Here is chapter 5. It will take place during the time of the Empire Strikes Back.
Luke could not figure it out. The only thing he could guess was the force had a sick since of hummer. It's the only reason he could figure he ended back on Hoth. When they learned they were coming here the others were not any happier about it, though both Coran and Mara did laugh at his face he made when they heard.
It was not all bad this time around. For one thing the speeders were working from the beginning. Luke was also able to make some suggestions about were to set the base up. He suggested another area where there was a spot hidden that they could set up the power generators and shield generators.
Luke was standing at the entrance of the south hanger bay were Rogue Squadron had their fighters and speeders thinking about the last couple years since the Death Star was destroyed.
When they arrived at the main fleet and landed on Home One they were busy with briefings with High Command plus all the data Mara got before leaving Coruscant. General Cracken spoke with Mara for a couple weeks before he was satisfied he got all the information he could from her. He also had a team going through all the data on the Escape.
Mara and Luke also went and saw a medic about her pregnancy. They lucked out and their medic was Cilghal. With her as their medic they were able to let her know she was force sensitive. They had Ben work with her till they could get her to Dagobah for some training with Yoda. They did have some medical training information due to Corran's Grandfather.
With Mara pregnant she was not able to fly with Luke and Corran when they flew with Rogue squadron. Instead she flew with Mirax in the Escape and did supply runs. She also worked with Cilghal to help her with her training.
Luke and Corran flew with Rogue squadron doing missions against the Empire. They also did some missions on the ground working as a team or with the Escape. Most of their ground missions were intel gathering and they did a few rescue missions.
When Mara had their twins Simara and Selena, Mara stayed on Home One for the first 6 months. After 6 months it was decided that with the Hoth mission coming up that Ben would take the twins to Naboo to the Naberrie family. Ben would stay and help protect the twins.
When they started planning the Hoth mission Luke and Mara joined the planning. Luke made sure they picked a spot for Echo Base were they could conceal the power and shield generators and give them a better land defense against the Empire if they were to launch a ground attack against the Rebel base. Another good thing was that since Yavin IV was not know to the Empire yet, they ground personnel were not as numerous.
Luke was brought out of his thoughts when a familiar force presence came up behind him. Mara wrapped her arms around Luke and leaned in to his back.
"Your thinking to loud."
"Sorry, was just thinking about the last two years and how the force has a weird since of hummer."
Mara gave a small chuckle. "It has been a busy couple years. I also miss the twins. I wish we could take small vacation and go visit them but I know we can not. Something is coming. I don't know when but I have feeling we will be needed here soon."
"I miss them too. I also have the same feeling. We will just have to wait. With all the data you gave the Alliance we have made some head way to ending this."
"Come on Luke Han and Chewie are back and they brought Hal, Leia and Cilghal. They dropped Master Yoda off at the main fleet."
"OK, lets go see how are small band of Jedi are doing."
L/M
Luke was in command when a probe droid was spotted near the base. Command had ordered all patrols to return to base and for the blast door closed. They also had to shut down communications and radar in a hope to not be seen. The problem was that Renegade Squadron was due back any minute and Command had no way of alerting them of the possible threat.
Luke and Mara volunteered to go out and try to take it out without it seeing them. They took a speeder till thy were close then continued on foot. They were just closing on probe droid when Renegade Squadron made their approach to base. Before the two Jedi Masters could reach the droid it sent a data burst.
L/M
Corran was in command with Leia when Luke reported in. "It got a data burst off before we could reach it. Renegade flew over on their approach to base so its a good bet the Empire knows where we are."
Leia looked over to General Rieekan who ordered all units to start evacuating procedures. Leia ordered Luke and Mara to return to base as fast as they could.
L/M
Luke, Mara and Corran were with all the pilots getting a brief on their duties during the evacuation. The rest of the Jedi will help get the base personnel clear of the base before leaving on the Escape.
