objective, and the importance of the Ion cannon to the success of their escape from the Imperial blockade, he sets off in pursuit.

By the time the squad catches up with the Imperials they have already destroyed the DF9 tower guarding the entrance to the Ion control room. Snowtroopers have entered the tunnel, leaving the AT-ST to guard their rear.

In a desperate attempt to distract the AT-ST, two of the squad dash in front of its' path and draw its' fire. At the same time Jobin primes his explosive charge and runs out to launch it at the walker.

The explosives reach their target and the AT-ST comes crashing to the ice.

Meanwhile inside the control room the communicator crackles with the calls from flight control, "Ion control, we have two transports lifting off." But there is no response, only the thud of the Snowtroopers boots.

The squad make their way cautiously up the tunnel toward the control room.

Then leading from the front Jodin leads his men into the melee and the horror of close combat. Fear and adrenalin carry them forward, through the laser blasts.

Jobin reaches out for the Ion cannon fire button, but is caught by one of the Snowtroopers. Breaking off an icicle he uses this to stab the trooper and hit the fire button. How many Rebels did he save in this one act?

Echo Base has been over run and Jobin and his men's only chance of escape is to find a transport. They get to Hanger Seven just in time to see the Millennium Falcon leaving.

"Back to the South Hanger!" But now they have pursuers hot on their tail.

As they head towards Y-wing prep bay Jobin is hit by fire from the pursuers and falls to the ground. "Get out of here", he shouts and throws his message pod to his comrade. "Give this to my mother."

He then turn and empties his weapon in the direction of Darth Vader, but with little effect on Vader's progress towards him.

"Tell me where the rendezvous is...and I might perhaps be merciful." Vaders voice percies the silence but not Jobins spirt.
"Keep your mercy for someone else....."

not many people about5 this part in the battle of hoth, thank you for bringing it into lego. It might be a good idea to include a scene of the delivery of the message, though. |

I remember this character from Starwars: Visionaries. Very Cool. You should put Dash Rendar from Shadows of the Empire in the backround of the Millenium Falcon scene to make it more accurate. Please review my MOCs. |
