- "Send all troops in Sector Twelve to the South Slope to protect the fighters!"
- ―Leia Organa
The South Ridge,[1] or South Slope,[2] was an area on the Clabburn Range of the frozen planet of Hoth. It was located immediately to the south of Echo Base, a hidden base built by the Rebel Alliance in the aftermath of the Battle of Yavin. When the Galactic Empire attacked Echo Base, the South Ridge was used as a staging area for evacuating the Rebel transports and the starfighters that were to escort them past the Imperial blockade of the system.[1]