Luke turned to Rogue squadron after their briefing. "Everyone listen up. If the Empire lands AT-AT Walkers use your harpoons and go for the legs. The armor will be to thick for the speeders lasers. Work as a team and be careful. Once the order is given get back to your fighters and help escort the transport out of here. We will all meet up with the main fleet after wards. May the force be with you."
Luke, Mara and Corran would all pilot a speeder so that they would have a better chance of getting close to the Walkers to take them down.
L/M
Luke and Rogue group were in their speeders heading for the group of AT-AT Walkers closes to the Power and Shield generators. As they came in they all separated and took a walker. Luke with Dax as his gunner lead Wedge and Jansen to their first target. Luke had told Wedge to tuck in on Luke's tail and he would get them through this. The Walker opened up on them as the started their approach. With Wedge tucked in they closed in. When they flew through the walkers legs Dax fired his harpoon. Luke circled the Walker as Wedge piled out so he could make a run on the Walker when it collapsed. A coupe minutes later it was down and Wedge hit it between the head and body.
Mara and Corran also had a good run on theirs and two more walkers where down. When the first battle between the speeders was over the Rogues only lost two speeders.
They next hit the AT-AT's near the landing field where the transports were loading. They only lost one speeder during that fight but the pilot crashed near the base and him and his gunner got out and made for the base.
L/M
When the order was given Luke lead his remaining speeders headed toward the fighters so they could leave Hoth them selves. Luke landed near where Rogue Squadron's fighters. The escape was also there waiting to load all the none pilots from the speeder crews on board.
When Luke climbed out Hal met him at his speeder. "Master Skywalker we have all yours, Mara's and Corrans gear loaded. Mirax has the coordinates plotted and all three of your R2 units have them as well."
"Thanks Hal. Get the gunners that are not pilots on board and we will all take off. No longer then 10 minutes."
"Yes Luke."
Luke was climbing up the latter to his fighter when he saw the Falcon take off. He reached out and could tell it had Han, Chewie and Leia on it. He just hoped the hyperdrive didn't go out again.
As his fighter warmed up he looked to the X-Wing next to his and saw his wife bringing her fighter on line also.
Sending through the force his love 'Love you Mara'
Mara looked up from what she was doing and looked at him 'Love you too Farmboy. You get hurt and I will vape you so you better be safe.'
10 minutes later Rogue squadron was breaking atmosphere escorting the Escape and 4 transports. Once the transports were clear to jump to hyperspace the 10 X-Wings, 4 transports and the Escape all jumped.
L/M
Vader listen to the reports from the ground. The rebels were putting up a heavier fight then expected. None of the AT-AT's tasked with the Power Generator or the air field survived. While the speeders lasers were to under powered to breach the armor on the AT-AT's the used their tow cables effectively. He also felt several force signatures on the planet including his son.
The rebels also disabled several Star Destroyers with their land base Ion cannon to give the transports a large corridor to escape threw. The rebels also launched several proton torpedoes at the bridge of those disabled destroyers and even destroyed one of them. His Master would not be happy with this.
The only good news was that one of the rebel ships was not able to enter hyperspace and was now being chased through an asteroid field. He would get answers he needed to bring is son over to is side so they both could bring down the Emperor and rule the galaxy together.
L/M
Han had landed the Falcon on an asteroid in an attempted to hide from the Tie fighters looking for them. He was servicing the engines and hyper drive when the Empire showed up. So now he was stuck till he could find a way out of here.
L/M
Luke and the others arrived at the main fleet and were getting every organized. Luke made sure all the Jedi had quarters near each other while he had Wedge get the Rogue's squared away. Mara had gone to make arrangements for the two of them to take a trip to Naboo to see their daughters. He still had not heard anything on the Falcon yet and was getting a bad feeling.
So Luke ended back on Hoth and Mara had twin girl. I figured Luke needed to have future problems to look forward to. Like two daughters that look like their mother dating. Well the battle went a lot different. This time old Darth never made it planet side. Han still is stuck in the asteroid field with a busted hyperdrive. I know it wasn't as long as the last 2 but I wanted to spit up this part of the story in at least 2 chapters.
