Hoth is an ancient world. Once it was a lush green world, but millions of years ago a natural disaster occurred that forever changed the planet into a frozen wasteland. All native life has perished at the surface, but perhaps some may still linger below.

Bases

Bases

You are not the first recent visitor to this world. At places you will find research bases like this, populated by scientist busying themselves by probing the ice. Trade these scientist for items or sneak in and grab whatever treasures they have left unattended.

Ice mountains

Ice mountains

Exploring this world you will find different surface features. Among them are ice mountains and ice ridges, built up by weather from above and tectonic shifting from below.

Mountains

Stone mountains

Old towering mountains raise up from the stony surface below the ice and up to the sky. Mine them for stone and ores.

Ice caves

Ice cave

At places something unknown has carved caves tunneling themselves around in the ice. They can provide a quick way to get down to the planet surface. You may also find exposed frozen tree trunks in these.

Gardens

Green garden Grey garden

Rarely you might find small caves in the stone layer where the old planet life is barely hanging on. if you plan to make life return to this world then this is a good place to start.

Ancient mazes

Ancient mazes

During the last days of the civilization that once inhabited the planet they built these bases closer to the planets warm core where they attemted to live on as the surface froze. Unfortunately they all perished all the same and all that is left of them are these mazes. Find these and you will find a lot of useful resources in them.

Domes

Dome

It is rumored that those who once inhabited this world has created vast glass domes on the old surface, in an attempt to preserve some of the planets original life forms as they realized that the planet was doomed. If you find one of these, explore it as you might find some valuabe resources stored in them.

Ice Spikes

Ice Spikes

Giant crystalline structures that protrude through the surface reaching for the sky.

Skeletons

Skeleton

A far off mission on the planet has reported finding this structure. It is still being analyzed, but it does seem as if huge animals like this once lived on the planet. Perhaps they are responsible for the tunneling ice caves? While it would be amazing to find one of these alive, it would also strike anyone who encounters it with great fear!
