Code Red Alert

"I say again. Code Red Alert! Imperial Walkers sighted on north ridge, 2 klicks from Echo! General Rieekan!"
"I copy, Colonel. Initiate Evac Rearguard Action 101. You have five companies defense troops, a couple of flights of Speeders at your disposal—followed by whatever else we can scrape together."
"Roger that. Five companies, two flights. That's not much to hold off an Assault Group…"
"That's all we have, Colonel Firest…and Ledick—it's all or nothing this time."

―Colonel Ledick Firest and General Carlist Rieekan

Colonel Ledick Firest issued a Code Red Alert regarding the sightings of Imperial All Terrain Armored Transports outside Echo Base before the Battle of Hoth's commencement.
