Ledick Firest/Legends

Ledick Firest was a Rebel Alliance officer stationed at Echo Base around the time of the Battle of Hoth.

Biography
Prior to being assigned to Echo Base, Firest served as a field commander in the Laramus Base Irregulars. On Hoth, Colonel Firest was under the command of General Rieekan and Major Derlin. He was responsible for carrying out their orders in the field. Firest came up with much of the plan to hold off the Imperial ground assault to give the Alliance enough time to evacuate their transports. He set up the defenses to make the Empire think the Rebels were trying to protect the power generator and allow the walkers access to it. Meanwhile, Firest's true goal was to protect the evacuation staging area. He knew that his orders would lead to the deaths of many of the Alliance's best and brightest soldiers, but the casualties of the day would have been much higher if not for Firest. He survived the battle and escaped on the last transport off Hoth.
