During the Battle of Hoth, Blue Squadron was assigned to defend the post,^[2] and the outpost's troops were commanded by Trey Callum.^[4] Outpost Beta was the first to confirm the presence of Imperial troops on the ground. The station was the first sentry base destroyed during the battle, after being annihilated in half a dozen laser blasts from an All Terrain Armored Transport walker.^[1]
