Hoth · Captain Valon investigation: where to go and what to do
The Rift Alliance coalition fights the White Maw on Hoth. Four required missions form one sequence; the intercom assignment itself is first. Travel to Aurek Base, investigate Captain Valon's survival, protect the thermal installation, obtain the weakness of his armor and stop his dreadnought plan.
4 required story missions. Use the numbered instructions below to find the right contact, progress the purple quest and jump directly to the next required class mission. Heroics, planetary chains and kill-count bonuses are deliberately excluded.
