After abandoning their headquarters at the Massassi outpost on Yavin 4, the core group of the Rebel Alliance established Echo Base on the Hoth. Alliance engineers worked non-stop to adapt their technology to withstand the subzero temperature extremes of the frigid ice planet. When the technicians were unable to get the T-47s functioning in time, the Rebels domesticated the indigenous tauntaun for use as a patrol mount.
放弃了雅文4号卫星上马萨西前哨基地内的总部后，义军同盟核心小组在霍斯建立了回波基地。同盟工程师日以继夜地工作，确保他们的科技能适应这颗冰冷行星的零下极端气温。技师们无法及时恢复T-47的功能后，义军便驯养当地的汤汤作为巡逻坐骑。

The nerve center of Echo Base was its darkened command center, where General Rieekan issued orders to the rest of his troops. Here, Alliance scanner operators carefully monitored incoming data from the scattered sensors placed by Rebel scouts in the Hoth wilderness.
回波基地的神经中枢位于其黑暗的指挥中心，里肯将军在那里向其他部队发号施令。同盟扫描器操作员在这里仔细监控传感器发回的数据。那些分散的传感器被义军侦察兵放置在霍斯野外。

Protecting Echo Base was a powerful energy shield strong enough to deflect Imperial bombardment. When the Empire arrived in the Hoth system, the Rebels erected the shield, forcing the Imperials to engage in a ground battle. The Rebels speedily evacuated the personnel and equipment they could aboard Rebel transports with starfighter escorts, offering covering fire for the fleeing ships from a massive ground-based ion cannon.
保护回波基地的强大能量护盾足以抵挡帝国轰炸。当帝国到达霍斯星系时，义军开启护盾，迫使帝国发动地面进攻。在星际战斗机的护航下，义军尽可能迅速地将人员和设备疏散到义军运输舰内，一门大型陆基离子炮为撤离的舰只提供掩护火力。

As the transports retreated, the Rebel ground forces and snowspeeder squadrons covered their escape by delaying the Imperials for as long as they could. Rebel troopers dug into snowy trenches, blasting at the incoming Imperials with turret-mounted laser cannons and blaster rifles. The Imperial walkers were unstoppable. The Rebels were routed and Echo Base was overrun.
运输舰撤离时，义军地面部队和雪地飞行艇中队为他们提供掩护，尽可能拖住帝国军队。义军士兵挖了雪地堑壕，用激光炮塔和步枪攻击来袭的帝国军队。但帝国步行机势不可挡。义军被击溃，回波基地沦陷。

衍生宇宙



Echo Base was not the first outpost to be established in the frozen caverns of Hoth. Many of the planet's northern glacial plains are hollowed out naturally by volcanic and seismic activity. These vast networks of caverns in the ice have lured smugglers, pirates, Imperials and Rebels alike.
回波基地不是建在霍斯冰洞里的第一个前哨基地。这颗行星北方的许多冰原被火山和地震活动天然挖空。这些巨大的冰下洞网对走私者、海盗、帝国和义军都有吸引力。

When Alliance High Command agreed to use Hoth as their headquarters, the task fell to Major Kem Monnon and his Alliance Corps of Engineers to carve Echo Base out of the living ice. Monnon, a capable engineer and respected leader, led his crew through the cold hardship of carving the ice with laser-borers, mechanical drills and more than a few mitted hands and vibro-spades. It took 18 months to carve the base and it took another two to fit the caverns with electronics, weapons and life support.
同盟最高指挥部同意把霍斯用作总部后，在宜居冰原开挖出回波基地的任务就落到了凯姆·蒙农少校及其同盟工程队的肩上。作为一个能干的工程师和受人尊敬的领导，蒙农带领他的队伍在冰天雪地里艰苦工作，用激光钻孔机、机械钻头，甚至徒手和振动铲开凿坚冰。开凿这个基地用了18个月，而在基地中安装电器、武器和维生系统又用了两个月。

