Kem Monnon/Legends

Major Kem Monnon was the chief of the Rebel Alliance Corps of Engineers, which was responsible for establishing the famous Echo Base on the arctic world Hoth. The Corps, led by Monnon, contructed the base over the remains of the Mon Calamari pirate Salmakk's former base. They expanded upon the pirate's base, working with pre-existing ice caves to expedite the process.
