A tiny but crucial agency that maintains physical coordinates like latitude and longitude in the US is struggling as the Trump administration forces out federal employees.
You know…. now that you mention it. Why didn’t the empire launch an orbital bombardment on Hoth. Or at the very least land artillery to shell the trenches? Plus they totally had the Tie fighters to run interference on the evacuation since planetary space was uncontested.
Hoth had Orbital bombardment shields, they needed to assault on foot to take out the generators. By that point, the base had evacuated, so why waste resources destroying the base? Probably took it over afterwards and scanned through data and whatnot
They didn’t know the location of the ice base at first, once they found it and the walkers blew up the shield generators Vader should have just turned the whole area into a smoking crater and watched from the comfort of his ship.
