Mainworld Data[edit]
Hoth has a Good Starport with shipyards able of handling Spacecraft up to the Overhaul level, and provides Refined fuel. The main world is roughly 8,000 kilometers in diameter, and is a Small terrestrial with gravity of 0.5G. The otherwise standard atmosphere (1.0) contains an unusual disease (SPBC) which requires the use of a filter mask. A vaccine is commonly available on the world for this disease. The surface is roughly 75–84 percent surface ice, which qualifies it as a wet world. The main world has a general population of 1,000 local residents, which qualifies it as a Low population world. The local government is characterized as Representative Democracy, with government by elected representatives. Visitors may find the law barely restrictive as portable energy weapons are regulated or restricted by local authorities.
There is a small population of humaniti who live in an old military installation tunneled into a mountainside. They survive by salvaging the surprisingly large amount of spacecraft debris scattered across the planet surface.

Native Lifeforms[edit]
Native to the planet are a carnivorous yeti-like creature, which preys on the non-sentient 2m tall bipedal reptomammals that roam the surface. These reptomammals feed on lichen and small ice plants which often grow in glacial caves and grottos, the crevices serving as their homes due to heat from the planet's core often coming up through the openings. Sunlight passing through the ice of the caves allows the small plants to grow, thus providing a source of food for the creatures.
