'''Echo Station 5-7''' was a [[Scout/Legends|scout]] post that was situated at the perimeter of the [[Alliance to Restore the Republic/Legends|Rebel Alliance's]] [[Echo Base/Legends|Echo Base]], located on the ice-[[Planet/Legends|world]] of [[Hoth/Legends|Hoth]]. [[Corporal/Legends|Corporal]] [[Jobin]] and his men manned this post during the [[Battle of Hoth/Legends|rearguard action]] that was meant to stall the [[Galactic Empire/Legends|Imperial]] [[Imperial Army/Legends|Army]] long enough for the Rebellion to evacuate the base. The post was eventually overrun by [[All Terrain Armored Transport/Legends|All Terrain Armored Transports]] and [[HAVw A5 Juggernaut|A5 Juggernauts]], but not before Jobin took a squad back to the Rebels' [[V-150 Planet Defender/Legends|planetary ion cannon]] in order to prevent its capture by Imperial forces.<ref name="Entrenched">''[[Entrenched]]''</ref> Echo Station 5-7 was also the site of three airbases and docked [[GR-75 medium transport/Legends|evacuation shuttles]].