Echo Base used a combination of high-yield power generators and naturally occurring volcanic heat sinks as power sources, and had a state of the art command, communication and medical center. Echo Base was ultimately designed to be abandoned. Communication and power lines were mounted on wall exteriors for easy takedown during evacuation procedures. As Monnon and his crew often remarked, "it's not pretty, but it works."
回波基地把大功率发电机和天然形成的火山热岛结合在一起，作为动力源。基地内有先进的指挥、通讯和医疗中心。回波基地本来就被设计为会被最终抛弃。通讯线和电线被安装在墙外，以便撤离时拆卸。蒙农及其部下常评价道：“它不漂亮，但很实用。”

Echo Base was designed to support several thousand military, diplomatic and support personnel. The Hoth base extended seven levels down into the hard, frozen rock of the planet. The base featured two hangars. The northernmost was for small ship and vehicle launches, used for immediate deployment and scout missions. The southern hangar, at the end of the south slope, supported a larger staging areas. Because the Alliance Fleet was dispersed around the galaxy, set to rendezvous beyond the Galactic Rim, Echo Base was not designed to handle any starships bigger than a medium transport.
回波基地被设计为可支持几千名军事、外交和后勤人员。这座霍斯基地向行星内部坚硬冰冷的岩石延伸了七层。这座基地有两个机库。北机库供小飞船和座驾升降，用于紧急部署和侦察任务。南机库位于南坡末端，拥有更大的集结区。由于同盟舰队散布银河各地，在银河边缘外会合，因此回波基地在设计上不适合任何比中型运输舰更大的飞船起降。

Scattered throughout the perimeter of Echo Base were a number of manned patrol stations, called Echo stations. These outposts were distributed in a grid-like pattern, with numerical identifiers indicating their placement on the grid. The stations were typically manned by Rebel soldiers, armed with artillery to hold off Imperial attack in case of discovery.
分散在回波基地四周的是许多人工操作的巡逻站，它们被称为回波站。这些岗哨呈网格状分布，它们在网格中的位置由数字标示。回波站一般由义军士兵操作，上面装大炮，一旦被帝国发现，它们能拖延帝国的进攻。

Laying outside Echo Base's shield perimeter is Outpost Beta. It monitored activity in Echo Base's Zone 12, and passed on data to other Echo stations. It was this station that first spotted the Imperial landing that began the Battle of Hoth, and was destroyed early on in the fighting. It forwarded its information to other Echo Stations.
岗哨β就位于回波基地护盾边界外。它负责监视回波基地12区的活动，向其它回波站传送数据。正是这个回波站最早发现帝国军降落，发动霍斯战役。战斗打响后没多久它就被摧毁了。它将情报转发给了其它回波站。

Another important outpost is Echo Station 5-7. This one, located at the junction of the network of trenches dug in the snow, was the first to receive contact from the incoming snowspeeder flights sent to defend Echo Base.
另一个重要的岗哨是回波站5-7。这个岗哨位于雪中堑壕网的一个交叉点上，是第一个同雪地飞行艇中队取得联系的岗哨。被派去保卫回波基地的雪地飞行艇当时正在靠近。

幕后



The Echo Base hangar bay was an immense set containing full-size vessels -- including the Millennium Falcon, X-wings and snowspeeders -- supplemented by matte paintings delivered by ILM. The live-action elements were filmed on the so-called Star Wars Stage at Elstree Studios, which was constructed following the success of the 1977 original. The Star Wars Stage measured 250 feet long (76 meters), 122 feet wide (37 meters), and 45 feet high (14 meters), with a total capacity of 1.25 million cubic feet (35,000 cubic meters).
回波基地的机库是一个巨型场景，其中真实比例的座驾——包括“千年隼号”、X翼和雪地飞行艇——由工业光魔提供的背景彩绘实现。其实景元素在埃尔斯特里摄影棚的所谓“《星球大战》舞台”拍摄，这个舞台是在1977年《星球大战》大获成功后建造的。《星球大战》舞台长250英尺（76米）、宽122英尺（37米）、高45英尺（14米），总容积达125万立方英尺（35000立方米）。
